Philipsburg serves as the capital of Sint Maarten, which is the Dutch name for the Caribbean island of Saint Martin. Beachfront bars flank the promenade that runs alongside Great Bay. Front Street, also known as Voorstraat, is home to casinos and duty-free businesses. The St. Maarten Zoo includes a playground, parrots, and monkeys. The Arawak artifacts are on display at the Sint Maarten Museum. The ruins of Fort Amsterdam from the 17th century are located on a nearby peninsula.
St Barthélemy, affectionately known as St Barths by most, had already had many "owners" before the Lesser Antilles were acquired by France in 1877. When the first estate was acquired by the banker David Rockefeller in 1957, the island's future was finally sealed. It became a refuge for the international jet set and an elegant holiday paradise for many Hollywood stars. For over 40 years, St. Barths has cultivated a luxurious lifestyle with a Caribbean laissez-faire approach. You can stroll through the charming main town of Gustavia, whose beautifully restored houses and colonial facades look out over the sea with its elegant superyachts, browse in the shops for precious items, or enjoy a sundowner in the picturesque harbor surrounded by clusters of high class bars and restaurants.
you can take a delightful stroll along the waterside promenade. Boutiques, cafés, bars, and restaurants invite you to browse and spend some time here. The 'savoir vivre' takes place against a backdrop lit up in all the pastel shades of the Caribbean. Fort Napoleon is set high above the bay and your climb up to it is rewarded by a spectacular panoramic view. On the other side of the island, the Plage de Pompierre invites you to enjoy a dip in the sea and sunbathe on the beach.
A remarkable natural phenomenon known as "the Baths" located on the southern end of the island makes Virgin Gorda one of the BVI's major tourist sites. At the Baths, in spite of evidence of the island's largest volcanic origins, big granite rocks lie in piles on the beach, forming magnificent grottoes that are open to the water. Granite is not volcanic because it is intrusive igneous rock. However, at a significant depth, it did originate from magma. Only until geologic periods of erosion remove the overburden does granite become visible at the Earth's surface. At the surface, weathering has shattered the granite into big boulders and rounded their surfaces. North of the Baths is the Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor, historically owned by Little Dix Bay.

Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, is also one of the oldest cities in the Caribbean. The cathedral, the first building constructed in the New World, is among the structures in its walled and cobblestoned historic center, the Zona Colonial, that date back to the 1500s. On the cafe-lined Plaza de Espaa is where you'll find the Alcázar de Colón palace. One of the city's many museums currently contains a notable collection of Renaissance and medieval art.

A wonderful 9 day tour of beautiful Costa Rica taking in breath taking scenery including the active Arenal Volcano to the stunning beaches of Manuel Antonio.
Adventure Life made a fantastic itinerary for us(we were a group of 4) Would highly reccomend them for getting it right!
Lovely hotels with breakfast included, bespoke trips in mostly private transfers, zip-lining and white water rafting adventures! This really was an amazing trip & one we will cherish forever!

We book a tour to Peru with them in May. Viewing from their website we didn’t realize that they are private tour company but after quoting the price, it seems reasonable for a private tour, let’s see how’s their service after our tour. The process of booking went smoothly except the payment part which need a bit of work. Need to improve better payment method and options.
