By Timothy Gray


Taking a trip to the Caribbean can be quite a fun experience. This is whether you are organizing a romantic trip as a couple, you are travelling for business or as a family or you are travelling solo. So as to see the best of the islands, you can plan to go island hopping Bahamas. A lot of factors come into play when you do this, so knowing a few tricks will help you have a good experience.

Go when you have adequate time. Short trips may leave you longing to see more. If possible, organize to stay for at least three days, especially if you will be traveling from far. If you like your stay there, consider extending your stay for some more days. When planning for the trip, keep in mind the number of days that you will spend in transit to your location. However, it is also okay to plan for a short stay if that is all you can afford to organize for. A few days stay is better than not visiting the place at all.

Organize what you will do during your stay. Having a plan will prevent you from getting overwhelmed during your visit to the island. Since there are so many things to do and so many places to visit, having a plan will help to keep you focused. Also, you will get a good estimation of the amount of money to budget for once you know what you will be doing and the specific places you will be visiting.

There are different transportation methods that can be used to go to different places. Choose the option that will be more convenient for you. Ferry rides will be less costly and quite scenic as you move from place to place. Plane rides will be faster and more fun but more costly for you. You can also organize to have private flights by using private planes to some destinations. You also have the option of hiring a cab, which you can use to explore certain islands for a few hours one you get to your destination.

Having proper travel documents is essential. Citizens of certain countries do not have to get a visa so as to visit the Caribbean countries. Contact the embassy of the relevant country to find out more information. This will help you to be well prepared by the time you are traveling. Ensure to get travel insurance too.

Make sure that you have enough money for your trip in the local currency. There are some international currencies that are generally accepted. You may want to get some loose change in small denominations, which you can use to tip service providers.

Decide on the type of accommodation you would like. This varies, from luxury resorts to mid-sized hotels to small thatch roofed shacks. Your decision will be based on the kind of experience you are looking for and how much you can afford to spend.

The good thing about the Caribbean is that any time is travel time. You do not have to worry about enduring cold seasons. The weather is favorable throughout the year. However, if you travel during the time when most people will be traveling, be prepared to deal with crowds.
