Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival Toronto (formerly known as Toronto International Carnival, also known as Caribana) has been a magnet for Caribbean culture lovers. It is an exciting three-week cultural explosion of Caribbean music, cuisine, revelry as well as visual and performing arts. In its 44th year it has become a major international event and the largest cultural festival of its kind in North America.
Shark Encounters Of The Bahamas
A growing number of scuba divers are doing the unthinkable. They go in search of sharks- and take them on, eyeball to eyeball, without any special protection.
Dunns River Falls, Jamaica
Dunns River Falls has appeared on numerous tourism posters and guides throughout the years. The falls are almost always crawling with human chains attempting to scale the rounded face. The falls lie about two miles west of Ocho Rios. You'll know you're on the right track when you pass the hulking remained of a former bauxite shipping facility.
Guyana - Where to go
Georgetown:
The vibrant character and graceful beauty of Georgetown reflects much of the city's exceptional cultural history and diversity. Designed by the Dutch (and first known as Stabroek), Guyana's capital has wide, tree-lined avenues, lily-covered canals, and many fine examples of 18th and 19th century colonial buildings. Georgetown's tropical botanical gardens, as one might expect in a country of such incredible natural beauty, are considered to be among the very best in the world.
Guyana Nightlife - Guyana After Dark...
Guyana nightlife caters for every possible taste in nocturnal entertainment. There are places and activities for the sedate as well as the adventurous. The street that never sleeps, Sheriff is the place to be with lots of action and a variety of activities. Some years ago Sheriff Street was a residential street on the outskirt of Georgetown, but times have changed, drastically. Now Sheriff Street has acquired a boulevard-like character; its teeming night-life a talking point in capitals throughout the Caribbean from Nassau to Paramaribo.
Grenada Sports & Recreation
Grenada's most popular beaches for sunbaking and swimming are all in the southwest of the island. They include the fine sweep of white sand at Grand Anse, nearby Morne Rouge Bay and True Blue. Calvigny Island, off the island's southwestern coast, has a couple of pretty beaches - you can reach them by shuttle boat from Secret Harbour or by asking fisherpeople around Woburn Pier. If you want to have a beach to yourself, head to Carriacou.
Grenada Festivals
Grenada boasts an ever increasing range of festivals both sporting and cultural in nature. For the sailing enthusiasts we’ve got the Grenada Sailing Festival in January. For music and cuisine lovers we’ve got the Spice Jazz in June. Probably the only country to have two Carnivals every year, stop by Carriacou Carnival in February and Grenada Carnival in August.
