Montserrat is a volcanic island 30 miles south west of Antigua, part of the Leeward Islands, in the Caribbean. The last major volcanic eruption from the active Soufriere Hills volcano was as recently as 1995, and destroyed much of the south part of the island.

The volcano rumbles on and deposits ash even now. The volcanic activity is monitored and the island has become become the setting for a volcanic adventure holiday where you can experience the sights and smells of a live volcano from a safe distance.

The north part of the island is still very green and beautiful. All beaches, apart from one, have pale gray sand. There are plenty of opportunities for scuba diving, deep sea fishing and sailing.
