Explore Caribbean
The picture perfect dream vacation exists here! Vacationers seeking crystal clear water, white sand beaches, and palm trees flock to the beautiful Caribbean. The Caribbean is formally divided into 13 sovereign island nations but is actually home to over 5,000 islands, reefs, and cays. Each island nation has something special to offer. You’ll find “tropical” similarities everywhere but each island has its own unique charm. The Caribbean is the perfect beach getaway for spring breakers, honeymooners, and tropical vacationers.
DESTINATIONS
HIGHLIGHTS
Best time to visit
The Caribbean islands enjoy a hot, tropical, and humid climate all year long. The drier and colder months between December and April are the best months to visit the Caribbean. A year long summer is very attractive during the grueling cold northern winter. Summer brings hurricane season which means daily rainfall and potential hurricanes. It can be very rainy mid-afternoon in the summer months. The shoulder months of April, May, and November can make for a pleasant trip (less touristy and expensive). During the shoulder months you’ll find less rain but slightly more humid weather. I highly recommend taking a trip between February and March for the best overall experience.
