Active in the Caribbean
Travelers to the Caribbean fall under different categories, There are those who opt to stay in a luxury resort on the beach, relax and have fun with friends or family on the beach under the clear blue skies. They go swimming in the sea or play volleyball or stroll on the beach or relax by the pool after a swim and rarely leave the resort premises. Leisure travelers may prefer to stay in a luxury resort on each island for a couple of days, sample the activities and the local food and take a sight seeing tour of the island before moving on. Spas in the Caribbean attract men and women in search of luxury and a place to recharge their batteries, with a spot of rest, relaxation and rejuvenation.
Water sports enthusiasts flock to the Caribbean for the excellent snorkeling and diving sites that the islands offer. Apart from the coral reefs and wall diving, various ship wrecks around the islands that date from the last decade to the last three hundred years attract divers. Spelunking to see the incredible stalagacite and stalagmite formations and underwater pools of crystal clear water is possible in Aruba or in Barbados. Water skiing, surfing, Jetskis, parasailing, banana boats and Hobie Cats are among the most popular water sports available at most luxury resorts.
Adventure tourism has taken off in a big way in the Caribbean, with white water rafting and river tubing drawing thrill seekers. Hiking and walking tours, mountain biking and rock climbing are also equally popular.
The Caribbean is also a popular wedding and honeymoon destination. Beach weddings and honeymoon packages are available at many of the top resorts in the region. Some resorts are exclusively for couples while others reserve a section of the estate only for couples. Spas in these hotels offer couples treatments and customized spa treatments for brides and grooms before their big day.
