Know Before You Go
Insider tips from our Caribbean travel experts to help you plan the perfect island getaway.
💰

Book Early for Peak Season

December through April is peak season. Book your resort or cruise at least 6–9 months ahead for the best availability and rates, especially over the holidays.

🌊

Consider Shoulder Season

May and early June offer great weather with significantly lower prices. Many resorts run promotions, and you will avoid the peak crowds.

🚴

Island Hopping is Easy

Many Caribbean islands are connected by short flights and ferry services. Consider visiting multiple islands on a single trip for a richer experience.

📖

All-Inclusive vs. Independent

All-inclusive resorts offer great value and convenience, but independent stays let you explore local restaurants and hidden gems. We can help you decide which is right for you.

🌞

Pack Reef-Safe Sunscreen

Many Caribbean islands have banned harmful sunscreen chemicals to protect coral reefs. Bring reef-safe sunscreen to help preserve these fragile ecosystems.

💉

Travel Insurance is Essential

We always recommend comprehensive travel insurance for Caribbean trips, especially during hurricane season. We can help you select the right coverage.
