Holidaying with Jane McDonald: The Caribbean

Jane starts out on the trip of a lifetime as she island-hops solo around the Caribbean. She begins in Barbados, where she goes snorkelling with two fellow Brits from Yorkshire, and hires private tour guide Dawn Lisa to point out the magical sights that leave Jane in awe of the flora, fauna and culture of the island.

Jane heads to St Lucia. taking a trip to the heart of the rainforest to get view of the flora and fauna from above the canopy, and going on a boat ride from the north to the south of the island en route to an outdoor hot tub heated by a volcano. Jane also meets Helen DeMacque-Crockett, aka Pepsi of Pepsi & Shirlie fame, who has St Lucian heritage and has moved to the island to run a sailboat charter business.

The singer visits the island of Grenada, with local chef Belinda taking her to the spice market in the capital St Georges, where they shop for the ingredients to make the speciality of sailfish and cou-cou. The next day, Jane dons her wetsuit and snorkel gear and takes a memorable trip diving beneath the waves, marvelling at the underwater sculpture park at Molinere Bay.

Jane visits Antigua, which she visited during her cruise ship years, and decides to track down island celebrities she has always wanted to meet and fulfil a dream of chartering her own yacht. She begins her trip by swimming with stingrays, before stooping off at the world-famous English Harbour - home to some multimillion-pound yachts.
