Quick answers to common planning questions — focused on logistics and how to structure a trip around your activities.
Most travelers plan around beaches, boating and yachting, snorkeling and diving, fishing, ecotourism, dining, tax-free shopping, family adventures, and destination weddings.
Boating days, ecotourism, quiet beaches, many diving and fishing trips, and family excursions often shine on the out islands where the pace is slower and the water is less crowded.
Start by choosing your must-do experiences, then pick the island(s) closest to them. The most efficient itineraries usually minimize transfers and keep mornings simple.
