Aruba is an island in the Caribbean, 15 miles north of the coast of Venezuela, and is one of the four countries that together form the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This flat island with no rivers is renowned for its white sand beaches and tropical climate moderated by constant trade winds from the Atlantic Ocean. Like any Caribbean destination, its beaches do not disappoint, they are wonderfully pretty with silver sand, warm shallow turquoise waters and an abundance of interesting birds and fauna. Oranjestad is the bustling capital of Aruba. Oranjestad has become a destination within the destination Aruba, and is one of the Caribbean's most photogenic cities. The city is also quite lively at night, so much so that the city has been voted, on several occasions, as the Caribbean's best small town nightlife city.

willemstad, curacao

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 18:00

Curaçao is an island in the Caribbean, among the group known as the ABC Islands alongside Aruba and Bonaire. One of the most notable things about the island is its culture. Curaçao has a lovely mix of Caribbean, European, and Latino culture. The streets and buildings have a European appearance, but the people, the food, the music and the colourful street markets have a distinctly Caribbean feel. Willemstad is the capital of Curaçao. Willemstad has a stunning old town. Many of the buildings were built in the colonial Dutch style in the early 18th century. The facades of these buildings are a kaleidoscope of colours ranging from pastel shades to vibrant blues, greens, reds, purples, jades, and buffs in a wide variety of shades. Friendly locals, fantastic climate, white sand, crystal clear water, some of the world’s best scuba diving spots, European-style architecture, a unique international floating market, the world’s longest floating bridge and the many opportunities for excursions and entertainment really make Curacao a place that should be on your Caribbean wish list.

roseau, dominica

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 18:00

Dominica, officially known as the Commonwealth of Dominica, is an island nation in the West Indies. The capital, Roseau, is situated on the western side of the island. Geographically, it is part of the Leeward Islands chain in the Lesser Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean Sea. The island is located near Guadeloupe to the northwest and Martinique to the south-southeast. Its area is 750 km2 (290 sq mi), and the highest point is Morne Diablotins, at 1,447 m (4,747 ft) in elevation. The population was 71,293 at the 2011 census. It is said that Columbus passed the island on Sunday 3 November 1493. It was later colonised by Europeans, predominantly by the French from the 1690s to 1763. Great Britain took possession in 1763 after the Seven Years' War, and gradually established English as its official language. The island republic gained independence in 1978. Its name is pronounced with emphasis on the third syllable, related to its French name of Dominique. Dominica has been nicknamed the "Nature Isle of the Caribbean" for its natural environment. It is the youngest island in the Lesser Antilles, and in fact it is still being formed by geothermal-volcanic activity, as evidenced by the world's second-largest hot spring, called Boiling Lake. The island has lush mountainous rainforests, and it is the home of many rare plants, animals, and bird species. There are xeric areas in some of the western coastal regions, but heavy rainfall occurs inland. The Sisserou parrot, also known as the imperial amazon and found only on Dominica, is the island's national bird and featured on the national flag, which is one of only two national flags containing the colour purple (the other being Nicaragua).
