A short flight takes you from Barbados to Union Island where their private luxury catamaran/yacht captained by Roger Bagga awaits you.  A light breakfast is served on board before setting sail to Mayreau, where you will anchor in beautiful Saltwhistle Bay.  Then it's over to  the breathtaking Tobago Cays - excellent for snorkeling, swimming or just relaxing.  A delicious buffet lunch with wine is served on board.  A short stop is made at Palm Island before returning to Union Island for the return flight.

Other islands visited are Carriacou, Sandy Island and White Island on the Land of Reefs  trip; or Union Island, Mopian, Petit St Vincent on the Exclusively Yours  trip.

Or there's the Playground of the Rich and Famous - the island of Mustique.  A hideaway for celebrities and royalty, the island is renowned for its seclusion.  On landing, you will enjoy a sumptuous breakfast at either Basil's Bar or The Cotton House.  Then a short tour highlights the holiday homes of well known celebrities.  After a panoramic flight over the Grenadines, you will arrive in Union Island to join the catamaran for sailing the Grenadines.

This is truly an amazing trip - one not to be missed.

In addition to the Grenadines, Chantours can also arrange day tours or overnight packages to a number of other islands throughout the Caribbean.
