Day 03 - Feb 23, 2025 ~ Man-O-War Bay, Tobago from 8am till 5pm (B/L/D)
Listen for the sound of a conch announcing the return of the fishing boats. Bobbing next to us are flotillas of pelicans – hinting at the excellent snorkeling waiting for you here and in neighboring Pirate’s Bay.
Day 04 - Feb 24, 2025 ~ Mayreau, Grenadines Island from 8am till 6pm (B/L/D)
With fewer than 300 inhabitants and miles of secluded beaches, it's easy to feel as if you're on your own private island. Saline Bay is a delightful anchorage that separates the Caribbean from the Atlantic - and a perfect place to play with some of the toys from the Watersports Platform.
Day 05 - Feb 25, 2025 ~ Soufriere, St. Lucia from 8am till 4pm (B/L/D)
Nestled in the shadows of the UNESCO Pitons, Soufriere represents the heart and soul of St. Lucia.

Sights to see include the Edmund Rainforest Trail, fond Doux Holiday plantation, Robot Estate and the Gros Piton Nature Trail.

Day 07 - Feb 27, 2025 ~ Kralendijk, Bonaire from 8am till 10pm (B/L/D)
The ice cream colors of the stucco houses will draw your lens, as will the pink flamingos on the salt pans. But you’ll need a waterproof camera to complete the portrait since more than 400 fish species and 50 types of coral wait beneath the surface.
Day 08 - Feb 28, 2025 ~ Willemstra, Curacao from 8am till 6pm (B/L/D)
As Willemstad grew in the 1800s, this district became the less desirable area full of small homes on tiny streets. Fortunes started to change in 1888, when the Queen Emma Bridge opened and wealthy traders began building grand, Colonial homes.
Day 09 - Mar 01, 2025 ~ Oranjestad, Aruba from 6am till 6pm (B/L/D)

The Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is surrounded by 400-year-old walls and contains a plethora of churches, fortresses, and restored colonial mansions. Outside the walls are more treasures: Climb the massive Castillo de San Felipe to investigate its maze of hidden tunnels, or shop for the perfect emerald.

Bocas del Toro on Bastimentos island was visited by Columbus in 1502 and then built up with colorful and Caribbean-style clapboard houses by the United Fruit Company in the early 20th century. Situated on the beautiful Bocas del Toro archipelago, the laid-back and friendly community is a great combination of races and ethnicities living harmoniously. West Indians, Latinos and Extraneros (the resident gringos) make this an easy place to feel right at home and embrace the relaxed Caribbean vibe of the town. Not far from town is the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, as well as two national parks, La Amistad and many banana plantations.
