Take a walk through paradise where two worlds meet … lush verdant vegetation against nature’s majestic charge of black earth and steam… this is Montserrat’s beauty. No crowded beaches, casinos, fast food chains or shopping malls inhibit the pleasure of the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean.
Unwind and feel the warmth of our people and the Caribbean sun which gently embraces our tiny island. The island’s heritage dates back to our first settlers, the Irish, made evident by the names of the towns, villages and family names as well as the distinctive passport stamp - the Shamrock. Our authentic national dish, ‘goat water’ is a rich, thick soup filled with hearty chunks of goat meat; the dish is thought to have origins from an Irish stew: we are the only country outside of Ireland that celebrates St. Patrick’s Day as a national holiday.
Cast your eyes to the south beyond the grey fog where lies the great ‘Mount Soufriere’ our active volcano. Considered as one of the most interesting wonders in the world by scientists; this historical bonus comes with a bird’s eye view from several safe vantage points such as Jack Boy Hill or the Montserrat Volcano Observatory.
We are just next door to Antigua, easily reachable by fixed wing air services, helicopter or by sea charters.
Come, rediscover yourself and welcome to the bravura isle of Montserrat.
