You step into an air-conditioned van and the Atlantic drifts past the window like a promise. The driver eases up a hill and the coastline opens — bright coral water, bands of white sand and settlement roofs catching sun. The tour moves at an island pace: scenic viewpoints, short beach stops and quick market walks that feel improvised and intimate rather than scripted.
