2 Weeks in Caribbean
2 adults (late 30's)
2 Weeks Budget - 4500 + Air Looking to spend 2 weeks on 3 different islands. We would like part of the time to be very secluded but also want to spend some of the time hanging with locals, live music, some adventure. I love Turks and Caicos but not a necessity. We do want to stay away from the touristy areas but also keep within budget. Any suggestions??? |
2 weeks what time of year? How many persons?
So around $321 nightly? Island hopping is expensive, not very dependable, and only in groupings (or loose 3-4 days in travel and backtracking) You could do Barbados/Grenada (Barbados more expensive) St. Martin/St. Barts/Anguilla (ST. Martin affordable, so stay put and day trip, other 2 islands expensive) You can combine British and US VIrgin Islands You can try to combine Out Islands in Bahamas, but requires small planes and backtrack to Nassau Cayman/Brac and Little Antigua with Barbuda (Barbuda expensive) Puerto Rico with Culebra and Viesques Island Hopping in general is not easy in Caribbean! |
Thank you for the speedy reply!!!
We will be traveling in July (off season) I should have said 10 days instead of 2 weeks. That's probably more practical. |
St Martin-St Barts-Saba in 12 days, St Martin-Anguilla-Saba in 12 days, Antigua-Montserrat in 10 days have all been personally done before. I would add St Kitts-Nevis to Blamona's list, although I haven't actually done it.

I would not try to do 3 islands with only 10 days.
I love Negril Jamaica. |
Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire.
In Jamaica stay in hotels located in Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril. All 3 sections of the Island is so very different it's like staying in a different destination. Fly to Barbados and do day trips to St. Lucia, Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Hawaiian Islands or take a cruise and get in several Islands at once. Island hopping is not a easy as people might think. Unless there is a ferry or local puddle jumper airplane you will have to return to Miami or Puerto Rico to get to another Island. $4,500 + air is really not a lot of money for what you are wanting to do. A cruise would be more cost efficient if you want to island hop. |
Agree with Blamona's list -
St martin and Anguilla (you can fly into St martin and take the ferry over to Anguilla for a completely different exp) Tortolla for a week (with day trips to Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke) and St John for the other week. No extra plane travel involved. |
