ANGUILLA Remains a British colony. With some of the finest coral sand in the caribbean,
this relatively unknown island is easy going.
ANTIGUA an Introduction
Independent since 1981, Antigua and Barbuda (Antigua 's sister island to the north) have between them
about170 square miles and 66,000 inhabitants. The chief industry is tourism, which has replaced the production
of sugar in the top spot (though sugar production continues).
There is no extreme rainy season, and temperatures hover around the 80s most of the year. What it does have
is magnificent beaches (reputedly, 365 of them), and excellent, quality hotels located directly on those beaches,
as well as a great deal of sailing activity from its well-maintained marinas and yacht slips. Very good for Weddings
ARUBA Safely situated outside the usually known islands.
18 miles north of Venezuela, Aruba boasts year-round sunny skies, cooling trade winds, and beaches that rank
with the best in the world
ARUBA WEDDINGS
St. Maarten/St Martin Shared by the French and the Dutch - If you want to Marry here you have
to be 'Resident' for 10 days...
St. Martin is considered by many to be the sailing capital of the Caribbean. (But don't tell that to an Antiguan.)
BAHAMAS Not the first place you would think of getting married...
These islands were developed with Holidays in mind, but their natural beauty is irrefutable too.
To escape the tourist scene on Grand Bahama, visit the vast pine forests and the world's longest underwater
cave system in Lucayan National Park; in Nassau, even the biggest culture fan can appreciate
the historic downtown area and bargain for hand-woven mats, hats, and baskets at the world's largest

BARBADOS Barbados is steeped in history and visitors can discover the history and culture of the island with
the Barbados National Trust and conducted tours to historic sites such as Sunbury Plantation and
a visit to the Barbados Museum. Not to mention sun sea & floating nightclubs! Virgin Barbados?
BERMUDA is small, select, and manicured with its homes with white roofs, green lawns and flowers.
There is the feeling of prosperity, and a controlled atmosphere--reflected not simply in the tight lid on further hotel
construction, but in the prohibition of any further immigration (other than by very wealthy people).
It comes as close to being a "paradise on earth" as any island in the world. Reality can seem far behind.
(B.V.I.) VIRGIN ISLES US & UK holiday to the Virgin isles
Most people travel to St. John to bask in the luxury of five-star resorts, dine in expensive restaurants and get seen
at shiny bars with ocean views . But to those searching for a more authentic experience, the swankiest of the three
US Virgin Islands also reveals an exciting glimpse of Caribbean life that sparkles with West Indian flavours,
aromas and rhythms. Honeymoon & Wedding destination Holidays in the Caribbean BVI CRUISE Caribbean

great and popular way to see Cancun from the sea and also to visit the
surrounding islands, including Isla Mujeres. Some pleasure boats have glass bottomed hulls and travel
slowly over the shallow caribbean reefs. Swimming with Dolphins in Cancun Mexico
You can swim with the Dolphins on Isla Mujeres.
CAYMAN ISLES Nestled in the calm, turquoise waters of the western Caribbean,
lies the peaceful British Overseas Territory known as the Cayman Islands.
A holiday in the CAYMAN ISLANDS - One of the Caribbean's most popular dive destinations thanks to terrific
underwater visibility, extensive reefs and plenty of colourful marine life. A great place to make those first forays
into the ocean realm, whilst more experienced divers will find enough options for boat and shore diving to keep
them submerged to their heart's content.
The wall diving is superb and Stingray City shouldn't be missed, providing thrills for everyone from snorkellers
to the most hardened aficionado. For anyone wishing to take their dive skills further, the Caymans are very strong
on tech and speciality courses - For non-divers there are some fabulous beaches and walks, and deep sea fishing
is popular. Nature lovers can spot iguanas, orchids and native parrots
COSTA RICA Increasing in popularity this caribbean region destination has been aware of the value
of environmental
protection for sometime, so this region has a lot to offer from diving, tours or just taking in the scenary
Property can still be found at reasonable prices but the best way is to be a visitor and enjoy all that Costa Rica
has to offer from dawn until dusk (& later!)
Lasca Airlines has good direct flights from the surrounding area
and beyond.
DOMINICA Guadeloupe & Martinique holidays in the Caribbean Blue-headed hummingbird , ringed kingfisher
with a rust coloured stomach and a peacock spreading its magnificent span of blue, green, turquoise and brown
feathers. Then the butterflies, a sweep of deep blues, oranges and yellows.The backdrop of plant life -
from white and pink orchids to heliconias, begonias, elephant ears and jade vine, with its extraordinary
aquamarine flowers - a spectacle all its own - come to Dominica for this. With more than half of its 289.5-square-mile
surface covered by rain forest - including the lush 22,000-acre Northern Forest Preserve, 17,000-acre
Morne Trois Pitons National Park, and more than 350 rivers and streams - this Caribbean island offers a view
into the natural bounty of the tropics. Tropical Weddings
GRENADA , calling itself the "Spice Island of the Caribbean" in the tourist brochures. And the slogan is true to this day,
with the island's large output of nutmeg, cloves, mace, ginger, and of course cinnamon. In fact, there's a nutmeg
plant on the island nation's flag.This 133 square-mile isle is also known for, you guessed it, tourism.
But the great thing about English - speaking Grenada is that tourism here means low-key boutique hotels -
a far cry from the mega-resorts and all-inclusive's found in other parts of the Caribbean.
So if you're looking for character and quietness, & the old adage - Leave only footprints' is really true here in this -
the spice island of your dreams.
GRENDINES
St. Vincent & the Grenadines is one of those all too rare, virtually undiscovered dive destinations.
Diving sites abound in the turquoise waters surrounding these volcanic islands. Abundant reef-life, normally found at
80-ft in most dive destinations around the world, flourishes here at depths of only 25-ft, with an extraordinary variety
of tropical reef fish such as angelfish, sargeant majors and peacock flounder.
The shallow-water reefs surrounding almost every island make snorkeling and swimming an exciting adventure.
The diving ranges from the gentle, even lazy, to the exhilarating, and efforts are always made to ensure that you
never dive the same dive site twice. St. Vincent, home to a volcano and a rainforest, boasts an almost infinite selection
of wall diving sites, and the underwater scenery, complete with pristine corals, will take your breath away.
JAMAICA: Away from the beach, there is an entire world waiting to be discovered. Jamaica’s past is rich with legends
alive in countless great houses, churches, forts and old homes…Book a villa owned by the rich and famous ...with TLC
JAMAICA -Hot! This is one off the largest islands in the caribbean & needs your support the people are friendly
& the island of surprising beauty much more green than you would think and really friendly.
Safe as most places in the world and safer than many cities in the world!
Lying just off the coast of South America, this tropical Caribbean island has a colourful colonial history and a distinctly
Latin American feel. Blessed with stunning natural beauty, the warmth of her people, palm-fringed shores and secluded
sandy beaches, mean this unique island paradise cannot fail to appeal.
MONTSERRAT Don't forget this British colony island - reachable from Antigua
Discovered by Columbus in 1493 (& the Irish!) After 350 years of dormancy the volcano reminder us how most
of the Caribbean was formed, here's to another 350 years of tranquility. You get an extra site seeing trip here the beauty
& power of Nature. At least support the people by a visit.
You can helicopter out in 20 minutes or take a ferry ride in about 1hour - a little different than your average excursion.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC just a hop from Jamaica this island is said to be the best island for a first Caribbean holiday.
The people are friendly & very adapted to tourism. Prices for food & drink are very reasonable.
PUERTO RICO: Puerto Rico's sunny shores yearning for a day snorkeling in the warm turquoise waters,
an afternoon walking amid 500-year-old buildings or an evening dining in the luscious hip restaurants,
you've chosen the right place. An all-American destination with a spicy infusion of salsa,
Puerto Rico different to other Caribbean holiday Meccas is that it remains largely undeveloped,
except for the coastal region around its capital city, San Juan. The island is edged with some magnificent
beaches featuring coral reefs. freeways connect shantytowns to strips of high-rise beachfront hotels.
St .LUCIA The greenery mixes dense 'Jungle' with sprawling Banana plantations. Leading to idyllic caribbean coves
the busy Castries or beautiful St. Lucia' s Marigot Bay...
a small, lush tropical gem of an island that is still relatively unknown and undeveloped, although it does offer a good
variety of accommodation for tourists, including a few discreet resorts. St.Lucia is in the Eastern Caribbean -
between Martinique and St Vincent, just north of Barbados.St.Lucia's main landmarks are the Piton peaks
St. KITTS The peaceful calm of St. Kitts suggests nothing of the extraordinary history of the island.
For centuries, St. Kitts occupied a critical position in the European struggle for the West Indies,
combining exceptional wealth as sugar colonies with a vital strategic position as gateways to the Caribbean.
TRINIDAD & TOBAGO , LESSER ANTILLES
Divers are flocking to the island of Tobago for the chance to swim with monster manta rays. A dozen or so giant mantas,
6 to 10 feet wide, live in the Batteaux Bay area, some year-round. Divers may have to settle for a sighting
of the creatures, but most will be able to interact with them. The friendly mantas encourage divers to hold on for a ride -
a practice that once earned them the nickname Tobago taxis. Today's more eco-sensitive approach is to merely swim
in their presence. Best times: November to April .
Turks and Caicos island holidays The pristine white beaches, vast coral reefs and crystal clear warm waters
that surround this set of eight inhabited islands and numerous deserted cays draw honeymooners,
divers and vacationers. Everyone leaves TCI smiling and de-stressed Grand Turk being the most popular.
