Have you heard of the newest travel trend of land snorkeling? Land snorkeling is a new, quirky way of exploring nature with no agenda, just curiosity. Travelers “snorkel” through the landscape at a slower pace, allowing more time to notice mossy rocks, hidden creatures and other little details easily missed in the rush of things.
Land snorkeling gained its popularity in Montana’s American Prairie and now takes over some of the world’s most serene, sensory-rich and beautiful settings. Below are some hotels for travelers who want to try out this latest trend:
InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef
Located in Australia, InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef is only accessible by private boat or helicopter. The island is already a sanctuary for slow living, and the lush land with rainforest trails, wild orchids and little critters make it the perfect place for land snorkeling.
Kimpton Vero Beach Resort & Spa
Kimpton Vero Beach sits on a quieter stretch of land and offers endless access to natural dunes, sea grape groves and coastal hammocks. Walk barefoot through the sand or wander through the mangroves; either way, you’ll participate in this new trend.
InterContinental Phuket Resort
Resting on the west coast of Phuket, Kamala Beach is surrounded by sandy shores, beautiful mountains and crystal-clear waters. Take the Kamala Bike Tour to visit hot spots such as the ancient Garcinia tree, a landmark unique to the Kamala area; Bang Wan waterfall, a local coconut garden; and tie-dying with a local artisan. All activities allow you to take it slow and notice details you may not have seen before.
