Monthly Caribbean Travel Guides
What's the best time of year to visit the Caribbean? What will the weather be like, how much will it cost, and what will be happening when I get to the islands? These questions and more are answered in my month-by-month guides to Caribbean travel.
Information on Caribbean Travel for Each Month of the Year

Fortunately, the weather in the Caribbean is delightful year-round (except for the occasional tropical storm or hurricane), but rates do vary seasonally, and of course every month brings its own unique events and festivals that you'll want to factor into your travel an…

Earth Day in the Caribbean
The nations of the Caribbean are a wonderful storehouse of environmental beauty, but the islands and delicate reefs of the region are also under threat from global warming and pollution.
