holiday suggestions pls!?

Question

im going on a 2 wk holiday with boyfriend next year. We want to go somewhere really different and exciting, as neither of us has left Europe before and ideally we would like to get in more than one country/destination. We would like something that offers the chance to explore;
island life
rainforests
sunshine
surfing
monkeys
ninjas/martial arts
(the last 2 in the list are very important to my boyfriend!)
Does anyone have any suggestions pls, as we have so little time and want to fit so much in, but really don't have a clue where to start!
All advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Answer 1

Brazil? they do some sort of martial art there called capoeira or something like that

Answer 2

Can't give you any info about martial arts, but if you want rainforests, watersports, moneys (and orang-utans) and plenty of sunshine, try Sabah (East Borneo) - you could start at Kota Kinabalu where there's an infant orang-utan sanctuary at the Rasa Ria Resort which is a gorgeous hotel - I would do two nights there and see the baby orang-utans, then get the hotel to arrange transport to their sister resort, the Tanjung Aru which is an hour away - do a few days there where you can get a boat out to the islands where the snorkelling is amazing - you can do all the usual watersports too. Both resorts have gorgeous spas, beaches etc. Then travel to Sandakan where there's another orang-utan sanctuary where they're sent to rehabilitate them for the wild once they're a little older. There are turtles and all sorts of sealife and great diving/snorkelling again. After that, fly to Kuala Lumpur or Singapore for a bit of fast city living - or go on to Thailand for more gorgeous beaches. I love South East Asia - the internal flights are cheap as chips (about £80 return generally) and it's just gorgeous.

Answer 3

Wow!!!

pretty eclectic, it's gonna be so hard for you guys to match surfing with monkeys, I would have to say a trip to Japan!
Japan is an island country which would provide plenty of beaches and surfing, They also have some mokeys there, I'm not sure if they're wild or not. Martial arts would also have to be a community attraction point just due to their rich history revolving around the arts.

Answer 4

Honolulu has it all. Find that place with this specific hotelbye little help. Honolulu is your home of a number of Hawaii's most old places. From Iolani Palace, the Kawaiahao Church, the Hawaiian Mission Houses Historic Site and Archive and the treasured artefacts of the Bishop Museum to legendary landmarks like the Aloha Tower, the King Kamehameha I Statue, the Duke Kahanamoku Statue and the historic Hawaii Theatre, Honolulu has, without a doubt, lots of interesting places. Honolulu can also be the Hawaii's hot spot for arts, lifestyle and entertainment. Among the places you can't skip from your own holydays in Honolulu is Waikiki, the key beach location of most people going to Honolulu and the area of Oahu. This place is known for its big crescent formed beach, where readers come to sit out in the sun, swim, and figure out how to surf.

Answer 5

Hawaii Hawaii Hawaii!!!!!

It is got to be the most Versatile holiday ever. They Have World Championship waves, lush almost tropical rainforests, active volcanoes!!! and The most hottest temps all year round!!

It also has the lowest crime rate in US!! (Thanks, of course to Dog The Bounty Hunter which is based there in Waikiki Beach) Honolulu is the best place to go because it provides easy access to other islands, Oahu, Hawaii.

Go there all year round and it will provide you with the same temp, the nicest food, the BEST Surking and Kayaking, amongst other things, also go see where Thomas Magnum PI Was filmed in the 1980's!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

It should be Malaysia.
Island Life - In the heart of Asia lies some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. With infinite carpets of sparkling white sand that stretch for miles and miles, and crystal clear waters around exotic tropical islands.
Take long evening strolls on miles and miles of idyllic beaches. Or catch the rare sight of newborn turtles going out on their first sea adventure. Be seduced by the serenity of island life.

Rainforests - Forty-seven percent of Malaysia is forested, with a total forest area of approximately thirty-seven million acres. Since the mid-1990s, Malaysia's deforestation rate has been over 2.4 percent annually.
A land that is blessed with natural wonders galore, making it perfect for a memorable eco-holiday. With Mount Kinabalu - one of Southeast Asia's highest mountains - towering amidst a veil of clouds, the largest cave chamber in the world at Mulu Caves and lush tropical jungles that have been teeming with wildlife for millions of years.
Full of wonders and attractions, challenge yourself with the ultimate adventure. Whether trekking amidst untouched tropical jungles. Or base jumping off the KL tower. Experience the exhilaration of endless escapades.

sunshine - Being a maritime country close to the equator, Malaysia naturally has abundant sunshine and thus solar radiation. However, it is extremely rare to have a full day with completely clear sky even in periods of severe drought. The cloud cover cuts off a substantial amount of sunshine and thus solar radiation. On the average, Malaysia receives about 6 hours of sunshine per day. There are, however, seasonal and spatial variations in the amount of sunshine received. Alor Setar and Kota Bharu receive about 7 hours per day of sunshine while Kuching receives only 5 hours on the average. On the extreme, Kuching receives only an average of 3.7 hours per day in the month of January. On the other end of the scale, Alor Setar receives a maximum of 8.7 hours per day on the average in the same month.
Solar radiation is closely related to the sunshine duration. Its seasonal and spatial variations are thus very much the same as in the case of sunshine.

Surfing - Cherating,Malaysia
Very long (1.5km)sand bottom left hander point break that peels perfectly into Cherating bay/beach. The wave has a good shape and barrells thoughout on a strong swell. Ridable on 1-2 foot of swell but really goes off over 3foot. Only breaks from Nov/Dec to April when swells are generated in the South China Sea. Protected headlands with typical winter wind pattern of offfore (southwest) in the morning and offshore (northwest) in the arvo. The break is so long your legs get sore and you have to run back around. Another long left break (1.2km) lies just north and is always a foot or two bigger (paddle north from Cherating Point then walk around beach) Some local surfers and 2 expat Aussies, friendly locals.

Monkey - Malaysia's award-winning Sukau Rainforest Lodge, next to the famous Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary, with few species type of monkey and one of two places in the world to be inhabited by ten species of primates, four of which are only to be found here!
Sukau Rainforest Lodge is located on the Kinabatangan River, close to the village of Sukau. At 560km long, Kinabatangan River is Sabah's longest and Malaysia's second longest river, meandering through a flood plain creating numerous ox-bow lakes, an ideal environment for some of the best wildlife and birdwatching in Malaysia and beyond.

Martial arts - visitors to Kota Bharu, the capital of Kelantan, can view the traditional arts of Kelantan, including kiteflying, rebana (giant drums), silat (martial arts),Thailand Martial art (Tomoi/kick boxing) giant top spinning, wayang kulit (shadow play).
