Some of the most popular destinations and activities in the Western Caribbean are listed below for you to consider.
Belize: Belize’s 185-mile barrier reef is the largest in the Western Hemisphere, and the Scuba diving and snorkeling are world-class. Other typical Belize excursions include cave tubing and visiting Mayan sites like Altun Ha.
Montego Bay, Jamaica: Montego Bay is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, such as Doctor’s Cave Beach. This port is also the place for crafts and duty-free shopping, golfing, and stopping at local bars.
Ocho Rios, Jamaica: Dunn’s River Falls is the adventure in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Hike 600 feet up a waterfall, surrounded by lush foliage, as the water comes crashing down onto a sandy beach.
Instead of the traditional motorcoach ride to the falls, consider a shore excursion that arrives at the falls via sea kayak. If you’ve done that, take the family to the Mystic Mountain rainforest adventure park for zip line swings, bobsled rides and twisty waterslides.
Roatan, Honduras. Roatan is the largest of Honduras’ Bay Islands. Almost 40 miles long and just 2.5 miles at its widest point, the remote island boasts white sand beaches, pristine bays and spectacular coral reefs. For tourists, Roatan’s charm is its barrier reef system — the second largest in the world! — and its appeal for diving and snorkeling.
