Canada’s winter months, December – March, are the perfect time to head to the Caribbean. Picture turquoise waters, soft sand beaches, rows of palm trees, soaring mountains and colorful reefs. The Caribbean has it all! The ultimate relaxing vacation awaits you.
Fancy swimming with stingrays in the Cayman Islands? Perhaps hiking through the El Yunque Natonal Forest in Puerto Rico is more your cup of tea? Are you a fan of the real reggae beats? Want to snorkel through Champagne Reef in Dominica? The Caribbean is a rich pocket of islands, all with character of their own, where you can do just about anything.
Here are some of our favourites:
Aruba
If you’re looking for a collection of beaches, paired with luxury resorts and fancy bars then this is the island for you. Aruba has a dry climate with limited rainfall, meaning that this island is good for soaking up the rays on the beach and doing absolutely nothing.
Cayman Islands
Head to Grand Cayman for bright coral reefs and vibrant beaches. With shipwrecks, stingrays and a seven mile beach – this island is perfect for anyone that wants to spend time in the water!
Jamaica
Jamaica is the birthplace of reggae so this is definitely the place to experience some authentic music. Admire the lush mountains, rainforests and beaches. There are all kinds of activities available for you to try in Jamaica, including 4X4 Off-Road adventures, Jungle tubing and river rafting. This is the ideal location for an action-packed vacation – there is literally so much you can do!
St. Lucia
Discover gorgeous views of secluded beaches and untouched rainforests on the island of St. Lucia. The island oozes with romance and is a dream for couples! Definitely consider visiting if you love being surrounded by nature.
We recommend taking a cruise to see the Caribbean – this way you can visit more than one island and have a well-rounded experience!

If a cruise is not for you then there are plenty of other options to get you out in the Caribbean.
