Summary: Another great video!
Review: Highly recommend Caribbean Beaches! I've never been to the Caribbean but feel as though I have after viewing this great DVD! Images are crisp and clear, and the water looks so inviting and realistic -- if I get just a little closer to my TV screen, perhaps I might even be able to feel the waves lapping at my toes. RX for a stressful day: pour yourself a Margarita, pop in the DVD, crank up the sound of the ocean waves, turn on your ceiling fan (for a cool simulated ocean breeze), and you're there!!!!!

Review: I love going to be beach!! It is so relaxing, calming and soothing. Since I live a few states away from any beach, I don't there very often. This DVD is awesome!!!! I had never seen a DVD like this before. The scenery was beautiful. The sounds crisp and clear. I'm sure it would be incredible on a large screen tv-especially a HDTV. I highly recommend this DVD and can't wait to purchase the Virgin Islands DVD.

Summary: Just like being there
Review: I really enjoyed this DVD. I just returned from a relaxing trip to the tropics and on my return was almost immediately confronted by all the stress that accompanies a normal life in the US. It was so nice to to have the new Carribean Beaches DVD from Waves.

I really like the realism of Waves the best. I travel a lot and Waves brings back all the great sights and sounds of my vacations, very relaxing. I hope they do a Thailand edition.

Summary: The Best Caribbean Beaches
Review: This dvd lives up to it's claim.The picture is sharper than the other ones were and the sound is crisper.This dvd features beautiful beaches and I do mean beautiful from the Caribbean,Bahamas and the Virgin Islands.The waves on all of these islands is lapping and in most of the footage you see full ocean views and waves washing on the shore and pulling way back.You also see some sunsets.Due to the sharper picture the waves look very blue and green and clear toward the shore.Also the breaks are a lot shorter and quicker than the Califoria and Hawaiia ones.Here's a more descriptive look at what I saw in these.

Day 1
Abaco
Shot 1
Full ocean view.You see the back of the ocean to the sand with lappers that wash upon the sand and then pull back.
Shot 3
Similar Views as 1

Day 2
Eleuthera
Shot 1
Very gentle waves lapping upon the sand
Shot 2
Ocean Views and Lapping waves of Eleuthera
Shot 5
Bigger lapping waves but still small

Day 3
Rose Island
Shot 1
Ocean Views Of Rose Island The Ocean is deep blue with and green to clear toward the shore with the waves washing over the shore.
Last Shot
Sunset Over Lapping Waves

Day 4
St.John
Shot 1
Ocean Views of St.John the waves are very beautiful with deep colors and there lapping over the shore.
Shot 3
There is some gulls in the distance

Day 5
Tortola
Shot 1
Oceanviews of Tortola with mountains in the background and lapping waves.
Shot 2
Even Gentlier lappers
Shot 3
Slightly Bigger lappers pull in and pull back out and they are very beautiful.

Day 6
Virgin Gorde
Shot 1
This shows some pretty big boulders in the ocean.
Shot 2
This was a beautiful shot with the ocean surrounded by boulders.
Shot 3

The bonus features on this dvd are as follows:
Island and Day Selection

Preview trailers which consist of video clips of the Hawaiia and California ones as well as the Caribbean,Bahamas,Virgin Islands and the Florida One.The Florida one is very beautiful and breathtaking from the quick clip it shows.

Beach Subtitles Turn this on and it tells you were your at on each island.

Loop Play

When you watch this dvd it is like you have your own private beach on the caribbean.It is very relaxing and the future ones promise to bring more views.The Bahamas one will feature lighthouses.The Virgin Islands will feature diving pelicans.I can't wait to see that.Caribbean Daydreams will have 6 9 minute scenes and is loopable.Judging from the Florida trailer the Florida one will have some nice looking waves and white sand.And I love the new look of the coverart with the blue skies in the background.Also these are just with natural sounds with no music or narration.I also recommend the following wave vacation series dvds to go with these.

Vol 2
Hawaiian Zen
Vol 3

Review: This must be the next set of beaches in the series. I have the California and Hawaii vidoes. I find this product to be an improved version of "Waves". The dvd has many upgrades including a sharper picture and sound. I like the quick transitions that seems to flow more and with less graphics. It is no longer ment to be watched in 10 minute segments. This new DVD flows through all of the segments quickly, easily, and effortlessly with a simple fade in and fade out between segments and without the graphics. ( six in all)
I alert others that this is not an IMAX film, rather it is a Digital Video and stereo sound. I find the product to be an intimate time on the beach like a daydream with the lapping of waves...its still beautiful and soothing like the entire series just a bit more mature.
I don't mind telling all of you, that as a relaxsation DVD, I can put all the stress of my life aside as I watch this spectacular view in all its' glorious color, refreshing sound, suspended beauty and natural surroundings. I am so impressed with the quality and serenity of these beaches. I have begun to save my dollars so I too can see this marvilous place for myself.
Thank you for putting me at rest anytime I find my life unravelling at the seems. Your series again has helped me to cope the day to day axiety of working in a big city.
