Travel in style from start to finish with the full VIP service at Montego Bay airport. You'll experience Jamaican hospitality as its best on landing. Met by the Club Mobay team and whisked through customs, security and immigration, you're shown to a comfortable seating area to enjoy a few refreshments as you wait for your transfer. Before you know it, you'll be on your way to the hotel. And for the journey home, the VIP service sees you sail through fast track security and into the comfortable departure lounge. There's complimentary drinks, snacks and Wi-Fi, as well as a separate lounge for families complete with a play area for kids.

Living in the coastal subtropical waters around Sal, lemon sharks are one of the easiest sharks to spot in their natural habitat. After pick-up from your hotel, you'll drive to Shark Bay where your experience will begin. Wade out into the water with a marine biologist and you'll be taught all about this incredible species. Spot their yellow-tinted skin – ideal for camouflage in the sandy shores – and watch them as they go about their business, twisting and turning, and looking for fish just a few feet away. You'll see their fins cutting through the surface of the water and get to know these sharks closer than you could imagine.

Rum, waterfalls and floating bars – this excursion has 100% Jamaica stamped all over it. Kick off at the Appleton Estate for a tour of the factory and a taste of the finest rums in Jamaica. On to the cascading waters of the YS Falls, you'll cool off in the refreshing waterfall pools with a swim. After lunch, we board a boat and glide out to the Pelican Bar. This ramshackle hut on stilts has to be seen to be believed. Standing on glittering waters, it's probably the coolest bar in the world. Don't forget to carve your name into the wood and if you have a flag handy, bring it out to barman Floyd. With luck, you might spot dolphins too.

Cape Verde is a hotspot for whale activity during March and April, being one of just two breeding sites in the north Atlantic. And this half-day cruise takes you into the waters around the island to spot these majestic creatures in their natural habitat – all with the help of an on-board marine biologist. Humpback whales come up for air for minutes at a time, before raising their enormous dorsal fins out of the water as they dive back down to the depths. If you're really lucky, you might see one launch themselves into the air, before crashing back onto the surface with an almighty splash.

Caring for elephants is one of life's must-do experiences – so this trip is a big tick on the bucket list. The morning begins with great views over the Andaman Sea as you pass through Khao Lak National Park towards The Seaside Retreat - Thailand's premier elephant sanctuary. Learning all about the project's conservation efforts, you'll help to feed, bathe and care for these gentle giants and even get to play in the river with them too. The sanctuary enforces the highest ethical standards and invites only four small-group visits per day. After a moving experience, you'll round off with a tasty Thai lunch to reflect on your day.

The west coast of Boa Vista usually provides stunning sunsets across the South Atlantic. Take one in with your special someone over a delicious dinner, followed by some live drumming and funky tunes on the beach. You'll be whisked off to the island-renowned Morabeza Beach Club well before the sun begins its descent over the water. As the light dims, a bonfire is lit and African drummers start to provide a soundtrack of infectious beats. Then it's time to sit down and enjoy a delicious buffet dinner, plus a drink to wash it all down.

Hold on tight, you're in for an action-packed day out at Siam Park. It's the top waterpark in the world for TripAdvisor users – for the fifth year running – and it's bursting with adrenaline-pumping rides and beaches set against an exotic Thai backdrop. You'll have over 30 attractions to choose from, so there's something for every member of the family, whether you fancy chilling out or launching yourself into the pulse-racing rides. Hold your breath as you hurtle down the near-vertical Tower of Power. Defy gravity as you raft through the jaws of The Dragon into a fast-spinning cone.

Tenerife's greatest natural wonder, Mt Teide is Spain's highest peak. Avoiding the busiest times of the day, this expertly guided tour explores its wild volcanic habitats and offers unbeatable views over Tenerife and the rest of the Canaries. The 3,718-metre peak is the centrepiece of its own National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park's trails have you pass through four different climate zones. And there'll be plenty of free time for you to go up to the summit by cable car – ask your TUI Rep for more info. A visit to the Roques de Garcia rock formation rounds off the trip.

The desolate beauty of inland Sal is in stark contrast to the white sands of its coast. After a stop at Murdeira Bay, you'll trundle off-road to Palmeira on the west coast. Its palm-lined streets are dotted with mural-painted cafés and tiny shops. Then it's on to the Buracona lagoon. Next, witness the ocean-like sands of Terra Boa before enjoying an elevated view of Espargos, the capital. Wind down with a natural spa treatment – by floating in the salty waters of Pedra de Lume.
