Enjoy picturesque strolls and shop in the open-air market of Port Elizabeth, swim in the crystal-clear lagoon of Tobago Cay National Park and visit the hilltop community of Mayreau Island, welcoming much in the way of off-the-beaten-track seclusion, for the most relaxing of stops. While in St. Lucia, experience the wonder of Soufrière’s natural hot springs, botanical gardens and waterfalls, and try the delicious, sweet treats of Terre-de-Haut in Guadeloupe.
Highlights
Visit the hilltop community of Mayreau Island
Enjoy picturesque strolls and shop in the open-air market of Port Elizabeth
Swim in the crystal-clear lagoon of Tobago Cay National Park
Discover a few remnants of Martinique’s colonial history
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Your luxurious yacht cruise begins in St. John’s, where you are transferred to your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht and embark on your discovery of the Eastern Caribbean and the Grenadines.
Please book your flight to arrive in St. John's prior to 2:00 PM.
Home to around 5,000 people, the village of Saint-Pierre was once almost wiped off the map in less than two minutes during an eruption of the Mount Pelée volcano in 1902. In more recent years, Saint-Pierre (also known as ‘Little Paris’) has been named as the 101st ‘City of Art and History’. A visit to Saint-Pierre will allow you to discover a few remnants of Martinique’s colonial history: the old theatre, the ruins of the island’s fort and the dungeon of Cyparis, as well as the wonderful site it is today, facing a gorgeous bay and leaning in the foothills of Mount Pelée.
Day 3: Bequia Island | Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
The second largest in the Grenadines Island chain, and Bequia's main port, is Port Elizabeth. It is a tranquil and quiet destination built along a picturesque little bay with forested hills behind. The most popular sights in town are the open-air market, which gives a very 18th-century feel, as well as the Belmont Walkway known for the town’s best shops and restaurants along Admiralty Bay.
Day 4: Tobago Cays | Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
The Tobago Cays are an archipelago located in the southern Grenadines, famous for five small uninhabited islands: Petit Rameau, Petit Bateau, Baradal, Petit Tobac and Jamesby. The main attraction here is the Tobago Cays Marine Park, a national park and wildlife reserve. Renowned for its massive 1,400-acre lagoon, the park is surrounded by the vivid horseshoe-shaped reef. This is an idyllic area to enjoy sand-bottomed and crystal-clear waters teeming with colorful fish and turtles.
Opportunity to spend the day swimming off the yacht and enjoying the marina toys.
Day 5: Mayreau Island | Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Mayreau is the smallest of the Grenadines’ uninhabited islands, with a surface area of only 4 square kilometers (1.5 square miles). The population of Mayreau is no more than 250 people who live in the village on the island’s highest hill, Station Hill. The charming little church and community center at the top of the hill provide spectacular views over the islands. On a clear day, one can see both Grenada and St. Vincent, as well as the nearby islands, showcasing the pretty colors of the reefs and waters around the Tobago Cays. Today, enjoy a barbeque on shore together with your fellow travelers.
Soufrière was the original capital of Saint Lucia and is one of the island’s most memorable spots. The town has kept the spirit of the French colonialists who first settled there but were later followed by the British. Soufrière is situated in the Qualibou Depression, the crater of a dormant volcano, so one can enjoy hot springs and geothermal fields, as well as botanical gardens and waterfalls all in the same area. Later, visit the Glittering Beach, where you can indulge in the warm sunshine from your lounger or take a refreshing swim in the azure Caribbean waters.
Day 7: Terre-de-Haut | Iles des Saintes, Guadeloupe
A visit to Terre-de-Haut is like taking a trip to the South of France – with the addition of just a few more palm trees and white-sand beaches. Situated off the beaten path, Les Saintes’ eight peaceful tropical islands are part of a volcanic archipelago fully encircled by shallow reefs. The history and culture of the Îles des Saintes are to be discovered in Fort Napoléon, where one can also get to know the local flora and fauna at the botanical gardens. Don’t miss the chance to try the island’s signature dish, le tourment d’amour, a small tart with coconut jam and covered in sponge cake.
Day 8: St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda | Embark

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.

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
