Visit the Baradel Turtle Sanctuary, Petit Tabac, where the Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed, and hike the trails on Petit Rameau, Petit Bateau and Jamesby.
Day 5: Mayreau
Sail to one of the best Caribbean diving locations at the coral reef at Mayreau Gardens. Stop off at Salt Whistle Bay, a beautiful anchorage where you can enjoy a beach bbq or a lively beach bar atmosphere. Mayreau is undeveloped and sparsely populated so you can really get the remote island experience..
Day 6: Blue Lagoon Marina
Sail to Blue Lagoon marina on St. Vincent, visit Fort Duvernette "Rock Fort" on the nearby islet next to Young Island. From here you can have a wonderful view of the Grenadines where you'll find awesome snorkeling too.
Day 7: St. Lucia
Set off early for the wonderful harbor of Marigot Bay on St. Lucia where the electric blue sea is flanked by vivid palms right on the beach. Historically it's seen battles between the English and the French navies, but today it's a popular location for the movie industry and has been the setting for Pirates of the Caribbean and the 1967 movie adaptation of Dr. Doolittle. Sail back to Rodney Bay and disembark.
