Yes, glorious white-sand beaches lure throngs of visitors to the many postcard-perfect islands strewn throughout the Caribbean; but, for those sunseekers who want to do more than just chill on an idyllic beach, amazing adventures guaranteed to get the adrenalin pumping await. To get your juices flowing, put these five thrills on your must-do list.
THE BLUE HOLE IN BELIZE
BONAIRE: SOAR ACROSS THE WATER On this Dutch island, consistent offshore winds blow at an average of 17 to 22 knots nearly year-round, making the isle a prime location for kiteboarding. The fast-paced action takes place at Atlantis Beach on the isle’s southern tip where flat, warm, and crystal-clear water makes the fun suitable for all levels, with supervision. With a wide bay, there’s plenty of room for newbies to try their hand at the sport, and for the experienced to learn new tricks. Local kiteboarding companies offer lessons and equipment rentals. 12 • Vacations ® • Spring 2020
