Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    St. John's

    St. Kitts is on the agenda today. Head to South Friars Bay for some time on the golden sand, then make your way to Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 17th and 18th century military architecture is impressive, and the views from up there are really worth the visit.

It's a quieter side of Dominica, pretty authentic and worth exploring at your own pace.

    Virgin Gorda - Norman Island

    Virgin Gorda is famous for The Baths, where massive granite boulders create natural pools and grottoes that are really something to see. After you spend time exploring that, you'll take a sunset cruise through Sir Francis Drake Channel heading toward Norman Island. The light at that time of day makes for a pretty memorable end to your time in the British Virgin Islands.
