Adventure in Montserrat
It’s never too early to think about an upcoming trip to the Caribbean this winter, especially with temperatures expected to top out in the 40s this weekend in Boston. Consider, for example the “Voyage to the Volcano” package offered on the isle of Montserrat. During the six day/five night package, you’ll take a boat tour along the Leeward Coast of the island culminating in spectacular views of the Soufriere Hills volcano, go kayaking and snorkeling at secluded black sand beaches, take a private tour that stops at the Montserrat Volcano Observatory and AIR Studios where music greats such as the Rolling Stones, Elton John and Paul McCartney once recorded, take a trek with a local guide through one of Montserrat’s numerous hiking trails to view the lush forest and search for the Montserrat Oriole, the island’s national bird, and have dinner at Olveston House, the private home turned guest house of Beatle’s producer Sir George Martin. The $885 per person price includes lodging at a private villa, rental car, some meals, and activities. Visit Dive Montserrat for more information.
