Caribbean Travel Information

Of all the world’s beach holiday destinations, the Caribbean is truly special. Its unique geographic position means it enjoys beautiful weather year-round and offers travellers the perfect location to enjoy the best sun, sea and sand there is to be found - from the Bahamas, just off the coast of Florida, to the island paradise of Puerto Rico.

But basking in the sun isn’t the only fun you'll find in the Caribbean. Adventure lovers will adore the variety of underwater sports on offer, from exploring shipwrecks in the Cayman Islands to diving in Barbados. What’s more, Antigua and Barbuda is the perfect place to see unusual seabirds, while Saint Lucia’s volcanic peaks, The Pitons, are the ultimate Caribbean challenge for climbers.

The Caribbean’s cities and towns are also hotbeds of excitement: don’t miss the all-night parties of Havana in Cuba, the Dominican Republic’s cultural melting pot of Santo Domingo and the musical filled streets of Kingston, Jamaica.

Be Well-Prepared for Your Stay in the Caribbean

• Most Caribbean countries speak English, though in heavy local dialect. However, Cuba and the Dominican Republic are Spanish-speaking, Haiti is French-speaking and many languages, including Hindi, can be heard in Trinidad and Tobago.
• The Caribbean can be a very expensive holiday destination, and the Bahamas is particularly pricey. However, there are options for holidaymakers on a tight budget, like Cuba and Saint Kitts and Nevis.
• Time your visit for one of the Caribbean’s famous Carnivals. The most notable are Junkanoo in the Bahamas, La Vega in the Dominican Republic and Port of Spain’s annual Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago.
