Stepping off the ship at Pointe Seraphine, the island hits quickly — humid air, sugar-sand light, and green hills that seem to press the sky down. The tour moves with purpose: short drives between dramatic viewpoints, a sheltered harbor that cradles yachts, and geothermal steam that hisses like a moodier island greeting.
