It can be humid, but the cooling trade winds make the climate very comfortable. The rainy season is in the autumn, and the amount of rain varies across the islands. Winters are dry, but you may encounter the occasional shower. The mountains see more rain. Hurricane season lasts from early June to late November.

Getting around Caribbean

For getting around an island you can take a taxi or rent a car, and there’s usually a bus system. The buses usually cover all main and several minor destinations as the locals take the buses, too. Depending on which island you are visiting, the buses may run on a when-the-bus-is-full schedule rather than a timetable. Many of the islands also have rental mopeds, motorcycles, and bicycles that you can use for sightseeing and getting around.

If you’ll be travelling from one island to another in the same group, there are often options for travelling by boat or island ferry. There are also small island airlines for cheap flights around the Caribbean as well as the larger commercial carriers for flights between islands. Many of the larger airlines offer Caribbean air passes, some for a set number of stopovers, and others for unlimited Caribbean travel within the airline’s range.

  • What is the best way to travel around the Caribbean?

    After flying to the Caribbean, there are plenty of ways to hop between the islands. A cruise or ferry is the scenic option but does not link every island as planes do. The Caribbean is abundant with regional airlines that will get you to any island inexpensively, especially if you can find good Caribbean flight deals. But for the ultimate in freedom, renting a sailboat will allow you to explore the calm waters of the islands at leisure.

Make sure your passport is up to date, as six months of validity may be required at your time of entry to the Caribbean. When it comes to money, make sure to inform your bank of your holiday destination so that your cards aren't at risk of being blocked. Keep some cash with you as there might not always be an ATM around; US dollars are widely accepted on many of the islands.
