Dominica
Dominica, known as ‘Nature’s Island’ thanks to its rugged volcanic landscapes, dense rainforests and cascading waterfalls, is one of the Caribbean’s most wild and under-the-radar destinations. Clients can enjoy hiking, kayaking or scuba diving, before unwinding in luxury in some of the best spots on the island.
Clients can glide along the Indian River on a privately guided boat journey to discover birdlife and marine species in the mangroves, snorkel among Champagne Reef’s geothermal bubbles in the south and hike to the hidden waterfalls of Morne Trois Pitons National Park in the interior.
British Virgin Islands
Audley Travel’s specialists have explored many of the islands in the British Virgin Islands archipelago and can arrange itineraries that invite travellers join the festivities, complete with Caribbean music and food, unwind in their own bubble of peace or opt for a mix of the two.
Virgin Gorda delivers active days of water sports, paired with exploring the Baths’ maze of giant boulders. Privately owned Peter Island is ideal for clients seeking natural beauty, but still be within boating distance of Jost Van Dyke’s beach bars. Also privately owned, Guana Island has the feel of a family holiday home rather than a resort and, as a protected wildlife sanctuary, has four resident giant tortoises as well as flamingos, iguanas and lizards. Clients seeking a uber high-end luxury experience can book a stay at Richard Branson’s Necker Island or The Branson Beach Estate on the lesser-known Moskito Island.
