subject: Stunning Caribbean Attractions Well Worth Experiencing [print this page] The mere mention of the Caribbean and some of its fabulous accommodation options, like the famous Cap Maison on St Lucia, is enough to make anyone reach longingly for a holiday brochure. And rightly so there are many delights to look forward to when it comes to Caribbean holidays. Here are just some of the potential experiences you could have when visiting this part of the world on a luxurious holiday.
Dunns River Falls
This is one of the top highlights of the entire Caribbean area. If you visit here during the day you can return to Cap Maison at night with a swag of superb memories. There are many waterfalls to negotiate and the idea is generally for everyone to hold hands as you make your way up the falls! Guides are on hand to ensure everyone stays safe and can concentrate on the spectacular sights unfolding around them.
Swimming alongside sea turtles
Few people ever get the opportunity to swim with sea turtles. But if you visit Barbados during your trip to the Caribbean, you can do just that. You dont need to go far underwater to do this; you simply need to get to grips with snorkelling equipment, which is fairly easy to do. Once youre used to it youll be able to swim comfortably in the shallows with the turtles very close to you. Its an experience you wont easily forget.
Fort San Felipe
Basing yourself at Cap Maison on St Lucia will situate you close to many superb sights, but it is worth exploring the wider region of the Caribbean as well. Fort San Felipe in the Dominican Republic is well worth a look; it is centuries old and offers the opportunity to get some amazing views of the area. It provides an interesting contrast to todays modern scenery.
Visiting Old San Juan
Some of the best highlights accessible from your base at Cap Maison are the historical ones. Old San Juan is a classic example of this and it provides you with plenty of photo opportunities. If you love ancient architecture and bumpy cobbled streets, youll love the area from the moment you arrive. Browse the shops, or pop into a cafe and watch the world go by during your visit. Even if you dont buy anything it is well worth taking a closer look.
As you can see, the Caribbean has plenty to offer in the way of attractions. The more you delve into its promise and beauty, the more destinations and activities you will find to fill your itinerary to this part of the world.
