If pictures of the Caribbean islands alone are not enough to tempt you, we have the top 7 reasons why you should visit an island of true paradise.

Before we crack on we would just like to straighten one thing out. Many of us don’t even look at holidays to the Caribbean, because we think it’s going to cost too much. However this isn’t always the case, as you can find some great low prices.

Beaches and picturesque views

One thing you must take with you is a camera, as the Caribbean is home to the most photogenic islands in the world.

Snorkelling
There is no better place to snorkel and explore the bottom of the tropical ocean than the Caribbean. It is full of stunning sea life including bottlenose dolphins, and the heated, sparkling water makes it easy enough to spot the multi-coloured tropical fish, turtles and reefs swimming at the bottom. You can experience snorkelling in many ways and the level of intensity is up to you; just book on to lessons available from your hotel. If you do wish to see dolphins, we would recommend taking a boat trip deeper into the ocean.
