Once pick up and departing from your cruise terminal along the way you will hear of the island’s rich history, which includes Indians, slaves, invaders, pirates, buried gold, and a charming blend of cultures, people and languages. The main languages are English, Spanish and Garifuna, which holds on to its African roots. You will pass through several of the small villages that dot the island including Barrio Los Fuertes and French Harbour, the second-largest town on the island. You may also see the wreck of ships along the coast. A stop will be made at one of the highest points on the west end of the island for stunning views over the hills covered with lush vegetation and the sea with its many shades of blue.
