So you’re planning a Caribbean vacation and you are wondering about what you want to see and do in this paradise on earth? Laying on the beach and soaking up the sun? Watching a spectacular island sunset? Or just snoozing away in a hammock beneath the palm trees? If this sounds to you like wasting your vacation time, and you want something more active, then fear not! The Caribbean offers a lot more than just sunbathing and picturesque sunsets. There are plenty of active and adventurous endeavors which will excite every thrill-seeker, from golf and tennis to water sports and underwater exploration. Eco-oriented visitors who love nature can enjoy the great outdoors. It’s up to you to decide which activities interest you the most, since the Caribbean has something for everybody.
Lots of Caribbean resorts and hotels have specially-designed packages for golf and tennis players. The major resorts have on-location tennis courts available for their guests, and by reservation for people who aren’t staying at the hotel. Often hotels and resorts with tennis courts offer tennis instruction, so even beginners can enjoy great tennis action. If you prefer spending your daytime hours in or on the surf or soaking up the sun, most hotels have lighted courts for nighttime play. Golf is also a popular reason why people vacation in the Caribbean: The year ’round tropical Caribbean weather is perfect for enjoying a laid-back game, or engaging in sharp competition. Many of the region’s golf courses are situated in breathtakingly beautiful settings beneath majestic mountains and surrounded by tropical greenery. There are great golfing experiences throughout the Caribbean, but particularly on the large islands. Most courses are available for visitors, and they offer rental equipment as well as golf lessons. Golfers will find courses which were designed by world-renowned course designers and players, with some of the best courses in Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic.
The azure waters of the Caribbean provide the backdrop to a wide variety of water sports like scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, waterskiing, and fishing. Beneath the calm waters lies a wondrous world of exotic and colorful ocean wildlife, including coral and brilliant fish. Caribbean vacations offer some of the best dive destinations in the world, and are home to hotels and resorts which specialize in diving and offer special packages for divers. You can rent equipment and take scuba lessons and certification. Or, you can try out snuba diving, which is a cross between snorkeling and diving. The many coral reefs, volcanic vents, and old shipwrecks are fascinating places to explore, and make for an unforgettable experience for adventurers of all ages. Fishing is another popular Caribbean activity since there are countless numbers of fish species living beneath the surface of the crystalline blue waters. Windsurfing is also a very popular water sport in the region and many resorts and hotels offer lessons for beginners. Also water rafting, kayaking, and parasailing draw fun seekers to the salty Caribbean waves.
