10 days in Bahamas, St. Barthelemy & Grenada Itinerary

Part of an archipelago encompassing hundreds of islets and cays, Bahamas boast many pink beaches, which get their vibrant color from fractured seashells mixed with ordinary sand. For most pleasure seekers an ideal holiday in Bahamas consists of various sea activities, occasionally interrupted by tours of several cities, offering an eclectic music scene dominated by calypso, soca, and junkanoo genres. Romantic enough to attract newlyweds from around the globe, the islands are also a major center of eco-tourism, with visits to national parks and diving tours in colorful reefs among the most popular things to do in Bahamas.

The volcanic island of St. Barthelemy has become a popular holiday destination for the rich and famous. It doesn't take a large leap of the imagination to see why, with the towering mountainous backdrop, green hills, and waters protected by a coral reef. The beaches offer ample room for lazing under the sun, while the calm waters offer rich marine environments, easily accessible on dives or snorkeling trips. A St. Barthelemy vacation can work to a budget more modest than a millionaire's too, with good deal available during off season.

The main island and six smaller ones offer unspoiled interior landscapes of lush vegetation, impressive waterfalls, and winding rivers, explorable on a number of ecotourism experiences, such as rafting, hiking, and climbing. The coastal areas provide long stretches of golden sand, backed by large and popular resorts, while the humble urban areas have become particularly well-known for their atmospheric eateries, serving local cuisine using produce from the Island of Spice. One of the main things to do in Grenada has to be marine exploration, with dive sites offshore representing some of the most abundant in the region, with impressive coral formations providing home for a schools of tropical fish.
