8 Days in Caribbean Islands, incl. Barbados and St. Vincent
The enchanting islands of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines unfold over 5 full days, from the bustling Kingstown to the serene Tobago Cays. This multi-island adventure showcases colonial architecture, pristine marine parks, and the distinct character of Bequia, Mayreau, and Union Island.
- Day 1
Bridgetown, Barbados
Plan to arrive in Bridgetown by late afternoon. Book flights that land before 5 PM since immigration can be slow in peak season. The cruise terminal is a 30-minute drive from the airport. Pack your swimsuit in your carry-on because your main luggage might not reach your cabin until evening.
- Day 2
Speightstown, Barbados
Start your day early in Barbados' historic second city. Visit Arlington House Museum when it opens at 9 AM to beat the heat. Take your walking tour around 8 AM before tour groups fill the narrow streets. Make time for Harrison's Cave but bring good shoes. The limestone paths get slippery.
- Day 3
Kingstown, St. Vincent
Watch the sunrise as you sail into Kingstown harbor along St. Vincent's volcanic coast. Visit the Botanical Gardens before 11 AM to avoid cruise crowds. The best snorkeling is in the afternoon when visibility peaks. Head to the northwestern coast for calm, clear waters.
- Day 4
Bequia Island
A 15-minute tender ride takes you to this small, authentic Caribbean gem. Plan for Princess Margaret Beach in early afternoon when the lighting is perfect for photos. "Don't miss the local market by the port—the passion fruit here was the sweetest I've ever tasted, and the vendors love sharing stories about island life," one traveler shared.
- Days 5-6
Mayreau and Union Islands
Experience the peaceful side of the Grenadines. On Mayreau, take an early morning hike to the hilltop Catholic church for island views. The path has no shade so timing matters. At Union Island, try snorkeling at Chatham Bay. Ask the crew about wind conditions first as they can change daily.
- Day 7
Tobago Cays
These uninhabited islands offer incredible snorkeling. Look for turtles in the protected lagoon during morning hours. Bring an underwater camera and wear a rash guard for extended water time. The beach BBQ usually happens on Petit Bateau Cay. Get there early to find a shady spot.
- Day 8
Return to Bridgetown
The ship returns at dawn. If your flight leaves after 2 PM, take a final swim at Carlisle Bay. It's just 10 minutes from port and perfect for your last hours in paradise. Book your airport transfer ahead of time. Taxis are often hard to find when ships depart.
- Day 1
Bridgetown, Barbados
Plan to arrive at Grantley Adams International Airport by 5 PM to allow time for transfer and boarding. The port is a 30-minute taxi ride from the airport. Book your taxi from the official desk inside arrivals (about $25) instead of taking offers outside. Pack essential items in your carry-on since main luggage can be delayed in Bridgetown.
- Day 2
Port St. Charles, Barbados
Take a 2-hour morning sail along Barbados' platinum coast to Port St. Charles. The marina offers calmer waters than Bridgetown, making it perfect for your first swim. Get to the beach early since it fills up with day-trippers after 11 AM. Stop by Mullins Beach Bar for lunch and try their fresh fish.
- Day 3
Kingstown & Bequia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Arrive in Kingstown early morning after overnight sailing. Visit St. George's Cathedral to see the stained glass at its best before 10 AM. Take a 1-hour afternoon sail to Bequia. Sit on the port side for great views as you approach the island. Princess Margaret Beach offers excellent swimming conditions.
- Days 4-5
Bequia to Mayreau
Spend two relaxing days exploring these quiet islands. Take a dollar van to Industry Bay in Bequia, where you'll often find the beach empty. Bring water shoes for Mayreau's rocky beaches. A 20-minute walk up to the Catholic church rewards you with beautiful sunset views over the Tobago Cays.
- Day 6
Union Island
Head to Chatham Bay before 11 AM for the calmest swimming waters. Visit Happy Island, a unique bar built on conch shells, for evening drinks. If you get seasick easily, stay on the Caribbean coast and avoid the choppy Atlantic side.
- Day 7
Tobago Cays
This is the trip's highlight. Get there early to find good anchoring near the turtle sanctuary. Bring an underwater camera to capture the sea turtles you're bound to see. As one sailor said: "The water clarity in Tobago Cays is incredible. We could see straight to the sandy bottom even in 30 feet of water."
- Day 8
Return to Bridgetown
The 5-hour trip back to Barbados means you should book flights after 11 AM to account for weather delays. If you have time to spare, try the flying fish sandwiches at the Waterfront Café near the port.
8 Days in the Grenadines, incl. Carriacou and Bequia
This eight-day sailing voyage takes you through 4 major Grenadine islands, with leisurely 1.5-4 hour sailing segments between destinations. Guests spend seven nights in comfortable double cabins, with abundant time for snorkeling and beach activities.
- Day 1
Carriacou, Grenada
Start your journey at Tyrrel Bay in Carriacou. The protected waters of the bay make it perfect for getting used to life at sea. Space is tight on sailing yachts so pack light and stick to quick-dry clothing. If you're new to sailing, take some motion sickness medication before your first night on board.
- Day 2
Grenada to Carriacou
Set off early for an 8-hour sail along Grenada's west coast. The morning brings calmer waters which makes this longer journey more pleasant. Your first snorkeling stop is Sandy Island where the water visibility is fantastic. Make sure to put on reef-safe sunscreen before getting in the water to protect yourself and the coral.
- Day 3
Union Island
A short 1.5-hour sail takes you to Palm Island and then Union Island. Head to Chatham Bay for excellent snorkeling in crystal-clear waters. The local beach bars have a laid-back island vibe but bring Eastern Caribbean dollars since many don't take cards. Take your morning swim before the afternoon winds get stronger.
- Day 4
Clifton
Take time to walk around Clifton's main town but wear good shoes if you're planning to hike up to the viewpoint. Visit the unique Happy Island at sunset. It's built completely from conch shells and serves some seriously strong rum punch - you might want to stick to just one!
- Day 5
Mayreau and Tobago Cays
Sail 2.5 hours to Mayreau's beautiful beaches before heading to the stunning Tobago Cays. Get there before lunch to find a good spot to anchor since it's a popular destination. You can snorkel with sea turtles in the sanctuary but remember to keep your distance and never touch them.
- Day 6
Bequia
Take a four-hour sail to Bequia, famous for its boat-building tradition. Browse the craft market in Port Elizabeth for souvenirs and visit the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary early to beat the heat. A seasoned sailor shares: "The approach to Admiralty Bay in Bequia can be tricky with strong crosswinds—time your arrival for mid-morning when winds are typically lighter."
- Day 7
Sandy Island
Enjoy a relaxed 4-hour downwind sail to Sandy Island, a picture-perfect white sand paradise. Watch out for strong currents when snorkeling and always go with a buddy. Low tide is ideal for finding shells but leave any living creatures where you find them.
- Day 8
Return to Grenada
Leave by 7 AM for the 6-7 hour journey back to Grenada. The waters can get rough in the channel between islands so make sure everything in your cabin is properly secured.
