    "From Barbados to St Lucia"

    Check out where Harry’s going during his Caribbean tour

    Do the Caribbean like Prince Harry

    Prince Harry seems to be having the time of his life during his royal tour of the Caribbean. The royal kicked off his two-week official visit on behalf of the Queen in Antigua and Barbuda last week and has been busy island hopping ever since.


    He stopped off at St Kitts and Nevis, where he met volunteers from a turtle conservation group and helped release baby turtles into the wild on Lover's Beach. Harry’s also found time to show off his sporting skills during his travels, taking part in a cricket game alongside cricket legend Darren Sammy in St Lucia.


    Next up was St Vincent and the Grenadines, where Harry visited the Botanic Gardens. His tour continues with a day trip to the island of Grenada followed by a three-day visit to Barbados to celebrate its 50th year as an independent nation.


    He then plans to squeeze in one final island - Guyana (also celebrating its 50th year of independence), before jetting back to London.


    The prince has said he “holds special memories” of his trips to the Caribbean in the past, and he’s definitely been making some extra special ones this time round.


    Thankfully you don’t have to be royalty to experience the majestic beauty of the Caribbean.


    Here’s everything you need to know to plan your own Prince Harry-style Caribbean tour.

    St Lucia

    PIGEON ISLAND

    There’s no doubt that St Lucia is fit for a king, not to mention a prince, so it’s no surprise that Harry had a ball while he was on the island. He took in many sights including Pigeon Island, a former pirate base turned national park. The 44-acre island is home to two beautiful beaches as well as the ruins of military buildings dating back to the 1800s. There’s also a look-out point at the top of the fort which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the north-west coastline.


    PITONS

    It’s difficult to mention stunning views of St Lucia without bringing up the island’s two volcanic mountains - the Pitons. Visitors can follow a nature trail to the summit of Gros Piton – which is the biggest and the easiest to climb. The mountains are located in the south-western town of Soufriere, and Harry travelled to the area by boat during his visit. Sulphur Springs, the ‘world's only drive-in volcano’ is another Soufriere must-see. The dormant volcano, which last erupted in the 18th-century, is a favourite with tourists thanks to its hot springs and mud baths, which are located just past the seven-acre crater.


    CARNIVALS AND FESTIVALS

    Harry was treated to a St Lucian street festival complete with live music and traditional food and drink when he arrived in Soufriere. Unfortunately the island doesn’t throw these types of events for all its visitors (more’s the pity), but carnivals, parades and festivals are a big part of the St Lucian experience. The St.Lucia Carnival takes place in July and it lasts for several days. You can expect non-stop street parties, a carnival queen show and a pageant through Castries. Best of all, the main parade is totally free. Meanwhile the St Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival, one of the island’s most high profile events, is held every May and has featured the likes of Robin Thicke and Jimmy Cliff.

    BARBADOS

    BRIDGETOWN

    Harry’s currently spending three days in Barbados and he’s got plenty planned during his time here. He’s starting out in Bridgetown, which is the island’s capital and liveliest city. Bridgetown was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2012 and it’s filled with historical sites like Chamberlain Bridge, Heroes Square and the Lord Nelson Statue. A visit to Bridgetown wouldn’t be complete without seeing Carlisle Bay. One of the most picturesque spots on the entire island, Carlisle Bay is famous for its crystal clear waters and immaculate white sand, but it’s also a great place to go snorkelling or diving. In fact there are at least five shipwrecks lying at the bottom of its waters.

     

    GARRISON SAVANNAH

    Harry just happens to be in town at the same time as the world’s most famous Bajan - Rihanna. The Diamonds singer is headlining The Golden Anniversary Spectacular Mega Concert, and the prince will be among the thousands taking in the live celebrations. The concert is being held at the Garrison Savannah, the famous location where Barbados’ original independence ceremony took place back in 1966. The horse racing venue is situated just outside of Bridgetown and was once a training ground for the regiments protecting the island.

     


    MOUNT GAY VISITOR CENTRE

    Like most Caribbean islands, Barbados is very proud of its rum, with Mount Gay being the most well-known. A trip to the Mount Gay Visitor Centre is one of the most fun and interesting ways to get a real taste of it. Here you can learn all about the history of the famous rum, visit a replica rum shop to see how it’s made, and most importantly, everyone gets a free sample.
