3 Tips for Getting the MOST out of Your Caribbean Getaway
Jan 23, 2017
Tired of the endless cold, gray skies, and mundane work weeks? There’s no better cure for the winter blahs than an exotic Caribbean getaway. This week, we’re highlighting the gorgeous U.S. and British Virgin Islands. Here are our tried and true tips for getting the most out of your trip to the Caribbean.
1. Know your islands.
This is your dream vacation. Make the most of it by doing your research and mapping out your must-see destinations before you ever leave the drudge of home-work-sleep-repeat. There’s fun in the planning!
Check out our suggested Hot Spots:
-
Choose Watermelon Cay if you want to swim with the sea turtles, hike the island, and explore beautiful coral reefs!
-
Honeymoon Beach is great for renting paddle boards and kayaks. Afterwards, kick back and sun on the white sandy beaches.
-
Cinnamon Bay is ideal for the surf enthusiast. Alternatively, escape the crowds and relax in the shade of the tropical sea grape trees.
2. Having trouble deciding which island to visit? Try all of them!
Chartering your own boat is the only way to explore all the U.S. and British Virgin Islands have to offer. Insider Tip: Look for a company that offers knowledgeable boat captains. You want someone who knows the area and can map out a custom itinerary uniquely catered to your interests. Someone who can get your party to all the best local hotspots before sunset. Best case scenario? A local born and bred boat captain who knows how to have fun.
3. Don’t miss the best snorkeling in the Virgin Islands.
Grab some quality snorkeling gear, dive into the emerald crystal clear waters, and prepare to be amazed. Our top picks:
-
Trunk Bay – With a clearly marked trail, this one’s great for first time snorkelers!
-
Hurricane Hole – Dive into the mangrove forest roots for a surreal experience.
-
The Baths – There’s plenty of exotic beauty to explore, whether you fancy shallow water or braving the caves.
Insider Tip: Rent a boat to escape the crowds and access secluded, otherwise inaccessible beaches and coral ledges. Don’t forget your underwater camera!
