Guadeloupe
Butterfly-shaped islands split by a mangrove channel, a volcano you can hike to the sulphurous summit of before lunch, and waterfalls cool enough to justify the climb straight after.
The best time to visit Guadeloupe is Dec–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 30°C (85°F). Local time there is 21:19 (UTC-4).
