The Islands

The Caribbean chain of islands can be split into the Windward and Leeward Islands. South of Dominica are the Windwards which embrace the warm easterly trade winds. They are more mountainous and vary greatly in size. Both trips will transit through and visit the Windward Islands visiting idyllic archipelagos such as Tobago Cays.

The Leeward islands round away from the Atlantic to the northwest. Some of these islands are mountainous like the Windward Islands however many are flatter and there are many beaches to enjoy. Antigua, a Caribbean hub of yachting and a destination on the latter trip, is included in the Leeward Islands.

Which Islands you visit on your trip will depend precisely on weather an timings but you can expect to visit a new island almost every day!
