DAY 2
Time is allowed in the morning for your skipper to clear customs so why not have a snorkel in the bay before you set sail.
Afternoon - set sail for Tobago Cays [St Vincent & Grenadines]. |
|
DAY 3
You will arrive in Tobago Cays in the early hours of the morning and spend the rest of the day and night here.
ONDECK ADVENTURE TIP - Tobago Cays is a group of small deserted coral fringed islands and is one of the most beautiful anchorages in the world. As a National Park the snorkeling is wonderful and diving can be arranged given advanced notice as can windsurfing and kite surfing Most of all this is a place to relax away from anything but some fellow yachties and a few vendors selling provisions and the occasional lobster.

0800 - Depart Tobago Cays. 1200 - Arrive in Bequia. Spend the rest of the day and night in Bequia.
ONDECK ADVENTURE TIP - The yacht will anchor in the picturesque Admiralty Bay where pastel coloured boutiques and quiet cozy restaurants line the shore.

DAY 5
0630 - Depart Bequia 1030 - Arrive in Soufriere, St Lucia for the day and night
ONDECK ADVENTURE TIP - We will be anchored in the picturesque village of Soufriere just below the Pitons If you are looking for a breathtaking experience in St Lucia then look no further than the twin 2000 ft high Pitons.
The Pitons are two mountains, Gros Piton and Petite Piton. The Pitons stand tall right in front of the anchorage. Guides will take you on this magical trek into a tropical paradise. The trail is well defined and is suitable for those of average fitness. The vegetation covered slopes of the taller, but less severe Gros Piton has a trail to the summit, accessed through the village of Fond Gens Libre. If all of this volcanic structure hiking is proving too much then just go half way to the Dashene Restaurant and enjoy the views.

Day 6
0800 - Depart St Lucia Late Afternoon - Arrive in Dominica and stay for the next 2 nights
ONDECK ADVENTURE TIP - Our recommendation for adventurous people visiting Dominica is to take a canyoning trip with Extreme Dominica. No experience is necessary as Richard and his trained staff will show you the ropes (literally) before taking you on an unforgettable journey through one of Dominica's beautiful river gorges.
You will be fully equipped with wetsuit, buoyancy jacket, helmet, harness and rappelling device, so all you need to bring is yourself and a sense of fun. Using a rope you will rappel into a stunning canyon and then follow the river for around 3 to 4 hours. Along the way you will encounter crystal clear, deep fresh water pools, stunning rock formations, rapids and cascades and of course beautiful waterfalls. Rappelling down the side of these waterfalls is just amazing and something you will remember for a long time. Highly recommended!
