Saint Lucia is one of the eight independent islands in the Lesser Antilles. To the north, in Rodmy Bay, we will anchor and use to change Caribbean dollars and pay permission to visit later the Pythons (in the southwest), the authentic icons of the island, two 800-meter peaks that emerge from the sea and that are represented in The country's flag with two triangles. In the village of Soufrière, the base of Petit Piton, the smallest of the twin pinnacles, we will enjoy one of the most spectacular landscapes of the Caribbean.

We will sail to reach the first island of the Grenadines, Bequia, (which belongs to Saint Vicent and the second largest of this paradisiacal archipelago) and after a pleasant navigation, we will anchor in its huge bay and we will enter the country. Halfway we will pass by the beautiful island of Saint Vincent, with its mountains plunging into the sea. Once there, we can swim, dive, go shopping to different shops, meet the peculiar people of the place, make trips with Jeeps or rest with a good nap on the boat, as you wish. Also on this journey, there are many possibilities to see flying fish, dolphins and even whales. Be aware!

The lagoon formed by the wide coral reef is protected allowing you to swim with turtles and watch thousands of exotic fish. If you like to snorkel, this is your moment! This beautiful lagoon surrounds the five small islands of the small archipelago of Tobago Cays and constitutes one of the paradises for the lovers of the sea. It is known as the most beautiful lagoon in the Caribbean, so it is not surprising to see boats around it.

After enjoying a full day of the splendid diversity of the lagoon, we will leave the Tobago Cays to reach the island of Mayreau. We will be anchored in a sheltered bay with a paradisiacal beach facing west. The most intrepid and in good shape can venture up the road uphill that will take them to the top of the mountain from which you can see the entire archipelago of Las Grenadines. On the small island of Mayreau is one of the greatest exponents of the virgin Caribbean. It is possible to border without finding practically no inhabited nucleus since most of its 300 inhabitants live in the town of Old Wall, in the high part of the southwest of the island. You can not miss a stroll through this small village, where in addition to reggae bars and restaurants, there are colorful shops of local rum and a picturesque stone church with the lintels of the doors and windows painted red.

We will have a fun time making photos while sitting next to "the umbrella".



Day 6. UNION ISLAND - PETIT SAINT VINCENT:

In Union Island we will leave the country of the Grenadines, because we will head to Petit Saint Vincent, a beautiful private island where the exclusive "Hide Away" Hotel is located. The resort blends completely with the landscape. This is an essential stop; the lagoon and the postcard beach you will definitely like. Good time to refuel and refill the fresh water tank on the neighboring island of Petite Martinique.



Day 7: PETIT SAINT VINCENT - CARRIACOU:

Carriacaou no longer belongs to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines but belongs to Granada. Here we can take a bus to make excursions or continue exploring beaches that will never cease to amaze us before its impressive paradisiacal beauty.

Granada is an island of the most beautiful and with real postcard beaches, and where we can enjoy a shower in natural waterfalls, so we will go to the bays located in the south as Pirckly Bay or Calivigny Island, and where we can immediately detect that we are in an area with residential constructions of megarricos.
