During our voyage to the seven islands, we will keep an eye out for the many pelagic birds and sea life. Most islands have endemic or near-endemic birds, and we will have local guides lead the quest to find these special birds. We will have a chance to see St. Lucia Warbler, St. Lucia Oriole, St. Lucia Amazon, Puerto Rican Woodpecker, Hispaniolan Lizard Cuckoo, Brown-Throated Parakeet, Venezuelan Troupial, Lesser Antillean Pewee, and Chestnut-fronted Macaw, to name a few.

Ports of Call

Ft. Lauderdale (Days 1, 13)

Known as the "Venice of America," Fort Lauderdale has 165 miles of canals that wind through this waterfront city. With plenty of sun and sand, you'll find the beaches inviting and only minutes from elegant shops and championship golf courses. After dark, the town offers many five-star restaurants and exciting nightclubs, all set in a lush tropical environment.
Attractions & Activities
People have been flocking to Fort Lauderdale's beaches for decades. And with good reason. Fort Lauderdale Beach is a two-mile strip of beautiful beach featuring the recently renovated Promenade, which offers all sorts of bars, restaurants and shops.

George Town (Day 3)

In a place that forgot to age, beauty abounds as far as the eye can see. Endless cool, powdery sand meets sheer coral reefs in the area aptly called Seven Mile Beach. Along the way theres Pedros Castle, Turtle Crawls and the wild orchards and parrots of Rum Point. In this British Crown Colony, over 100 species of rare birds coexist with fascinating sea life and blossoming flora and fauna.
Attractions & Activities
Experience a once-in-a-lifetime adventure: snorkeling with stingrays at Stingray City Sandbar. These relatively tame creatures will swim right into your arms and eat from your hand. They have velvety soft skin and love to have their bellies rubbed. Despite their frightening name, they are very gentle and won't hurt you as long as you stay away from their tails.

Oranjestad (Day 5)

Oranjestad, the lovely Dutch-gabled capital, is situated on the southwest coast of Aruba. Enjoy the beautiful beaches, colorful Dutch-style houses, busy duty-free shops, and glittering casinos.

Attractions & Activities

The water off Aruba is teeming with marine life. You can see it all up close by taking a submarine 150 feet below the sea. You'll pass scuba divers, coral reefs and shipwrecks on your journey.

Willemstad (Day 6)

Dutch settlers came here in the 1630s, about the same time they sailed through the Verazzano Narrows to Manhattan, bringing with them original red-tile roofs, first used on the trade ships as ballast and later incorporated into the architecture of Willemstad. Much of the original colonial structures remain, but this historic city is constantly reinventing itself and the government monument foundation is always busy restoring buildings in one urban neighborhood or another. The salty air causes what is called "wall cancer" which causes the ancient abodes to continually crumble over time. The city is cut in two by Santa Anna Bay. On one side is Punda (the point)—crammed with shops, restaurants, monuments, and markets and a new museum retracing its colorful history. And on the other side is Otrobanda (literally meaning the "other side"), with lots of narrow, winding streets and alleyways (called "steekjes" in Dutch), full of private homes notable for their picturesque gables and Dutch-influenced designs. In recent years the ongoing regeneration of Otrobanda has been apparent, marked by a surge in development of new hotels, restaurants, and shops; the rebirth, concentrated near the waterfront, was spearheaded by the creation of the elaborate Kura Hulanda complex.There are three ways to cross the bay: by car over the Juliana Bridge; by foot over the Queen Emma pontoon bridge (locally called "The Swinging Old Lady"); or by free ferry, which runs when the pontoon bridge is swung open for passing ships. All the major hotels outside town offer free shuttle service to town once or twice daily. Shuttles coming from the Otrobanda side leave you at Riffort. From here it's a short walk north to the foot of the pontoon bridge. Shuttles coming from the Punda side leave you near the main entrance to Ft. Amsterdam.

Castries (Day 8)

St. Lucia is dotted with swaying palms, and blessed with warm, turquoise waters that are perfect for swimming. Stroll through the lovely shops in the Port Seraphine area of the Castries; or take a tour to Soufrieres "drive-in" volcano, on to the famous Diamond Mineral Baths and waterfall, set in one of the most beautiful gardens in the world.

Attractions & Activities

See the beautiful coastline of St. Lucia from the deck of a catamaran. You'll have an unbeatable view of the scenery and get an exhilarating ride, too.

Basseterre (Day 9)

Authentic Caribbean foods at Basseterre, and a peaceful setting virtually untouched by tourism are among St Kitts most enchanting features. For breathtaking views, visit Brimstone Hill Fort, an impressive construction atop Mt Liamuiga that is one of the wonders of the Caribbean.
Attractions & Activities
Whether you're a history buff or just want to take in the scenery, be sure to visit the 350-year-old estate, Romney Manor, once owned by a British earl. The beautiful grounds include magnificent gardens, exotic plants and an amazing African Saman tree, which covers half an acre and is believed to be as old as the estate itself.

San Juan (Day 10)

One of the largest islands in the Eastern Caribbean, Puerto Rico's landscape encompasses mountains, underground caves, coral reefs, white-sand beaches and an incredibly massive rain forest that supplies fresh water to most of the island. At the same time San Juan, the capital of the commonwealth, is a big city with a bustling business district, glitzy resorts and casinos, as well as one of the most stunning examples of colonial life in the Western world.
Attractions & Activities
When you're in San Juan, don't miss the opportunity to witness the pinnacle of natural beauty by exploring Puerto Rico's El Yunque Rain Forest. It features more than 240 species of trees, hundreds of miniature orchids, and what was once believed to be the Fountain of Youth.

Puerto Plata (Day 11)

One of the most interesting cities in the Dominican Republic, located on the north coast. It's an area of high-priced, luxury resorts, and casinos and home to the Tourist Bazaar. Check out the unique amber jewelry. After shopping, go to the beach. There's over 70 beautiful miles to make into your personal sandbox.
