If you are interested in the vegetation that you are zip lining through, the guides will be happy to describe the rainforest flora in detail. At the end of the zip line adventure, you will follow a nature trail back to the welcome center for a refreshing drink.

Admire the striking natural beauty of St. Lucia on a meandering panoramic ride with occasional stops at the most scenic viewpoints. From atop Morne Fortune, you will enjoy a sweeping view of Castries. Ironically, Morne Fortune means “hill of good luck,” but it was the site of numerous horrific battles between French and English troops. Another stop will be made at Caribelle Batik, where you will watch artists creating one-of-a-kind fashions using hot wax and colorful dyes. Still, it is the scenic beauty of St. Lucia that captures so many hearts, as you will discover firsthand from the overlook at La Guerre, which was once the island’s largest banana plantation. Later, while meandering through the gardens at Stony Hill with the estate’s owners, you will hear about the joys of living in the tropics.

Ride the Hibiscus Trolley Train through Castries as the guide regales you with entertaining stories of the capital city’s history and architectural highlights. Although the exact route will depend on the traffic conditions, you can expect to pass the bustling craft market, beautiful colonial government buildings and Derek Walcott Square, named for the St. Lucian-born poet and playwright that won the Nobel Prize in 1992. The highlight will be visiting the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, the largest church in the Caribbean when it was completed in 1897. Be sure to look above the altar, where you will see a representation of St. Lucia, the island’s patron saint. She died in 304 A.D., the victim of Christian persecution during the reign of Roman emperor Diocletian. Following the city tour, you will enjoy a bit of free time at the beach where you can enjoy a complimentary rum or fruit punch.

Kayak and snorkel through the crystal-clear waters surrounding Cas Cay and then hike around the uninhabited, boomerang-shaped island, which lies within the St. Thomas Mangrove Wildlife Refuge and Marine Sanctuary. Your two-person kayak will be easy to paddle, allowing you to concentrate on the scenery, which is extraordinary. Red mangrove trees grow right to the water’s edge, and chances are you will spot all sorts of water birds in the intertwined aboveground roots. The guide will describe how the mangroves filter sediments, stabilize the shorelines and provide a nesting and breeding habitat for fish and sea turtles. You will see much of this marine life while snorkeling just off Cas Cay, where starfish, pufferfish and stingrays are abundant. Afterwards, you can explore the island on foot by following the trails inland and around the coast. The tidal pools are particularly well worth a look, as different marine creatures inhabit them.

Scuba dive in the crystal-clear waters off St. Thomas at a site chosen the day of the excursion to ensure the best conditions. Following a brief orientation on what to expect, you will embark the dive boat and head out to sea. The captain will select a dive site with the best visibility and least current. The water depths typically range from 35-60 feet in the preferred dive sites, which include the Buck Island Wildlife Refuge, a number of Navy barges sunk after World War II and the wreck of the Cartanser Senor. The latter is a 190-foot freighter that sank in 1979 and rests in three pieces that have become artificial reefs teeming with marine life. A PADI-certified dive master and several guides will accompany you throughout the tour and provide assistance if needed.

Hoist the sails and set a course south on a comfortable, exclusive catamaran. This upscale sail and snorkel tours starts with a scenic one hour motor-sail out to Buck Island, a fish and birdlife private island sanctuary. Your attentive crew will point out island highlights, serve you sodas, water and advise you about your snorkeling adventure. You'll visit two different snorkel areas- Shipwreck and Turtle Bay- both located on Buck Island, conditions permitting. You will have ample time at each of these different snorkel sites to explore. After receiving your modern snorkel gear, safety vest and snorkle instruction, your crew will lead a guided tour through this underwater haven of abundant marine life, coral formations and colorful sea-life. Keep an eye out for an inquisitive Turtle, rays, and maybe even a shipwreck. After more than an hour at this paradise island you'll set sail for the return into beautiful Charlotte Amalie Harbor. Enjoy snacks, along with complimentary tropical rum punch. Relax during your delightful sail in blue Caribbean waters, with stunning scenery and Caribbean music.

Walk on the ocean floor at Coral World using a Sea Trek helmet that will keep your head completely dry as you observe the wonders underwater. Following a brief orientation on how to use the helmet, you will follow a Sea Trek guide along an underwater trail through a coral reef at a depth of about 12-18 feet. For extra stability, there is even a handrail along the route. You won’t be in an aquarium-like tank but rather in an open-ocean environment, where you will likely encounter schools of horse-eye jacks, neon-colored parrotfish and sharp-headed arrow crabs. You may even spot sea turtles and stingrays swimming by. Using the Sea Trek helmet is remarkably easy and presents a world of marine life many people never see, especially those that feel uncomfortable snorkeling or diving.

Learn the basics of scuba diving in an introductory class that will quickly give you the skills necessary to observe the wonders underwater. After practicing in a small, pool-like body of water, you will head to sea in a dive boat. Your destination will be the Buck Island Wildlife Refuge, a protected cove that is ideal for first-time scuba divers. A PADI-certified dive master and several guides will accompany you throughout the tour and provide assistance in the water, if needed. It no time, you will be scuba diving in crystal-clear waters inhabited by a riot of tropical fish and sea turtles. Leatherbacks, hawksbills and green turtles are commonly seen around St. Thomas, and many of them nest on the island. You can also expect to see parrotfish, starfish and trumpetfish, which are named for their long slender appearance.

Sail to the enchanting island of St. John on board a custom-designed catamaran and then snorkel in the turquoise waters just off shore. All that is required of you is to sit back and relax as the catamaran glides along the eastern end of St. Thomas and continues on to St. John, the most pristine of the U.S. Virgin Islands. In time, you will arrive at Honeymoon Beach within the St. John National Park. You will be free to snorkel, stroll along the sugar-white beach and relax as you see fit. You might stretch out on a beach towel, linger in the shade of a coconut palm and swim in the sea with nothing on your mind other than enjoying yourself. On the return cruise to St. Thomas, champagne, beer and rum punch and all sorts of cheeses, freshly baked breads and fresh tropical fruits will be served.

Settle in for a spectacularly scenic drive around St. Thomas, much of it on the elevated road Skyline Drive. As you begin to ascend into the hills, you will enjoy sweeping views of the sea and your cruise ship in the harbor. The higher you go, the more extraordinary the views. Occasional stops at the most picturesque vantage points will provide historical perspectives as well, as the guide will point out and describe the sights.

The ingredients will depend on what is seasonal and freshest, but you can count on enjoying a welcoming fruit smoothie, a fish dish with grilled vegetables and a dessert featuring mango, guava berries or fig bananas. Afterwards, you can browse the artists’ colony and see works such as sculptures that the farm’s owner has created from discarded metal buoys.

Visit landmark attractions that showcase the diversity of Tortola with natural beauty being their common denominator. You won’t have to travel far to marvel at the island’s biodiversity, as the J.R. O’Neal Botanic Gardens lies in the heart of Road Town. Named for the British Virgin Islands’ first conservationist, the grounds are full of indigenous and exotic plants, many of which will be in bloom. Although nearby St. Phillip’s Anglican Church is in ruins, it sits in an idyllic setting. As you will discover while pausing for photos, it is the first church in the Americas built for Africans liberated from slave ships. A stop at Cane Garden Bay will present the immense beauty of Tortola’s north shore. The 400-year-old Callwood Rum Distillery overlooks the bay and is still housed in the original stone building. After an enlightening tour of the distillery and aging room, you will sample some of Callwood’s rums.

Enjoy an enlightening survey tour of Buenos Aires with visits to its most characteristic neighborhoods and its most famous square. Departing the pier by comfortable coach, you’ll soon be standing in the Plaza de Mayo, where Argentines have thronged to voice jubilation or resistance since the days of the 1810 revolution that led to independence from Spain. With its May Pyramid obelisk in the middle, the pink presidential mansion on one end and the gloriously frescoed Metropolitan Cathedral along one side, this is the quintessential heart of the country. By way of contrast, you’ll travel to the working class La Boca district to stroll its El Caminito, a historic street beloved for it brightly colored buildings and for the tango dancers often seen performing impromptu on the cobbles. For still more contrast, you’ll drive through magnificently affluent Barrio Norte on a pilgrimage to Recoleta Cemetery, the final resting place for Argentina’s wealthy and powerful. This miniature city of sorts is lined with grandiose mausoleums housing the mortal remains of generals, sports heroes and the great Evita herself. A spin through sprawling, leafy Palermo provides a glimpse of the city’s trendiest boutiques and cafes.

Combine a survey of Buenos Aires’ most iconic neighborhoods with a tour of the museum dedicated to the city’s most iconic resident ever. Departing the pier by coach, you’ll visit the Plaza de Mayo, the most politically and historically significant square in all of Argentina. Foremost among the landmarks surrounding it on all sides is the pink Casa Rosada presidential mansion from which Evita delivered her famous speeches to adoring throngs below. A drive through the cobbled streets of colonial-style San Telmo is a trip through Buenos Aires past while the roads of picturesque La Boca radiate warm personality and vibrant color. Affluent Barrio Norte is all about French and Italian elegance, and a visit to Recoleta Cemetery brings you into one of the world’s most impressive cities of the dead, its rows of ornate above-ground mausoleums seeming to be in a struggle to outdo each other for grandeur. But none can compete with the elegance of the Museo Evita, housed in a 1923 mansion in the leafy Palermo district. Opened in 2002, this impeccably curated museum brims with memorabilia from her personal life and explores the social realities and international implications of her era as Argentina’s first lady.

Cruise through the labyrinthine canals of the Tigre River delta, amidst unspoiled natural beauty and unexpected English-style architecture. You’ll depart the pier by coach, first cruising the roads as you travel past stately mansions, soaring highrises and plush waterfront homes in several Buenos Aires neighborhoods. When you reach San Isidro Cathedral, you’ll stop for exterior photos or perhaps an inside visit of this National Historic Site if time allows. Considered one of Argentina’s most beautiful cathedrals, it’s also one of the tallest – its neo-Gothic clock tower soaring more than 225 feet above the city. Continuing northward, you’ll reach the Tigre River and begin your waterborne cruise by motor launch through this lush network of winding canals and forested islands. A green wonderland named for the tigres or jaguars that once roamed here, the stately riverside homes along these tributaries are quite wondrous themselves. Many are mock Tudors or Victorians sporting British-style gardens that reveal England’s strong historic ties with Buenos Aires. Once viewed up close from the river, you’ll understand why the Tigre delta remains such a desirable weekend getaway for affluent locals.

Travel into the legendary pampas outside Buenos Aires for an afternoon of feasting and horsemanship. You’ll depart the pier by panoramic coach, headed for a large private ranch – known here as an estancia – where the highly-skilled hands on horseback are the gauchos. Steeped in folklore, myth and song much like the cowboys of the American West, these men almost literally live in the saddle and have the flair for ridership to prove it. Upon arrival at the estancia, enjoy a welcome with tasty empanadas typical of the region. Stroll around the property, enjoy a horse or carriage ride, or watch the gauchos preparing your authentic slow-cooked barbeque lunch, called asado al asador. At noon, you’ll sit down together to share this savory feast, spit-roasted over an open fire. After lunch, your hosts will play traditional music and show how dancing is done in this part of the world. Then, for yet another highlight of this day, they’ll mount up and present a thrilling display of their almost-unbelievable horsemanship skills. Don’t try these tricks at home!

Experience a live tango show and enjoy all the sensuous, dramatic qualities of this deeply historic dance form. Like the steps themselves, the story of tango is steeped in myth and romance. In the latter part of the 19th century, Buenos Aires was becoming an immigrant city where frustrated and melancholic Europeans were arriving in great numbers as the displaced rustic gauchos retreated into the ever-more-distant countryside. Filled with nostalgia for the disappearing old ways of life, the tango show grew to express the apprehensions of the culture in transition. Lost passions like horse racing and other traditional diversions were expressed, as well as deeper cultural anxieties. The tango was a passionate response to a changing community landscape, a feeling of betrayal by women, the loss of a mother figure and the disruption of longstanding friendships. This highly emotional backstory was captured and given musical expression in the intricate, stylized dance now beloved the world over. Sit back and enjoy the show.
