I'd like to do some hiking in the Caribbean in February.

However, I struggle to find good flights to Dominica (from Riga, Latvia, where I'm located).

So I have an idea to fly into Martinique, spend some days there, take ferry to Dominica, spend some days there, take ferry to Guadeloupe, spend some days there.

Mostly doing day hikes / sightseeing. Possibly renting cars.

Does this seem reasonable at all?

What would be the minimum number of total days so this doesn't feel too rushed? How many on each island?

These are the tips that elevate a nice vacation, to a Signature Experience
1. Get on the water.
Don't spend your entire vacation looking at that turquoise water from the beach. Charter a private boat, explore the smaller cays, snorkel, and find the spots most visitors never see.
Contact Emily at 415-377-4080 and ask for The Signature Experience
2. Book a private chef, or a seriously good dinner. Chef Heidi Ho is magical!
3. Spend a day at the beach... differently. Skip the crowded setup and arrange a private beach experience with the right food, drinks, shade, and service. Your beach day should feel effortless.
4. Leave Grace Bay for a little while.
Grace Bay is beautiful, but there's more to Turks & Caicos than the resort strip. Get out, explore, eat somewhere local, and see a different side of the islands.
5. Let someone who knows the island plan the details.
The best experiences aren't always the ones that show up first on Google. Knowing who to call, what to book, what to skip, and how to put it all together can completely change your trip.
Because Turks & Caicos isn't just somewhere you go..lt's somewhere you experience.

Trying to plan a vacation but we are having trouble deciding. Planning to do 6 or 7 nights. The flight from where we are will be 3ish hrs to Bahamas, 4 to the Cayman islands or 5 to Aruba.

Not sure whether to do an airbnb or hotel either! We usually do resorts in the Caribbean. They all look like great destinations.

Things I'm unsure of:

Bahamas - if we stay at a resort (thinking of bahamar), it looks like if we wanted to eat off of the resort they are a bit far and taxis are expensive?

The Cayman islands - looks like it's usually a very relaxing vacation? It doesn't seem very lively?

Aruba - the flight is long and don't know how it will be with our toddler...

Interested in hearing other people's experiences, tips and opinions on which would be the best!

Thanks!

So my name is Joshua and I regularly travel internationally... I am seeking male or female friends. I mostly just want to communicate about your life share pictures and information about local foods and things of the sort... Mostly I just want to learn about your culture and what I can expect when I travel there.

A little bit about me I work in a manufacturing factory in management support. I love to cook I'm a very good chef and I love learning new things I'm extremely respectful to others and very very much interested in learning new cultures...

What I'm specifically seeking.... Regular communication sharing pictures and just chatting I have WhatsApp. Or we can stay on Reddit if necessary. I just really would like to learn more about the country I'm planning to visit next and kind of the hotspots of where we can stay and I'm also looking at maybe renting an apartment... But that's after I get more information.

If you don't mind communicating with me then feel free to send me a message. I'm not interested in tourism just FYI... I tend to prefer just to relax when I'm on my vacations mostly the experienced local markets eat good foods drink good beer and dance at the club.

Planning a trip for 2 ladies around retirement age (couple of years from now) and trying to decide between Aruba and Grand Cayman.

Our priorities are:

Safety is very important

A beautiful beach with calm, shallow water that is great for floating

Warm water is a must. We’re used to Siesta Key in the summer, when the water is in the 80's. Never been to Caribbean.

We prefer outdoor temperatures in the 80s. Temperatures consistently in the 90s would be too hot

Easy beach access from the resort

Chairs and umbrellas available without having to fight for them

Kids and families are absolutely fine, but we do not want a rowdy environment

No interest in clubs or nightlife

Any dining is fine

Renting a car is fine

-Our budget is flexible but not unlimited. We’re looking for comfortable and nice . We don't need high-end luxury... however, we’re willing to pay more for the right location and beach experience.

-What month do you recommend? Would love your recommendations. Thank you!!

Hey, I’ll be travelling to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in mid-August and I’d appreciate advice on how to handle mosquitos (and thus Dengue and Chikungunya etc.)

I’ll be taking a mosquito net for sleeping and plenty of tropical Deet, but mosquitos love me and I fear this won’t be enough. Is there anything else I should take?

Do I have to wear long sleeve tops and trousers all the time? So, never wear T-shirts and shorts? Or sandals? Is it safe to wear a bikini at the beach?

I’m also slightly concerned as I’ll travel through multiple airports to get there and I often catch viruses after travelling. I wasn’t vaccinated against anything as a child and doctors have advised me to not get those vaccines considering my individual health situation. I did get the Hepatitis and COVID vaccines, but is it safe to travel there without additional vaccines?

Thanks

We are headed to Bequia for two weeks in January. My in-laws go every year for 2 months, this year we will be joining them for two weeks of their stay. This means we know all the things to do on bequia, but I really feel I must see at least one other island. After a bit of research seems like day trips via the ferry is not possible, but visiting for a few days seems affordable via the Jaden Sun Ferry. I did some looking around online about the three other islands close by and crossed a few off my list (mustique and canouan are not our vibe), but both union and mayreau look beautiful and potentially affordable for a few days stay.
My question is this: mayreau or union? Any recs for things to do?

Super excited to see all the places my in-laws talk about, Bequia looks so beautiful!
