Do’s
Pack lightweight clothing: cotton is best.
Bring sun protection, and apply frequently. Wear sunglasses and a hat.
Many islands will accept US dollars. However, it’s always a good idea to have at least some cash in the local currency for smaller purchases and tips
Pack a universal converter and adapter.
Visit the Caribbean from December to May. This window of time avoids hurricane season.
Check the latest foreign travel and safety advice given by your own Government.
Try the local rum!
Don’ts
Go topless or nude, it’s illegal on most islands (except on designated beaches on some French Caribbean islands)
Wear swimwear around shops or in the streets, it is frowned upon.
Wear camouflage-patterned clothing, it is an offence on many islands
Touch or damage coral when you are snorkeling or diving.
Be afraid to engage with the locals. Try the food, take the recommendations, and don’t forget to try the rum!
I hope these tips will help you on your next Caribbean journey!
