Caribbean Bucklist
1. Climb a volcano!
Climbing to over 4,000ft, La Soufriere on the island of St Vincent offers a strenuous but satisfying climb. It's best to go with a guide, meaning your transfers are organised and they provide food and drink as well as the local knowledge on routes, wildlife and history. It is also possible to get down into the crater itself, where the wind drops and there is a silent beauty!
2 Go diving in the Cayman Islands!
Slip under the waves and discover a second, gorgeous Caribbean. Vivid corals bloom in an enchanted garden teeming with silver fish and sunbeams highlight the beautiful colours from above. There are 365 dive sites including the wreck of the USS Kittiwake and Bloody Bay Wall where vertical drop offs plunge to 6,000ft.
3. Dance the night away in Cuba!
Cuba is made for dancing - you can hear music wherever you go - from an open window, a passing 1950's car, or buskers strumming on the beach. Salsa, bolero, jazz, rumba, chachacha - the mood can be soulful or vibrant, but the people are very friendly and will happily let you join in!
4. Sail away in the British Virgin Islands
With calm waters, reliable winds, sheltered bays and over 50 small islands, the BVI's are the perfect natural arena for a sailing holiday. From barefoot yachts to luxury crewed charters, there is an option for everyone.
5. Drink rum in Barbados!
There are at least 1,500 rum shops in Barbados - have a drink in one to tune into the Caribbean's easy-going vibe! Brightly painted, by day they act as a combined bar, convenience store and community centre. By night, jam with the locals and watch the others dance to soca and calypso music!
