Number 4. Barbados
Barbados is the birthplace of rum (Mount Gay Distillery has been producing rum for nearly 300 years), so it's understandable why the tiny island is also big on festivals and island-wide celebrations. While Barbados has no shortage of great beaches – there are over 80 to choose from – some of Barbados' best activities are on land.
One of the island's most popular events is Crop Over, which historically marked the end of the sugar cane season. The event dates back to 1780 and takes place at the end of July. The festival features concerts, arts and crafts, and the grand finale, The Grand Kadooment, a carnival that takes over the streets of Bridgetown with revelers in colorful costumes, mile-high speakers with booming music, and food and drinks.
In November, the island also puts on a world-class Food and Rum Festival with local and top chefs around the world participating. October marks the Barbados Jazz Excursion, a weekend filled with concerts and a benefit golf tournament.
Number 3. Saint Kitts
Saint Kitts is a lush, mountainous island formed by volcanic activity that will appeal to adventure travelers. The island has its share of white sand and rich black sand beaches – the result of volcanic rock deposits. For a high-altitude adventure, visitors can hike Mt Liamuiga, a dormant volcano on the island's western end. At nearly 3800ft, it's one of the highest peaks in the Caribbean.
Saint Kitts also has an extensive network of trails and caves that will take hikers past waterfalls, craters and the island's native verdant monkeys. Travelers can also step back in time with a ride on the Saint Kitts Scenic Railway. Originally built to transport sugar across the island, the three-hour ride gives passengers a scenic, 30-mile tour of the island. Other ways to traverse the island include a dune buggy or quad bike tour that will take riders past Old Road Town, the first English settlement in the Caribbean, and Brimstone Hill, the UNESCO Heritage fortress. Thrill seekers can also zip line over the rainforest or go horseback riding on beaches or mountain trails.
Number 2. Antigua
Antigua's claim to fame is its 365 beaches – one for every day of the year. But those who venture beyond the beaches will be rewarded with several great hiking excursions. Between Antigua and its sister island Barbuda, there are over 65 named mountains and hills, many of which make excellent hiking trails.
Antigua's most well-known mountain is Mt Obama, formerly named Boggy Peak. This peak is the highest elevation on the island, extending 1319ft into the air. Those who make it to the top are privy to panoramic views of Antigua and neighboring Montserrat. Mt Obama is considered an intermediate trail, and the three-hour round-trip hike can be strenuous, especially on a hot day.
More low-key hikes around Antigua can be found by heading to Nelson's Dockyard National Park and following the trails that lead past landmarks like Pigeon Point Beach and historic attractions like The Blockhouse, a former British military fort. Hikers can also work up a sweat on the Pillar of Hercules hike, which starts at the end of Galleon Beach and leads hikers to a majestic limestone formation.
Number 1. Saint Lucia
Saint Lucia is one of the most geographically stunning islands in the Caribbean. The Pitons, the twin volcanic peaks, are its most recognizable landmark, and the island also has tons of other natural attractions. For first-timers, the Pitons are a must-explore destination, and travelers can explore the natural wonders by a boat ride, snorkeling the surrounding waters or hiking to the top of Gros Piton – the larger (but more navigable) of the two peaks.
At Saint Lucia's Sulfur Springs, located in the historic town of Soufrière, travelers can take a mud bath and then rinse off in the steaming springs. Saint Lucia's interior rainforest is also fantastic for exploring. The Edmund Forest Reserve is an 18,000 sq ft park ideal for spotting the Saint Lucian parrots and orioles native to the island.
The island also abounds with waterfalls. While there are several impressive cascades, Sault Falls (also known as Dennery Falls or Errard Falls) is an off-the-beaten-track 50ft waterfall with a swimming hole that's best explored with an experienced guide.
