New Trip & Steals

THE PERFECT PUT-IN If cruising the turquoise waters of Greece in a high-performance kayak for nine days sounds like a dream you want to turn into reality, check out Crossing Latitudes’ new Northern Dodecanese Islands Expedition. Accompanied by a British Canoe Union–certified coach (the best in the biz), you’ll learn technical skills, rescues, and kayak surfing while paddling around islands like Kos and Kalymnos, in the Aegean Sea—with some snorkeling forays thrown in for good measure. Each evening, refuel with fresh calamari, tzatziki, and retsina wine before retiring to a guest house or beach camp near ancient Greek ruins. The expedition costs $2,250 per person and runs September 4 through 12. Contact: 800-572-8747, www.crossinglatitudes.com

Disappearing Act >>
Make like Houdini and vanish to Luba Hati Beach Resort, near Placencia, in southern Belize, to take advantage of the Escape Artist package. Hide away for seven nights in your own Spanish-style beach casita, gorging yourself on grilled lobster tail and venturing out only for snorkeling excursions off Point Placencia, hikes in nearby Maya ruins, and a safari in the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary to try to spot the elusive jaguar. The $1,132-per-person price tag (based on double occupancy, including daily breakfast, four dinners, all activities, and air transfers from Belize City to Placencia) is a 15 percent savings off the normal rate. Available through May 31. Contact: 720-227-0129, www.lubahati.com

For $506 per person (based on double occupancy), from April 4 to 25, you get three nights in one of seven Breckenridge, Colorado, properties (including Park Avenue Lofts and Trail’s End Condominiums), three days of lift tickets, a sleigh tour and dinner at an old mining lodge, and a massage at the Blue Sage Spa.
