saarihyppely


Definition from own experience or research:
Saarihyppely on matka, jossa vieraillaan yhden alueen useilla saarilla.

Example sentence(s):
  • Karibian saarihyppely: Kierrämme uutuusmatkallamme kuusi Karibianmeren itsenäistä saarivaltiota. Siirrymme saarelta toiselle vaivattomasti lyhyillä lennoilla. - Travel agency Aventura  
  • Rakastatko rantoja ja merta, antiikin henkeä ja kiireettömiä kyliä? Suuntaa silloin saarihyppelylle Kreikan kauniiseen saaristoon! - Travel agency Rantapallo  

Explanation:
Melkoisen suora käännös ja hieman kömpelön kuuloinen, mutta suomalaiset matkatoimistot näyttävät käyttävän jo vakiintuneesti.
