Nevis: Things To Do

The small island nation of Nevis, if you didn’t know, is shaped like a sombrero. A coincidence? I think not. Small but beautiful, most visitors to Nevis are instantly charmed by the island nation’s easy hospitality and locals who are as warm and welcoming as the crystal waters that surround it. Nevis has an easy feel to it, and while many good times are easily found lazing about on its shores, Nevis is known for its abundance of outdoor activities. Nature lovers, adventurers, and beach bums alike flock to the island because the short truth of the matter is that there’s plenty of outdoor excitement in Nevis.

St. Martin and St. Maarten: Two Sides, One Island

To the uninitiated, they might seem like two spellings of the same word, but in reality, the island of St. Martin and St. Maarten is controlled by two entirely different ruling nationalities – the French and Dutch, respectively. To understand how this came about, one must fully embrace the breezy island culture and wallow in the idea of slow island speed.

St. Kitts Music Festival

What goes with sugary beaches, aquarium-blue waters, endless sun, Mai-Tais and palm trees? If you guessed a hammock, I’d have to give it to you, but I was thinking ‘Music.’ And the powers that be on St. Kitts and Nevis read my mind.

Best Islands in the Southern Caribbean

The Caribbean, as far as geologists are concerned, is generally considered a nice and sunny little archipelago comprised of the Greater and Lesser Antilles. What tectonic forces came together to push and pull these little gumdrops of tropical paradise up out of the water we’ll probably never fully understand (or at least this author won’t), but what we do know is that there’s a lot of fun to be had here, and the Caribbean, especially the Southern Caribbean, is a great place to vacation.

One Day in St. Lucia: Things To Do

St. Lucia is the Caribbean island that has it all. Dramatic green cliffs that plummet into the azure ocean, rainforests, warm water, undersea diving, history, culture – you name it. Many tourists opt not to bounce to any other islands once they land upon St. Lucia’s golden shores – such is the lure of paradise. Is it then any wonder that it has been named the “World’s Leading Honeymoon Destination” for five consecutive years?

Visiting the Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago

Many first-timers to the Caribbean think that all there is to do in this little corner of the globe is lie on the beach or sailboat, drinking cocktails and soaking in the sun. And far be it from me to knock-it (I’m your prototypical sun lizard), but with this mentality it’s easy to miss the excitement that lies hidden on each and every island nation. Take, for example, Trinidad and Tobago.

Family Friendly Activities on the British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands are, for many, the quintessential islands of the Caribbean. Not as fast or busy as the neighboring U.S. Islands, the BVI is exotic, multifaceted, and yet serene. The pace of life seems slower here, and with not so much to distract you, a trip to the islands lend themselves perfectly for getaways with or without kids. Thing is, if the whole family is in tow, what to do with the little ones? It can be hard explaining to youngsters the appeal of doing nothing on the beach for hours on end, but rest assured – with a little forethought, there is plenty to do in the British Virgin Islands for the whole family.
