Diving & Snorkeling: You can get wet on every island but only a few have truly outstanding diving and snorkeling.

Ecotourism: St. Lucia is among the best organized though its Heritage Tourism Programme. Animal Viewing: Places you're virtually guaranteed to see animals.

Fishing Vacations: Use the resources of the Caribbean Fish Finder about what to take, where to go.

Golf: The Caribbean has dozens of excellent golf courses, some world famous.

Hiking and walking: Make it easy or as strenuous, though most hikes are short walks lasting only a few hours.
