5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Caribbean Adventure Guide, February 19, 2000

This review is from: Adventures in Nature Caribbean (Paperback)

My wife and I are active travelers and enjoy planning our own trips. When we decided to visit the Caribbean we were not sure which island to visit, but wanted someplace with lots of natural diversity. "Caribbean Adventures in Nature" helped us select a great adventure in the Windward Islands. We looked at dozens of other guides which were heavy on hotels and restaurants, but light on good practical outdoor information and opted for this guide. It is jam packed with all the information you need to plan every aspect of your adventure including, email addresses, web sites, operators, etc. The information is well organized and the down-to-earth writing style makes it an easy read. If you are planning a foray into the Caribbean then this book is all you will need to plan your adventure.
