Caribbean Excursions

Answering that could get us in trouble! We love them all. If you are interested in history, we would lean towards suggesting places in the Eastern Caribbean. If you want more fun/action – then the Western Caribbean may be better for you.

The Caribbean is known for its constantly warm temperatures, fantastic beaches and amazing snorkeling! Additionally, the varying cultures make the Caribbean very interesting as the French, Spanish, Dutch, British and others had settlements here.

Regardless of travelling on a cruise trip or a resort vacation – people love the Caribbean due to the warm temperatures and relatively close location to most population centers in the United States and Canada.

Seafood is always very popular as is many fruit-based foods. In certain parts of the Caribbean, poultry and pork are also very popular. Additionally the worlds best rums hail from the Caribbean.

The weather in the Caribbean can be best described as hot & humid. The temperatures remain fairly constant in the low-80’s Fahrenheit (low-20’s Celsius). April, May and June will see higher temperatures and the months with the most rain will be July through November. Although rainfall daily is very common in the Caribbean – its “no problem mon!” as its usually very brief.
