This award shows the hard work and the commitment of everyone at Island Routes to building a full service tour company. From working with local partners to enhance services and create added value, to providing first class destination management services and fun family snorkeling adventures, the company is committed to being the best in the region with the help of its partners and employees. We’ve taken first class service and safety standards people demand, and combined it with peerless local knowledge, and it’s proven to be a recipe for success.”

In addition to its status as the region’s greatest tour provider, Island Routes also offers full Destination Management services with an expert team of dedicated SITE accredited professionals handling all aspects of meetings, incentives and business groups.

The World Travel Awards were launched in 1993 to recognize excellence in the world’s travel and tourism industry. Votes are cast by industry professionals as well as the traveling public in more than 160 countries.

Island Routes Caribbean Adventures offers guests the ultimate in Caribbean destination experiences, bringing together and certifying the premier excursions that spotlight all that is unique and beautiful in each of its island locations. It defines the true island experience as a way of life.

The company is much more than tours and excursions; it inspires visitors to ‘live funner’, to get off the grid and dive into the heart of the islands where setting sail, grabbing the reins, exploring lush peaks and tasting rich flavours are the experiences that become lasting memories.

Island Routes has set the tour industry standard by becoming the only tour company to receive a Six Star Diamond from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences (AAHS), and has done so four years in a row.

It has also been awarded two TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Awards.
