Introduction to – The Caribbean’s treasure
A volcanic legacy
Located in the Caribbean seas
Formed by nature like jewelry
You were crafted out to be
Montserrat, the Emerald Isle
39 ½ square miles of ham-shape beauty
Your greatness, your tranquility none can deny
Come explore this nature isle
Yes, Montserrat land of the Arrow the soca superstar
The oriole, heliconia, the mountain chicken and all
After you enter, via our hassle-free airport or seaport
You will agree, that is a magnificent island you see
It’s not just the lush green mountains, splendid flora and fauna
That makes this island unique
But its diverse culture, rich heritage and resilient people
Not forgetting its spectacular volcano
We will take you on an adventure
Of hiking, biking or perhaps diving
The Centre Hills is a must see
To get acquainted with the galliwasp and other endemic species
We will introduce you to the Soufriere Hills Volcano
And examine her handiwork
We will take time to pick some mangoes or roast some breadfruits
Take a beach bath or track some turtles
Drink some goat water, and then dance to Hot! Hot! Hot!
Or perhaps the String Band and Masquerade
39 ½ square miles is a whole lot to enjoy
So some time soon, you must return to the Emerald Isle
