Take a nine-day voyage through the Grenadines aboard the Royal Clipper. Begin an interesting adventure in Bridgetown, Barbados, by visiting towns full of contrasts. Then, make your way to one of the Grenadine islands for a relaxing beach day. Follow the Sendall Tunnel to the Esplanade and ancient Fort George from the horseshoe-shaped Carenage at St. George's. For a breathtaking perspective of Grenada, look no further than George. Scuba diving is excellent on Tobago Cays. St. Vincent's beautiful shoreline calls for a leisurely stroll along the bay. Martinique is a French Caribbean island in the traditional sense. Visit St. Lucia, a verdant island bordered by drooping coconut palms and surrounded by green hills. After that, return to Barbados' Bridgetown.

Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
On the wild and rugged east coast of Barbados, the isolated beaches are the color of sunrise, the red sands having blown all the way across the Atlantic from the Sahara. The easternmost island of the Windwards, and indeed, of the entire Caribbean, reaches out to Africa and the Old World as if not quite part of the New. Bridgetown, Barbados, is an interesting town full of contrasts. George Washington actually slept here! Trafalgar Square reminds the laidback, rum- and fun-loving island's British-influenced heritage includes revered traditions like cricket and high tea.
The aromas of nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla baking in the sun - these are the tropical flavors of Grenada. From the horseshoe-shaped Carenage at St. George's, follow the Sendall Tunnel (hand-built in 1895) to the Esplanade and old Ft. George for a spectacular view of Grenada.
Four small islets, virtually deserted but enormously appealing for those who love underwater exploration, Tobago Cays is a national park where snorkeling is superb.
Day 5: Kingstown, St. Vincent | Admiralty Bay, Bequia
Royal Clipper usually anchors in the lee of ruggedly beautiful Young Island lying just 54 feet off the southern tip of St. Vincent which is just a 10-minute ferry ride away. The natural harbor of Port Elizabeth at Bequia the world. The exquisite waterfront calls for a gentle stroll along the harbor.
Known as one of the most spectacular beaches in the Grenadines, Salt Whistle Bay is simply exquisite. Calm turquoise waters lap a gently shelving powder white sand beach. It's laid back feel makes it popular with the yachting community and their is a choice of few great rustic but friendly bars.
Day 7: Fort de France, Martinique | Beach, Martinique
Martinique is the classic French Caribbean island. Wild and mysterious, yet urbane and sophisticated, it is France with a tropical twist, with something for almost everyone. An irresistible charm of spicy Creole cooking and tempting boutiques in Fort de France.
Day 8: Marigot Bay, St. Lucia | Soufriere, St. Lucia
Marigot Bay, one of the prettiest anchorages in the Caribbean, is surrounded by lush hills and ringed by drooping coconut palms. Our alternate stop, the little Port Town of Soufrière was named after a nearby volcano. Prettier sights are to be seen at Diamond Falls and Mineral Baths. Walk through the gardens and take a dip in the pool under the waterfalls.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
