Caribbean Vacation

Whether your idea of the perfect holiday is a leisurely afternoon basking in the sun or an afternoon hiking in a rain forest, a Caribbean vacation offers just the right mix. A Caribbean vacation will carry you away to a tropical paradise to experience the taste of a relaxing, tranquil life. The friendly Caribbean people will welcome you warmly to these magnificent islands surrounded by miles of white sandy beaches. Enjoy the unique sights, smells, sounds and profound peace that will engulf you once you enter the island charm of a Caribbean vacation. If the thought of steel bands and parades with colorful costumes appeals to you then plan to arrive the last week of July for the famous Caribbean Carnival. Carnival is a colorful and exciting event celebrated throughout the Caribbean Region. Each island has its unique method of celebrating Carnival, and varies throughout the islands.

The Caribbean Islands make up part of the hundreds of islands in the Caribbean Sea. The islands are submerged volcanic mountaintops covered with lush, tropical plants and wildlife. If you plan to enjoy hiking on a Caribbean vacation, you will discover a variety of trails in one of the four mountain ranges on the islands. The Northern Range in Trinidad, the Morne Diablotins in central Dominica, the Blue Mountains on Jamaica, and the famous Pitons in St. Lucia are covered with dense, evergreen rain forest containing swiftly flowing clear rivers. Active volcanoes still exist in St. Lucia, Dominica, and St. Vincent.

On a Caribbean vacation, you will enjoy the wonderful tropical climate touched by the prevailing warm trade winds. All the Caribbean Islands abound with a variety of activities such as sailing, diving, fishing, windsurfing, horseback riding, golf, and water-skiing. Museums and Art Galleries dot the islands as well as many fine gourmet restaurants, and fast food establishments serving local cuisine. Pack your bags with sunglasses and sunscreen and add a dose of tranquility to your life with a Caribbean vacation.
