#JOM! GO: Hidden wonders of the world

THE seven wonders of the world have been explored time and time again, and it's time to seek different adventures.

British luxury cruise agency Panache Cruises have redefined the seven wonders of the world and named secluded yet majestic locations for those wanting to make those once-in-a-lifetime memories.

From the enchanted islands of Galapagos to the high Canadian Arctic, the newly proposed seven wonders have been chosen to attract people looking for adventures away from well-trodden tourist routes.

Founder and managing director James Cole says: "There are lots of hidden gem destinations across the globe that are less popular than tourist hotspots, but still extraordinarily magnificent and perfect for those seeking life experiences like no other.

"Rather than going abroad and going to the same locations as everyone else, taking the same pictures with the same monuments, you can experience once-in-a-lifetime destinations and explore these off-the-grid locations."

Panache Cruises' seven hidden wonders of the world are:

BOHOL, THE PHILIPPINES

Bohol island is the 10th largest in the Philippines and is surrounded by smaller islands, making this location a good destination for island hopping across the gorgeous blue sea to see more beautiful landscapes.

The most unique site on Bohol is the almost 2,000 symmetrical, perfectly conical-shaped hills.

These Chocolate Hills are a natural phenomenon caused by rainwater erosion.

Alongside the scenery, visitors can also admire the coral reef, ancient churches and traditional Filipino culture.

GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

Galapagos Islands are a series of volcanic groups of islands in the Pacific Ocean.

A massive 95 per cent of the land is part of a protected national park, and the islands host wildlife, animals and plants that only grow and live there.

As the island chain is close to the equator, it is warm all-year round, making island hopping a great activity.

With stunning blue waters, the Galapagos islands are a unique exploring experience for nature lovers looking for tranquillity.

CANADIAN HIGH ARCTIC

The lands of the Canadian High Arctic are home to a large Inuit population who hold a strong cultural presence in the area, and who continue to practise their traditional dances and crafts within the modern settlements.

Canada has more land in the Arctic compared to any other country and visitors can see the grand fjords which sweep the area, as well as the striking mountains and glaciers.

Visitors can travel by boat through the waterways between the sea ice and islands whilst admiring the impressive snowy landscape which stretches out for miles upon miles.

EASTER ISLAND

Thriving in Polynesian culture, Easter Island is packed full of history. Almost 1000 monumental statues, carved into rock as human figures (known as 'moai') cover the ancient island and stand up to 10 metres tall.

There are thousands of rock carvings found all over Easter Island, as well as caves and incredible sweeping views.

Although it's one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world, Easter Island is a perfect destination for history lovers looking for some escapism.

MARETTIMO, ITALY

Whitewashed homes line this beautiful island settled in the Mediterranean sea. Marettimo island can only be reached by boat, so is the great spot for those seeking a more off the grid destination.

No cars are allowed on the island making Marettimo perfect for some tranquillity and peacefulness.

With less than 1000 inhabitants, Marettimo is also full of hundreds of indigenous and rare plant varieties scattered across the beautiful island. Visitors can swim in the crystal blue waters and admire the stunning landscape.

TSINGY de BEMARAHA NATIONAL PARK, MADAGASCAR

The Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar is scattered with sweeping canyons and massive amounts of natural beauty.

There are hundreds of massive limestone stones with jagged peaks giving the National Park its wonderfully unusual landscape.

This labyrinth of spiky looking rock formations is a beautiful spot for those looking to admire distinctive scenery. The National Park also has 11 species of lemur with lots of hiking paths for tourists to explore.

MONTSERRAT, CARIBBEAN

Montserrat island in the Caribbean is mostly known for its disastrous volcanic eruptions as a result of the Soufrière Hills volcano becoming active again in 1995.

But this should not discourage tourists from visiting the beautiful island - there are breathtaking views all over Montserrat.

Thrill seekers can visit the summit of the volcano to admire the vastly breathtaking landscape from a safe vantage point.

History lovers can look round the deserted town of Plymouth - a unique spot to see abandoned belongings and buildings from the late 90s following the volcanic destruction.
