The island of Jamaica is perched on the Caribbean Sea’s core, but the majority of the people here more closely resemble Africa. This is because its history says that many African traditions were followed and are still preserved here and that the slaves who were here were from Africa. Jamaica is the only Caribbean island that is related with Africa in this way. Besides, this island does not go hand in hand with the remaining Caribbean archipelago. Whatever Caribbean prevails here is some soaking sunny beaches, sandy seats, and indulging resorts. Ya, that’s all!
Jamaica offers you a long varied list of attractions - world’s best coffee cup, diving reefs, hiking trails, clean waterfalls, modern towns, and swamps of extinct crocodiles and manatees to name a few.

If you love beachside relaxing, delicious food, and thrilling hiking or diving; Martinique is just the ideal place. This is the best way I can introduce the famous holiday destination where the Gallic culture and Caribbean rituals walk together. The hiking excitement and birds-watching fun are met by the slopes of the still active volcano, Mount Pelee.
The long beaches are successful in pulling the visitors for its oodles of diving in the south. Keeping beside the north full of mountains, rest of the region is quite accessible easily.

Haiti is an attractive Caribbean island that is adorned with many best draws such as natural marvels, parks, and historic monuments and sites. As compared to other Caribbean islands, Haiti as witnessed quite dreadful natural attacks along with the dark past. The most recent one was the devastating earthquake of January 2010 and also this was perhaps the most tragic one in its history taking away optimism and a death toll until thousands.
However, in spite of all this bitter experiences, the people here are still strong enough and ever smiling seeming to bring back optimism and spirit. I wish that this always be with them no matter what ever may be the forthcoming situations.
I visited the island before the quake and as per my experience, visiting Haiti needs patience and time; otherwise, it will not yield much value of your time, money, and efforts.

If you are a person who likes trekking over high tops, exploring aquatic world under waters, and living a contented night with only music as the medium of entertainment, Dominica is just made for you! This is what I experienced at this mind-blowing island of national parks, mountainous tops, handful of beaches, and waterfalls.
Despite being small, the island can only be explored through unexpectedly long drives. Therefore, I recommend to opt for one or two tours rather than looking in any random direction. On the land while mountaineering, solve the mystery of finding secret pools and waterfalls or halt some time to spot some beautiful birds. Below the waters on the coast, be ready to experience the thrilling experience of diving, snorkeling, and kayaking.
Above all, you will really admire the gratitude of the local people who might stop you to wish for happy memorable tour.
