Highlights

Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos

Grand Turk, the capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands, is a small island bursting with turn-of-the century Caribbean charm, retaining the look and feel of the Caribbean 40 years ago. Grand Turk is six miles long and just over a mile wide with a population of only 6,000. It is blessed with miles of uncrowded, beautiful beaches and is close to several uninhabited cays such as Gibb's Cay, home of the stingray encounter. Grand Turk is world-famous for its healthy and beautiful coral reefs that surround the island, stretching almost from the coastline to the 7,000-foot vertical wall just offshore.

Fun Things to Do:

• Visit the many landside attractions and explore the Old Prison, Lighthouse Park, and the re-created salt salina, the real beauty of the island lies underwater.
• Explore Turks & Caicos National Museum, located in one of the oldest stone buildings on the islands, chronicles Grand Turk's history from 700 A.D. to modern times and features artifacts from the Molasses Reef wreck.
• Grand Turk Lighthouse, this lighthouse was brought from the U.K. to help halt shipwrecks on Grand Turk's reefs. Today, it's a prized historic site, protected by the National Trust.

Amber Cove, Dominican Republic

Tucked on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, Amber Cove, named for the translucent gemstone found on its shores, sits just seven miles from the town Puerto Plata, a cinematic locale used as the backdrop for the first Jurassic Park film. Just steps from the dock take in the sparkling beach, which offers a plethora of water activities, and the serene, natural beauty from the comfort of a private bungalow.

Fun Things to Do:

• See the marine adventure park that showcases the largest man-made dolphin habitat in the world. Here you can snorkel in the Reef Aquarium, feed exotic birds, walk through a tropical rainforest, watch a sea lion show, and much more.
• Enjoy a myriad of activities at the public beach.  
• Nature lovers and thrill seekers will enjoy Amber Cove's diverse landscapes, which offer a variety of outdoor adventures – from a rainforest zipline, kayaking down a tropical to an outback country terracross excursion.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

San Juan vibrates to a lively salsa beat. There's an unmistakable zest in the air here. Perhaps it's the stunning natural setting: the verdant peaks, tropical forests, and gleaming white-sand beaches. Or maybe it's Puerto Rico's mix of cultures, the blend and occasional clash of four centuries of Spanish heritage overlaid with a century spent as America's only Commonwealth. Whatever the reason, San Juan is one of the most enticing ports in the Caribbean, and it only gets lovelier with age.

Fun Things to Do:

• Explore El Morro de San Felipe, this 16th-century citadel is a maze of tunnels, dungeons, barracks, outposts and ramps. Named after King Phillip of Spain, this six-level fortress guarded the bay from sea invaders.
• Visit Casa Bacardi which is home to the Bacardi family's extensive rum distillery, the visitor center has a fascinating tour with videos and olfactory exhibits, as well as a museum and replica of its very first distillery.
• Enjoy the Cultural & Botanical Gardens of Caguas. Puerto Rico has a perfect climate for growing some of the prettiest flowers and plants imaginable. This large park has many paths that let you meander.

Bermuda (West End)

The Royal Naval Dockyard, the westernmost point in Bermuda, not only showcases Bermuda's nautical heritage, but it also provides a home for an impressive array of attractions and shopping opportunities. The fortifications of the Royal Naval Dockyard were built by British convicts and slave labor during the mid-1800s. The centerpiece of the Dockyard is the commanding Clocktower building, which once served as a naval store and the captain's offices. Today, it has been marvelously restored. Throughout the Dockyard, you will find several restaurants, art galleries, the Bermuda Craft Market, and the Bermuda Maritime Museum, as well as an array of specialty shops and boutiques.

Fun Things to Do:

•  Spend the day in Hamilton, Bermuda's capital city is named after Sir Henry Hamilton. It is a busy port and popular travel destination thanks to its colorful architecture and shopping.
• Visit the Maritime Museum that is home to 500 years of history, displayed in military buildings, including the Commissioner's House. View cannons, shipwreck artifacts and maritime art.
• See one of the oldest cast-iron lighthouses in the world, Gibb's Hill Lighthouse. It first flashed its light on May 1st, 1846 using kerosene, and can be seen by ships up to 40 miles away.

Activity Level 2:

This tour requires average physical activity. You should be in good health, able to climb stairs and walk reasonable distances, possibly over uneven ground and cobblestoned streets.
