Best Things to Do in Atlantic Ocean

Iconic Attractions & Hidden Gem Travel Experiences

Atlantic Ocean

The world’s second largest ocean after the Pacific, the Atlantic Ocean covers a fifth of the earth’s surface and is divided into two sections by the Equator. With the North Atlantic separating North America from Europe and the South Atlantic separating South America from Africa, the ocean borders dozens of countries that display enormous cultural diversity and just about every type of climate. While most travelers cross it by air, you can take transatlantic ship voyages and visit some islands along the way.

An Atlantic tour offers a diverse array of experiences at each stop. From retracing ancestral roots in historic ports to exploring remote islands and Arctic landscapes, there's something for everyone on Atlantic Ocean tours.

  • Retracing your European, African, or Latino heritage in widely scattered Atlantic ports
  • Visiting maritime museums that offer views of the rich history of Atlantic Ocean fisheries, commerce, and travel
  • Touring the island of Bermuda, with its pink sand beaches, luxury yachts, and scenic water views at every turn of its winding roads
  • Stopping at the tropical islands off the west coast of Africa — the Canaries, Madeira, Cape Verde — en route to Europe or Africa 
  • Exploring the Azores, the Portuguese island way-stations in the middle of the Atlantic  
  • Taking a small ship roundtrip cruise from New York City or Boston up the coast to the Canadian Maritime provinces
  • Doing some island-hopping in remote ports — Ascension, St. Helena, Tristan da Cunha — aboard an expedition-style ship in the far South Atlantic

  • Embarking on a culinary journey, savoring the flavors of Atlantic cuisine in charming coastal towns and seaside villages

Morocco big tour by Morocco Private Expert
In April of 2018 we enjoyed the Big Tour of Morocco.
My husband, another couple, and I hired Noura Kassimi to be our guide for eleven days in Morocco in April of 2018. We had an incredible trip! Noura is an accomplished guide and has excellent English. She showed us as many of the important sites in Morocco as possible in eleven days. Noura educated us well about the culture, religion, politics and health care systems. We learned so much on this trip!

Noura met us at the airbnb where we were staying. Along with her driver and very comfortable van, Noura kept us entertained and comfortable. She was always patient and understanding of our needs, even when that included trying to find a pharmacy open on a Saturday as one of us was unwell. She helped us to feel safe and free of worries. Noura gave us great recommendations for comfortable housing and good restaurants.

Prior to our tour, we had read a statement where a reviewer had written they "felt they had a PhD. in Moroccan culture, religion, and life" following their tour with Noura. We felt the same! We highly recommend Noura Kassimi and a trip to Morocco. It is a country full of welcoming, cordial people and interesting sites.

Wonderful Morocco shown by a wonderful guide
Noura is an exceptional person and a wonderful, wonderful guide to her country. Thanks to her I had unique experiences like seeing a school classroom, an animal shelter, cooking class and so very much more, I recommend her services to anyone traveling in Morocco.

Marrakech is Memorable - Noura made it Unforgettable!
What a privilege it was for my family and me to experience Marrakech with Noura as our guide. She developed and coordinated a thoughtful itinerary for our 6 day visit, and then adapted throughout the week as we rearranged our plans. Throughout our time together, she provided informative background on the history of the sites we visited. It was a perfect combination of planned at activities and "go with the flow" spontaneity -- the essence of what a discovery vacation is about.

Porto to Lisbon Atlantic Ride by Exodus Travels
Porto to Lisbon 22/9
We had an excellent cycling holiday with great leaders and a very sociable
group of fellow travellers.
Our favourite aspects of the trip were:
• Good cycling with relaxing stops at many cafes to enjoy coffee and
pasteis de nata
• Comfortable hotels
• Great choice of restaurants with excellent fish
• Very friendly locals wherever we went
• Spectacular coastline, especially the huge waves at Nazaré
• Great weather (if maybe a little too hot!)


Our guide was João (JP) and assistant guide was Oscar. We can’t compliment
them highly enough for the tireless work that they put in to make sure
everyone had a great time. They coped with all adversities thrown at them,
including making sure everyone stayed hydrated in very hot weather, rescuing
people with punctures, coping with a broken down ferry, travellers who
couldn’t decide what they wanted to do (!), all with smiles on their faces.


We really enjoyed having an extra night in Porto, which allowed us to see
more of the city. Don’t underestimate the undulations, there are some!

Porto to Lisbon Atlantic Ride by Exodus Travels
Scenic and peaceful with wonderful food
Great ride. Most is on mostly flat, well maintained, paved bike paths, with
little riding on roads. Going in late October meant that when we were on
roads they were almost traffic-free and the lovely coastal villages and
beaches en route were tourist-free. This summer Portugal experienced many
forest fires and a day of cycling through charred forests was unavoidable. It
was interesting to see, first-hand, the unfortunate devastation that we had
all read about in the news. Regeneration will begin quickly, I'm sure.
Marco was an excellent guide and we were fortunate to learn a lot as a result
of his excellent knowledge of the history of Portugal. The picnic lunches
were a highlight, the group was great and I had a wonderful holiday.
The beautiful sea views.


Good guide that spent a lot of time each night assessing the route and
alternative options given the local fire situation. On one day, a fire was
still burning on the route and he arranged a train ride to Coimbra for a day
walking the town and transportation to the next day's destination.. An
unanticipated obstacle in the tour but handled well. He also arranged
wonderful places for dinners each nice with good variety to experience the
local dishes.


Easy ride and rated a 2 probably due to an off-road climb one day which is
walkable if necessary and undulating terrain on the last day. It may be too
relaxing a holiday for eager riders, but allows you to enjoy the countryside
and chat your fellow cyclists.

Porto to Lisbon bike tour October 2019
It was a great tour along Atlantic coast with good weather, many good views,
excellent guide and driver and great&fun group.
The day we arrived in Nazarè with beautiful views of the ocean and of the
beaches.


Ruben (our guide) was great. Always smiling and having a good word for every
person of the group. He supported the all group very efficiently and in a
friendly/professional manner.


Some bike training is recommended before to start the tour due to some hilly
parts and eventually rent an e-bike to have full fun.


I would like to mention Tiago (our driver) for taking care of all the
logistics and food along the all week in a very professional and friendly
manner.
