Overview

An introduction to Caribbean Island

The Caribbean is an archipelago of extraordinary variety — volcanic peaks, rainforests, colonial towns, and some of the most beautiful beaches on earth. Each island carries its own distinct character, shaped by centuries of African, European, and indigenous influence, with warm seas and vibrant cultures that draw travellers back time and again. From the lush "Nature Isle" of Dominica to the Dutch-colonial streets of Curaçao, the Caribbean rewards those who look beyond the resort.

Our small group Caribbean Islands tours take you island-hopping by regional flight and catamaran rather than cruise ship, so you spend more time exploring and less time queuing. Over 20 days, Caribbean Island Hopping visits St. Kitts & Nevis, Antigua, Dominica, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Trinidad, Curaçao, and Aruba — with a maximum of 12 travellers, expert guides, and a pace that lets you genuinely discover each island.

Why visit

What makes Caribbean Island worth the journey

Caribbean Island landscape
A place apart

Island diversity in a single trip

Eight very different islands — volcanic rainforest, Dutch colonial towns, desert national parks, and coral reefs — visited without ever boarding a cruise ship. This is Caribbean island hopping on your own terms.

01

Small group, real access

A maximum of 12 travellers means you move at a human pace, access places cruise passengers don't reach, and share your experience with a group small enough to feel like friends.

UNESCO World Heritage Sites

From Brimstone Hill Fortress in St. Kitts to Morne Trois Pitons National Park in Dominica, the Caribbean holds remarkable heritage that goes far beyond beaches.

Unexplored corners of a familiar region

The Dutch Antilles — Curaçao and Aruba — remain little-visited by British and American travellers. For those who think they know the Caribbean, these islands offer a genuine surprise.

Highlights

The highlights of Caribbean Island

Catamaran Sail to Nevis

Cruise the turquoise waters from St. Kitts to its tranquil sister island by luxury catamaran, with time to snorkel the rich marine life along the way. A serene introduction to the Caribbean's natural beauty.

Brimstone Hill Fortress, St. Kitts

A UNESCO World Heritage Site perched dramatically above the coastline, this 17th-century British fortress offers commanding views and a fascinating window into the island's colonial past.

Dominica's Morne Trois Pitons National Park

UNESCO-listed rainforest wilderness home to the otherworldly Boiling Lake, Trafalgar Falls, and the therapeutic hot springs of Wotten Waven. Dominica earns its reputation as the Caribbean's Nature Isle.

Saint Lucia's Pitons & Sulphur Springs

The twin volcanic peaks of Saint Lucia are among the Caribbean's most iconic sights. Nearby, Sulphur Springs offers a one-of-a-kind mud bath experience in the crater of a drive-in volcano.

Dark View Falls & Buccament Bay, Saint Vincent

A short hike to twin waterfalls cascading into natural pools, followed by a swim at Buccament Bay's white-sand beach. Saint Vincent's unhurried character makes it one of the tour's most rewarding stops.

Curaçao's Dutch Colonial Willemstad

Vibrant pastel-painted heritage buildings, cliff-side snorkelling over coral reefs, flamingo sanctuaries, and a thriving food and arts scene — Curaçao is unlike any other island in the Caribbean.

Caribbean Island rewards travellers who slow down — the best stories are found off the tour-bus route.

From the field

When to go

Picking the right season for your trip

The Caribbean has two broad seasons. The dry season runs from roughly December to April, bringing sunshine, lower humidity, and reliably calm seas — ideal conditions for exploring on foot and on the water. May to November is the wet season, when afternoon showers are common and the Atlantic hurricane season is active, peaking between August and October. Temperatures throughout the year are warm, typically in the mid-to-high 20s°C, with cooling trade winds making the heat comfortable across most islands.

Our Caribbean Islands tours depart in February — comfortably within the dry season — offering bright, settled weather across St. Kitts & Nevis, Antigua, Dominica, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Trinidad, Curaçao, and Aruba.

Voices from the road

What travellers say about us

Reviews from across our small-group programme. Independently rated 4.9 Excellent on AITO by 250+ travellers.

Olaf was fantastic. Very responsive to our group's needs and made transfers between airports very easy. He is well travelled, organised and calm. He was able to be flexible when required. We loved the accommodation we stayed in. Perhaps the only "complaints" (minor) was the size of the room we had in Curaçao and the breakfast at the Copper and Lumber Hotel was very basic. Out of all the places we visited, we were a bit disappointed with Aruba. It was like a state of the USA and it felt like an on-land cruise boat. It didn't have the Caribbean vibe we had experienced elsewhere and because of this, felt we stayed too long at that location. It would be better to reduce the time in Aruba and include somewhere like Tobago, Barbados or Grenada.

George Boyd, Spain

We had an amazing tour with Undiscovered Destinations, island hopping in the Caribbean. We were wanting to visit the Caribbean but didn't want to go on a cruise ship. This small group tour was simply fantastic. We had some great local guides, that were very passionate about sharing their island home. Our accommodation was excellent and situated in convenient locations.

Jason was very helpful and the booking process was quick and easy. UD offers itineraries that many competitors do not. I thoroughly enjoyed both trips I've taken with them. While they may not suit everyone, I have happily recommended the Senegal tour to fellow travellers.

I really appreciated Jason's help in answering all of my many questions re: Senegal trip in December 2025. I have a physical disability and I had a lot of accessibility questions for Jason! He was a true professional and was very supportive, warm and friendly and helped me a lot in making my decision to go ahead with the Senegal trip. I would like to thank Jason particularly for this service. I truly appreciate it and I am very thankful.

Didn’t find your perfect Caribbean Island trip?

We’ll build one around you.

The Caribbean's island diversity makes it exceptionally well-suited to a tailor-made approach — different islands reward very different types of traveller, and the right combination depends entirely on your interests and travel style. A private itinerary might focus on the volcanic drama of Dominica and Saint Lucia, linger longer in the Dutch Antilles for Curaçao's art and food scene, or combine mainland Trinidad's wildlife with Aruba's desert landscapes at a pace that suits you. Private travellers can also choose their own travel window, avoiding the peak February season if preferred, with access to private transport, local guides, and a broader range of accommodation. Speak to the Undiscovered Destinations team and we'll design a Caribbean island package built around what you want to see.

Foreign Office travel advice

We constantly monitor official travel advice, including the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Caribbean Islands Travel Advice, and will always advise clients of any warnings before departure. As this tour visits multiple island nations, we monitor the FCDO advice page for each country individually — including St. Kitts & Nevis, Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago, and the Netherlands (for Curaçao and Aruba). At the time of writing, there are no specific warnings against travel to the islands we visit on our tours.
