twangster Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 A couple of these destinations have quintessential things to see. Here are a few that come to mind. Tortola - The Baths National Park. Google "Tortola baths" and you'll see why. Martinique - Bring Euros if you plan to do you own thing. It's very French and they are proud of that, it's not your typical Caribbean island with the same old jewelry stores. A short walk off the pier to reach ferries to beautiful local beaches. Learning a few common French words for things like hello and thank you will go a long way. It's like visiting Europe so don't expect a Caribbean island doting on American tourists. Personally I like the fact that it isn't just another Caribbean island. Some people give it a thumbs down because it isn't Americanized while I like it for exactly that reason. St. Lucia - Something involving the Pitons. They aren't terribly exciting but they are often at the top of the St. Lucia tourist checklist. A nice coastal cruise to the Pitons or visiting the mud baths. Barbados - There is no single must do but instead there are several. Visiting the Harrison's Caves is a great and different island experience but if you are a beach or sea person there are beautiful beaches and many catamaran or Jolly Roger type boat excursions. If you are an aviation buff there is a Concorde Museum with the only Concorde on display that you can board and sit in. St. Kitts - Take a ride on one of the only remaining trains in the Caribbean. Way different from the typical beach thing and a way to see parts of the island you normally wouldn't be able to see. There are beaches if that's your thing, or a scenic tour with breathtaking views of both the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean with the island splitting the two.

There are two excursions involving the train. One is just the train ride (Currently $124) and the other is the train followed by a catamaran ride ($179). Has anyone done the catamaran? Is it worthwhile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
