💦 🪨 The Baths National Park 🪨 💦 Just the right mix of adventure and relaxation on our excursion to the British Virgin Islands today. After taking a ferry to Virgin Gorda from Tortola (where our cruise ship was was docked) we hiked a series of trails and paths down to a spectacular soft sand beach with turquoise waters. The trail itself wove through crevices between gigantic granite boulders and had a network of ladders and handrails to guide us. Our favorite sections of the trail were where we were stepping across shallow pools of water. It was one of many trails the national park has to offer, but if hiking isn’t your thing, you’ll be happy to know there happens to be a full bar, restaurant, small shopping area and plenty of lounge chairs and shade at the beach, too. Oh, and you don’t have to take this trail. There’s a much simpler path down just a few steps from the parking lot you could take instead… it’s just not nearly as much fun. 😉 Cost to enter: $3/per person Taxi from ferry dock: $40/per vehicle that seats 10 Water shoes or sandals that can get wet are recommended on the trail. Be sure to bring plenty of water and sunscreen. There is a restroom with changing rooms and showers at the beach, plus lockers for storage. Picnic tables are available and you are permitted to bring outside food. My only complaint about cruising is that we get to gorgeous destinations like this and I don’t want to leave! I’m definitely putting this on my “want to return someday” list. Who wants to come with me next time?? #britishvirginislands #thebathsnationalpark #thebathsvirgingorda #hikingbvi #cruiseexcursion

🤩 My ALL TIME FAVORITE Money Saving Hack for Theme Parks in Orlando! 🤩 One day at Discovery Cove + 14 days of UNLIMITED access to Aquatica and SeaWorld (& a dolphin swim and Busch Gardens add on if you’d like) all for under $200/per person! Once a year the SeaWorld parks bundle together the most epic money saving pass in Orlando. It’s posted on the Discovery Cove website around Black Friday - typically beginning around the second week of November. You choose your day to visit Discovery Cove in advance for the next calendar year (don’t worry, you can change it if weather or plans impact your travels) and then choose any add ons you’d like. Want 14 days of unlimited access to Busch Gardens? Sure! That will be an extra $20. How about a dolphin swim experience for an additional $30? All said, even if you add on ALL the extras available, a pass will cost you under $200 per person. AND it includes FREE parking at all the venues! At anytime surrounding your Discovery Cove day, you can visit the parks included with your pass for 14 consecutive days. That’s a full two weeks of entertainment for your family at: 🐬 Discovery Cove - a piece of paradise nestled in Orlando. This is an all inclusive day at a warm water oasis. All you can eat food and drink, beach chairs, wet suits, sunscreen and snorkel gear are all included. Float the lazy river to find the aviary, feed the birds, watch the otters swim alongside you, search for monkeys, snorkel with rays and sharks, or just relax in the sand. This is also the spot you can add a dolphin interaction to your pass! 🐋 SeaWorld Orlando - an epic mix of aquatic animals, thrilling rides, and entertainment. SeaWorld is home to my favorite coaster of all time - Mako - the tallest and fastest coaster in Orlando! Don’t miss the Orca show or the mime at the Sea Lion theater. 💦 Aquatica - An action packed waterpark! Here you can zip along in river rapids, take a water slide ride through a shark tank, or take on the wave pool. 🎢 Busch Gardens - located in Tampa and the best place for thrill rides, entertainment and to spot over 12,000 animals. 💦 Who’s booking this with us for 2024?!?! 💦#seaworld #orlando #travelhack #discoverycove

🦭 SeaWorld Orlando 🦭 SeaWorld is one of our favorite theme parks in Orlando. The shows are wonderful, the animals are amazing, and the coasters are awesome!! (Promise me you’ll ride Mako if you go!) But did you know you and your kids can actually feed the sea lions? Tucked behind the Sea Lion and Otter stadium is Pacific Point preserve. Head to the booth and pick up 3 trays of fish for just $10. The sea lions will be soooo excited to see you. We’ve seen them wave, nod, and jump up and down for fish as we toss them into their mouths! When you are done you can head to the hand washing station, so you don’t have to walk around the park smelling like stinky fish all day. 😉 🐟 You can also feed the rays, sharks, and dolphins in the park! #seaworld #seaworldorlando #sealions #fish #deadfish #familyfun #hiddengem #orlando #orlandoflorida
