Tours and Excursions
We have noticed distinctively different vacation "styles" between Brits and Americans. The Brits may come to the Caribbean for two weeks and will seldom leave their resort. On the other hand, Americans tend to have shorter vacations into which they cram plenty of off resort tours and excursions.
If you plan to "veg" out on the beach, this article is not for you. But, if you want general information about things to do away from your resort, then read on.
Virtually all Caribbean destinations will have plenty of activities to choose from. These can be arranged before your trip but are just as easily arranged after arrival. Waiting until you arrive will allow you great flexibility. Your resort will have a "tour desk" manned by representatives of the local tour operators.
We will divide off resort activities into the following categories:
Sightseeing:
The tours will take you to see the natural scenery of your destination whether that is the rainforest in the mountains of St Lucia, or the windy and secluded east coast "Scotland district" of Barbados, or riding the old sugar plantation train around St Kitts. Be sure and watch for the green monkeys of Barbados and St Kitts.
Each island will feature historical sightseeing opportunities. The history of the Caribbean is tied to the colonial period of Europe going back over 400 years. Visit old forts, old sugar mills, and old plantations.
The local market is always worth visiting to check out the lush array of fruits and vegetables or local crafts (and T-shirts!).
Water excursions:
Each island will offer a variety of boating alternatives for a day at sea. These may be aboard a large catamaran, or pirate ship replica, or even your own chartered speedboat for private visits to remote snorkeling coves. Sometimes known as "booze cruises", rum punch is usually freely available on the day sails. Our clients often report that they day they chose to do a day sail was one of the highlights of their trip.
Horseback riding:
There are stables on most islands, and riding a horse on the beach may be just the adventure for you.
Dolphins and whales:
Whale watching excursions are available on some islands as well as "swim with the dolphins" possibilities. These are more limited.
Scuba and snorkeling:
This is easily arranged at your resort. Sometimes this is included in the price.
Jet skis:
These are always owned by locals who move up and down the coast from one resort to another seeking to rent their "wave runner" for an hour or so.
Local specialties:
Certain destinations have local attractions such as the river rafting of Jamaica. Be sure and check at your tour desk to see what your destination may offer.
We welcome guest articles. If you would like to offer an article for consideration, please send it to obie@dottravelnetwork.com.
