Dreaming of a trip to the Caribbean? With warm climates year-round, white sandy beaches and refreshing turquoise waters it's the perfect getaway for winter and summer alike.

Bahamas - Want to find the best (free) beaches near Nassau? We've got you covered with some DIY shore excursions so you can save your money for more margaritas!
Cuba - Prepare to be transported back in time because from the moment you step off the plane or ship in Havana, you'll feel like you're on the set of an old-school-cool Hollywood film.
Dominican Republic - this tropical paradise has beautiful beaches to explore and seriously fun waterfalls you can slip and slide your way down.
Virgin Islands - The British and US Virgin Islands are home to possibly the most stunning beaches in the Caribbean.

It is - we assure you - because most of the crowds won't know how to get here without $200 excursion - we'll show you how to do it for a fraction of that price.
