Vacations are a time to relax, refresh, and reflect. They create coveted moments spent with friends and family, and present opportunities to build memories that will last a lifetime.

Researchers have found that time spent away from work, school, and other responsibilities make us more productive and focused when we return. Not only is there excitement and anticipation leading up to the break, but looking back on pleasant vacation experiences helps us better concentrate on the task at hand, once the party’s over.

With so many new and different options available, there’s no need for a cookie-cutter vacation. Here’s how you can make your next vacation the best one ever:

Keep Your Options Open

Planning is essential to any successful vacation. But too much planning can make breaks feel more like a chore. Rather than trying to create the “perfect vacation,” be open to other experiences and opportunities that arise. Often times, that kind of flexibility is essential.

Despite the nearly year-round sunshine, there are days in Florida that are overcast. Inclement weather is also possible, particularly in the summer months when severe weather such as thunderstorms can crop up with little to no notice.

Luckily, there are many things to do in Cocoa Beach and the surrounding area that are inside. So, if weather or unexpected complications throw a wrench into your plans, you can easily switch to “Plan B” to keep the fun going.

Unplug and Unwind

Electronic devices are part of our daily lives. Many of us have most of our personal information stored in smartphones, on tablets, or other devices. Still, it’s important to make vacations about relaxation and refreshment. You might consider packing only the most essential devices and leaving the rest behind.

In addition, if you’re used to taking photos on your smartphone, it’s possible to disable email and other notifications, so you won’t feel constantly tied to work and home duties.

Fill Your Days

As previously mentioned, there’s no need to let the dreary weather stand in the way of your vacation plans. Many Cocoa Beach attractions are open and accessible rain or shine. The main idea is to maximize your vacation time and fill each day with fun and memories.

That doesn’t mean you always have to be on the go, however. It’s important to make time for leisurely dinners with family and friends, social activities, exercise and mediation, and simply soaking up the Florida sun.

Try Something New

One of the most sure-fire ways to a memorable vacation is to step outside your comfort zone and try something new and exciting. This could be local cuisine, a traditional activity, or something you’ve always wanted to do but haven’t had the courage until now.

When you book a helicopter tour of Cocoa Beach, you’ll be amazed at the spectacular views of the surrounding area and nearby attractions. From the comfort of a spacious seat, you’ll gain a perspective of East Central Florida only seen by air.

Our licensed pilots proudly provide a safe and smooth riding experience. Our aircraft are well-maintained and kept to the highest safety standards. Our knowledgeable staff will provide you with facts and history of the area of which you might not have been previously aware.

Best of all, with a package to meet every budget, you can provide friends and family with an exciting and memorable event that won’t break the bank. Contact us to learn more about the life-changing experience that will add a unique twist to your vacation. Book your Cocoa Beach helicopter tour today.
