There is no shortage of activities in the
Caribbean. You may be content to rest in a hammock or tan on a tropical
beach, or you may prefer exploring the islands for adventure and local
color. Whatever you choose, you'll need a mode of transportation to get you there.� Luckily, getting around the islands is easy--there are numerous transportation options to suit all tastes and budgets. Renting a car may offer the most freedom if you want to get around the islands of the Caribbean on your own time and take the course you choose. On many Caribbean islands, however, cars are not recommended as your primary form of transportation due to road hazards or local driving ordinances that may be unfamiliar to foreign drivers, or are simply not allowed. Taxis or buses may be your best transportation bet if you need some navigation assistance or route tips--buses are usually the most affordable type of transportation on any island, while some cab drivers will provide narrated tours for an additional fee. To really get the lay of the land, try out the back roads on bicycles, scooters, or motorbikes. These are available to rent for a nominal fee. Ferries are also widely available and ideal for travelers who want to visit multiple islands. The services available throughout the Caribbean do vary and public transportation may not always be reliable, so check ahead before charting your Caribbean course. Related Articles
