THINGS ON OUR LIST:
  • Old San Juan
  • San Juan National Historic Site
  • Arecibo Observatory
  • Rio Camuy Caves Park

Due to its rich landscape, San Juan has made a name for itself, ranking as one of the top vacation destinations in the Caribbean. San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, houses some of the world's most beautiful waters, reefs, resorts, and so much more.

Barbados

Due to its past, Barbados has become a place like no other in the world. There is no denying that it looks like an island with its white sanded beaches and bright blue waters; however, there are underlying cultural influences that come from British that make this place so special. Barbados, also known as "Little England," has become a popular vacation destination because of its unique mix of cultures.

St. Lucia

THINGS ON OUR LIST:
  • Pitons
  • Rodney Bay


Located in the eastern portion of the Caribbean Sea, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, is the island nation of St. Lucia. Couple its natural beauty with a culture that is heavily influenced from the French and you have the recipe for one remarkable vacation destination. St. Lucia offers you the ideal opportunity to experience a wealth of marine and wildlife, take in some absolutely breathtaking sights, and expose your adventurous side.

St. Kitts

Located in the West Indies, St. Kitts has developed into a great vacation destination. St. Kitts, also commonly known as Saint Christopher Island, has a rich history deeply shaped by both the French and the British. St. Kitts offers a variety of tropical activities and historical experiences.

THINGS ON OUR LIST:
  • Sky Ride to Paradise Point
  • Magen's Bay


Located in the Caribbean Sea is the island of St. Thomas that is part of the USVI, better known as the United States Virgin Islands. 
St. Thomas is known mostly for its pristine waters, white-sanded beaches, and fantastic shops. 
St. Thomas is a mountainous island with one long ridge of hills running east and west through the center of the island, with smaller ridges branching off. The island is thirteen miles long by four miles wide, encompassing a little over 31 square miles. The highest point is Crown Mountain at 1,556 feet.
St. Thomas has a history that dates back to 1500 B.C. and the Ciboney people. They were replaced by the Arawaks and then the Caribes, long before Christopher Columbus first saw the island in 1493 on his second voyage to the “New World.” 
Unfortunately, almost all signs of the pre-Columbus days have been lost to time.

St. Maarten

Where the beaches are clothing optional!

THINGS ON OUR TO DO LIST:


  • Maho Beach

About 300 kilometers east of Puerto Rico in the northeast part of the Caribbean lies St. Maarten. A constituency country controlled by the Dutch, St. Maarten, occupies the southern half of an island whose northern half, St. Martin, is controlled by the French. With its European influences, evident in the architectural style of its buildings, St. Maarten is just begging to be explored from the land and sea.
