The Leeward & Windward Isles: A Caribbean Medley

In Brits Barbados is cricket de nationale sport en is afternoon tea vanzelfsprekend, maar het is ook een echte blauwe Cariben, met klassieke zandstranden, heuvels bedekt met suikerriet en wilde vervet-apen in de jungle.

Indulge your senses during a scenic and delicious 10-day Caribbean cruise between the Windward and Leeward islands. Stir up genuine Creole cuisine under the guidance of a local chef and sip fiery rum at a distillery near Anse Mitan on Martinque. Sail on a catamaran and watch for whales or swim with sea turtles in the blue coastal waters off of Guadeloupe. Pedal on a leisurely bike tour of the verdant Rockland Estate Park and meander through a restored colonial plantation near Philipsburg on St. Maarten. Discover Snuba snorkeling near the golden sands of South Friars beach near Basseterre on St. Kitts. Shoot for par amid the manicured tropical ambiance of the Cedar Valley Golf Course near Falmouth Harbour. Take the helm of a 17-foot speed boat and discover views of the Pitons and St. Lucia’s picturesque west coastline prior to mingling among locals in the fishing village of Canaries.

The main center of activity in Falmouth Harbour is on the eastern side of the large horse-shoe bay where the shops, restaurants and marina are located.
