In the late 80′s and early 90′s I used to travel to nearby Montserrat for weekend jaunts. I also represented a villa company marketing over 30 villas. Up until ’95 business was steady. Then, all hell broke loose the summer of ’95. Soufriere, a dormant volcano came to life and changed the entire landscape and culture of this island. I have not been back since but stay connected through the Montserrat Volcano Observatory and other links. You can travel for a day trip from Antigua on a helicopter or take WINAIR for the day. Overnights and week stays are for sure an option. There is an exclusion zone, safe from harms way.
Here is a FABULOUS photo shoot from a heli pilot. Enjoy
