St. Vincent and the Grenadines
St. Vincent and the Grenadines, situated about one hundred miles west of Barbados, and nestled between St Lucia to the north and Grenada to the south, this string of islands may be physically close together, but vary enormously in character, terrain and appeal.
The main center of activity is St Vincent, the largest and northernmost of the islands. As well as exploring St Vincent's two distinct coastlines - the rugged windward side and the gentle leeward side - and lush, interior hiking trails, don't miss the opportunity to spend time on the tiny isle of Bequia, just a short ferry ride away, a yachters' haven that also boasts shimmering beaches and a fascinating seafaring history. The less developed and less populated islands of Canouan, Mayreau and Union are all easily reachable by ferry and offer a taste of the unspoiled Caribbean, while Mustique, an island hideaway of the rich and famous, makes for an affordable day trip of swimming and snorkelling, though don't expect to find a cheap place to stay.
The uninhabited national park of the Tobago Cays, a cluster of islets which form the eastern point of a triangle between Union Island and Mayreau, are surrounded by coral reefs and unbelievably aquamarine waters and make an excellent excursion from nearby islands.

La Soufrière, St Vincent
Though rugged, the five-hour trek up to the peak of this active volcano is well worth the effort.
