Ok so after the smallest museum in the world on th Ok so after the smallest museum in the world on the island of La Graciosa, here is the smallest hotel in the world to be found on El Hierro! This hotel is also to be found on the Canary Islands and was listed in the Guiness Book of Records. The hotel has only 5 rooms so if you like to book this place, you might want to book well in advance 🙂 Stay tuned on splashpacker.com for a post with travel information about all Canary Islands. #hotelpuntagrande #fronteraelhierro #smallesthotelintheworld #smallesthotel #canarischeeilanden #elhierroisland #kleinhotel #elhierroeiland #reistips #reisbloggers #canaryisland #holacanarias #elhierrocanarias #hotelelhierro

It existed of three parts: information about Columbus, the Aloe Vera plant and... dolphins & wales <3 I did spend some time there 🙂 Stay tuned, tomorrow I´ll share the smallest hotel in the world, also to be found on the Canary Islands 🙂 #museochinijo #smallestmuseum #lagraciosaisland #lagraciosalanzarteo #lagraciosa #canaryislands #splashpacker #chinijo #reisbloggers #canarischeeilanden #lagraciosaeiland #minimuseum
On the Canary Island of ´La Palma´, you can go s On the Canary Island of ´La Palma´, you can go scuba diving at this dive site with the crosses. It might look like a graveyeard, actually the 40 crosses only were sunk in the year 2000, as a memorial to the 40 people who were killed and dropped in the sea by French pirates in 1570. Interesting history dive site, isn´t it? the crosses attract some nice sea life and I have spot a sea horse too there! Working on an article with an overview about what to and see on each Canary Island! Happy Splashpacking! #underwatergraveyard #lapalmadiving #malpique #sunkencross #lapalmacanarias #lapalmaisland #divingcanaryislands #canariasdiving #canariasbuceo #duikencanarias #splashpacker #girlsthatscuba #shedives
At Loboc River on the island of Bohol in the Phili At Loboc River on the island of Bohol in the Philippines, you can go supping at night and see all the fireflies in the trees next to the river. Is a really amazing and magical activity to do! The only danger are the falling coconuts, but to avoid getting hurt you just stay in the middle of the river all the time 🙂 #lobocriver #lobocriverbohol #nightsup #carmenbohol #philippinestravel #boholisland #travelactivities #traveltips #reistips #filippijnen #reisbloggers #splashpacker #boholphilipines #boholph
Well, I did a see a seal above the water at the Ba Well, I did a see a seal above the water at the Ballestas Islands in Peru. And also during kayaking Abel Tasman in New Zealand. More of that to come in Safety Stop book. And that Peru trip is still to be completed one day. Or is it a sea lion? Not sure 😂 Looking at her ears (hole without a flap) I believe it´s a seal. But looking at skin, body and flippers, she looks way more like a sea lion... Still very interested of studying marine biology one day, but for now whoever knows, tell me 🙂 #islasballestas #ballestasislands #seal #zeehondje #perutravel #perureis #safetystopbook #safetystopboek #sealion #zeeleeuw #marinebiologie #marinebiology #ballestaseilanden
