The Caribbean has special meaning for Canadians. We are fortunate to have paradise so close at hand. Though many of us have visited a Caribbean island, the best-kept secret of the area is how unique and special each of the islands is. You can’t visit just one and say that you’ve been to the Caribbean. There is so much to explore, from the mountains of St. Lucia, to the dense rainforests of Dominica and the desert-like climate of Aruba. Culturally too, the islands are diverse. St. Maarten/St. Martin is the only island in the world that is shared by two governments – French and Dutch. Jamaica has a rich history that is showcased in its food and its music. Whether you’ve never been to the Caribbean or you’re a longtime fan, there is so much to discover.
Sun, sand and surf are just one part of the picture when it comes to a vacation in the Caribbean. Canadians love sunshine, but we also appreciate warm hospitality. The Caribbean has a long history of welcoming visitors. It’s not uncommon to have strangers wave to you in the streets, or for children to give you a big grin. It’s those moments that make you feel most at home. There’s a laidback attitude too that attracts us. It’s the perfect antidote to our over-scheduled lives. It’s virtually impossible not to relax and unwind during a Caribbean holiday. Add to this excellent hotel facilities and the myriad of activities, excursions, cultural attractions, and tours available, and you truly have the perfect vacation spot.
