The Ultimate Road Trip in Jamaica - MINI-Routes

If you’re looking for the real Jamaican Island experience without the confines of a tinted tour bus, then buckle up and take the wheel of your very own island-inspired MINI Cooper for a guided tour along the island's most scenic routes.

As the sun shines and the island breeze pours through the window, take in all the sights, smells and sounds of the island all whilst making pit-stops at local hot spots and famous landmarks along the way. This Island Routes exclusive road trip is available along 5 immersive routes that were curated to help you get the most out of your time on this colorful island.

What’s Cooking in Antigua - Nicole’s Table

There’s no better way to experience a country's culture than through the food and there’s certainly no better place to explore the foods and flavors of the Caribbean than taking a cooking class in Antigua.

This under-the-radar cooking experience is every foodie’s dream, it’s like hanging out with old friends whilst you cook and share culinary secrets. If you’re always seeking to discover traditional dishes on your travels, look no further than this cooking class, where you make a meal in a local home, better yet, a gorgeous home overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

Drop Your Top in Grenada - Topless Jeep Safari

If you go beyond the beaches of Grenada and explore the island’s lush interior, you’ll find tropical forests, waterfalls, and majestic mountains. One really unique way to travel through inland Grenada is to take the wheel of a topless Jeep, along the scenic trails you’ll experience rainforest-like conditions, so be on the lookout for mango trees, exotic birds and maybe even the occasional mongoose.

This off-road adventure will have all cacao bean lovers rejoicing because you’ll indulge your sweet tooth with a sugar-fueled stop at a local chocolate factory. Not sounding particularly off the beaten path? Hold that thought: Head along the rugged ATV trails which are made even more thrilling with the wind rushing through your hair, to a river bank for a traditional Grenadian river “lyme,” a gathering at a river pool for a refreshing cool down.

While none of these experiences is a secret, they’re all “hidden” in plain sight and most travelers still miss out on them in favor of more famous, touristy excursions of The Caribbean. There’s so much to discover off the beaten path and Island Routes can help you venture away for the day! Your challenge is to go and find out for yourself.
