Not just a destination for couples, Caribbean vacation packages can cater to entire families, with activities for every age group.
The Caribbean is often portrayed in movies and books as arguably the ultimate resort destination for couples and retirees. The almost year-round good weather makes the islands ideal for rest and relaxation while on vacation. The same weather, however, is now beginning to appeal to eco-tourism groups who wish to enjoy the protected and untouched remote areas of the islands as well as the resorts.
Much of Bonaire, for example, is part of the Washington-Slagbaai National Park, and the waters are within the boundaries of the STINAPA National Marine Park where the environment is protected. Families can enjoy the island’s pristine waters and natural beauty through various outdoor activities such as snorkeling, sailing, kayaking and more.
Vacation packages in the Caribbean can come with snorkeling or scuba lessons for kids, which can also include fish identification lessons and other fun activities. For young adults, on the other hand, the islands offer numerous clubs that play all kinds of music from jazz, to reggae and even rock and roll. They can experience sunsets and sunrises by the bonfire on the beach while their parents dine in elegant settings on gourmet cuisine or indulge in the amenities of one of the Caribbean famous resorts.
To really get the family together, boat tours and charter boats are a great way to get around from island to island. For convenience and discounted rates, these can often be included with Caribbean vacation packages.
