The Andaman Islands have everything you could desire from an adventurous eco-tourism charter destination. There are literally hundreds of deserted islands to explore, each one seemingly more spectacular than the last. The beaches are magnificently pristine. The snorkeling and scuba diving is amongst the best in the world with an almost untouched marine ecosystem. There is a live volcano, thousands of square miles of untouched jungle, exotic and thriving wildlife and primitive hunter-gatherer tribes. The fishing (catch & release) is probably the best in the world. The Andamans is also starting to develop a superb reputation as a frontier surfing destination where the reef breaks have never been surfed before. http://www.yachtchartersmagazine.com/read/244401.htmhttp://www.yachtchartersmagazine.com/read/244401.htm Sat, 12 Aug 2006 10:30:00 GMT With an abundance of wildlife, coupled with rugged landscapes ranging from the sprawling Serengeti to lush rainforests and pristine beaches, the region is truly a destination for the ultimate traveler.

It was a position that was indeed challenging, but provided me with the tremendous opportunity of being able to explore wondrous locales that had previously existed only in my imagination. http://www.yachtchartersmagazine.com/read/45635.htmhttp://www.yachtchartersmagazine.com/read/45635.htm Tue, 20 Jul 2004 00:00:00 GMT Guests on Ursa Major enjoy close encounters with wildlife, breathtaking vistas, and fresh-caught evening meals. http://www.yachtchartersmagazine.com/read/44490.htmhttp://www.yachtchartersmagazine.com/read/44490.htm Wed, 14 Apr 2004 00:00:00 GMT It sounds too good to be true, but the nature of the Alaskan cruising season makes it feasible to charter a private yacht and plan your own itinerary. My own mother was among the dozen or so people who looked at me knowingly and said: 'I've done Alaska. You'll love it!'
