Scuba Diving in Montserrat, West Indies

Montserrat's FlagLooking for a frenetic pace? You'll realize happily that it's missing when you hike Montserrat's entrancing nature trails, or sip a tropical drink under a beneficent sun, or drive winding mountain roads which rise into lush mountain rainforests and trace miles of hidden coastline. Beguiling black-sand beaches of Montserrat (and the popular white sand Rendezvous Beach) provide a sense of tranquility and ample elbowroom whether you are by yourself or with that special someone.

The bold colors of flamboyant trees, the brilliant red hibiscus, the magical scent of blooming frangipani all become vivid memories you'll carry with you until the pull of the ‘Emerald Isle of the Caribbean’ brings you back again and again.

World class fishing, more than 30 pristine dive sites, rare and lovely bird-life - including the national bird, the rare Montserrat Oriole - and mouth watering local cuisine, especially national dish ‘Goat Water’ and the famous ‘Mountain Chicken’ all add to the many pleasures of a visit to Montserrat.

Truly unique to this West Indies Island is an active volcano that scientists call one of the most interesting in the world. Visit the Montserrat Volcano Observatory and learn about it, its history and its future. See the awesome legacy of this force of nature from safe vantage points around our modern-day Pompeii, Montserrat's old capital, Plymouth.

On Montserrat, guest accommodations range from intimate guesthouses and small boutique hostelries to grand oceanfront villas with pools and full staff. Montserratians are among the most naturally hospitable people on earth and everyone you meet will want to make your encounter with the island and its unparalleled beauty an experience you will treasure.
