There are five islands that make up the Dutch Caribbean and then there is Aruba, an independent state with close ties to the Netherlands. Bonaire and Curaçao, with Aruba make up the ‘ABC’s’. These three islands are in the south of the Caribbean just off the coast of Venezuala. They have a semi-arid climate and are cooled by the trade winds and a landscape of gently rolling hills, cacti and watapana trees.
If you are looking for atmosphere and distinctive local culture, then a holiday in the Dutch Caribbean could well be the Caribbean holiday for you. The Dutch influence gives the islands a unique ambience and character, reflected in the local music and richly painted colours of its buildings. Dutch colonial houses and shops can still be found in the older parts of the capital towns. The people speak four different languages including English.
Perhaps the biggest draw though is under the water. If a Caribbean diving holiday is what you’re looking for then ask our experienced Caribbean specialists about the Dutch Caribbean as a destination for you. The coral reefs and abundant fish life make these islands among the best in the world for divers. The Trade Winds also make it perfect for windsurfing, especially Bonaire and Aruba which have large areas of very shallow waters.

Dominica is an island of unspoiled nature, with tropical rainforest, 365 rivers rushing to the sea, national parks and a UNESCO world heritage site. A holiday in Dominica is a haven for the hiker and nature-lover, with nearly 300 miles of footpaths and trails taking you to some of Dominica’s most spectacular scenery. Discover waterfalls, twin cascades, warm thermal pools and, for the serious hikers, take the demanding trail to The Boiling Lake.

Dominica is known as the ‘Whale Watching Capital of the Caribbean’, with a 95% success rate of spotting whales and being the only country in the world where Sperm Whales reside year round, although sightings are most common between November to March, the title of the ‘Nature Island’ is well deserved. The sharp rise and fall of Dominica’s landscape is as spectacular under the water as it is on land and one of the best diving sites in the world. Dominica is an unspoilt paradise, after an active day’s walking, diving or river tubing, enjoy relaxing in one of the natural hot pools or a spa treatment at one of the wellness centres.
