  What you'll see depends on where you sail, but it's often amazing. In the Galapagos, keep your eyes peeled for blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas, giant tortoises, and Galapagos penguins. If you're sailing the Maldives, you'll get to see colorful coral reefs full of tropical fish, plus manta rays and sea turtles.

  The Galapagos Islands in Ecuador are a big favorite - you'll sail between islands like Santa Cruz, Isabela, and Fernandina on nice yachts. The Maldives is another great choice, where you can cruise through beautiful atolls on traditional dhonis. Many people also love sailing Thailand's Andaman Sea, visiting Phuket and Koh Phi Phi. The Galapagos gets especially good reviews from TourRadar travelers for its wildlife, with one person saying "the Yolita Yacht was fabulous especially for snorkeling, wildlife watching and island visits."

• When is the best time to take a 7-day sailing tour in the Mediterranean?

  May through September is ideal for Mediterranean sailing, with temperatures between 75-85°F (24-29°C) and calm seas. July and August have the warmest water and steadiest winds, but they're also the busiest and priciest months. June and September are great alternatives - the weather's nice at about 77°F (25°C), there are fewer tourists, and prices are lower. Most tours run between May and September, and Croatian trips are especially popular in July and September.
