Tuesday, February 10 - FOLLOW THE FORCES OF NATURE IN LITTLE BAY
Port: Little Bay, Montserrat
Arrive: 9:00 am

Diminutive in stature but big on ambition, Little Bay is a testament to the resilience of Montserrat, where the 1997 eruption of Soufrière Hills Volcano turned the fairy-tale capital, Plymouth, to ash. Today, a new city rises amid the emerald folds and transcendent beaches of the northern coast, where coral gardens bloom in Caribbean currents and humpback whales weave between the waves. Jungle hikes and kayaking adventures are rewarded with sublime sunsets in tropical beach bars that pay homage to the island's musical legacy. Venture to the ruins of Plymouth and stand humbled before skeletal buildings submerged in a torrent of volcanic debris, then discover the forces of nature at the Montserrat Volcano Observatory for up-close views of the monstrous crater.

The motherly arms of Virgin Islands National Park embrace two-thirds of the isle, an emerald expanse of protected forest etched with mountain valleys, indigenous rock art, and the ruin of an old sugar plantation, crisscrossed by a web of scenic hiking trails. Kayak into the knotted mangroves around Hurricane Hole or plunge below the waves at Maho Bay, where turtles and rays sluice through crystal-clear waters.
