Embarking on the Cascade Loop is a fantastic way to experience Washington's diverse landscapes. This 440-mile National Scenic Byway takes you through a variety of terrains, including the lush forests of the Cascade Mountains, the serene waters of the Puget Sound, and the rolling hills of the Methow Valley. Along the way, you'll encounter charming towns, vibrant wildlife, and breathtaking vistas that showcase the state's natural beauty.

Escape from the bustling city and take a boat cruise or visit the Bird Park, Butterfly Farm, Deer Park, Orchid Park and Hibiscus Park. Here you can find a playground for children, running tracks and exercise stations.

Port-Louis is a small and charming fishing village in the north of Grande-Terre, dotted with brightly-colored houses. The area is also home to Plage du Souffleur, one of the most spectacular beaches in the country.

Although Hoi An is perfectly walkable, cycling is an easy way of getting around, if your itinerary extends beyond the Old Town (including An Bang Beach). The Hoi An Old Town is closed off to all motorised traffic (including motorbikes) on most days, between 8.30 and 11.00 and then again 15.00 to 21.30, which means streets can be comfortably navigated by cyclists and pedestrians. Many hotels and guest houses offer bike rental services (or even complimentary bicycle use in some cases), but multiple bike rental shops operate throughout town as well. Prices are normally very reasonable and can be as low as 1 USD per day (depending on the bike). Single-gear bikes will suffice for cycling through town, but mountain bikes are recommended for those who wish to venture into the countryside. While locals will often be seen riding without helmets on, we recommend asking for one at your bike hire provider to ensure safety.
