While the majority of visitors to the Caribbean walk off a cruise ship and head straight for the beach, there are a wealth of sites, both historical and natural, throughout the islands that are fascinating and unvisited. This book covers more than 50 island nations comprehensively, from Anguilla to the Virgin Islands, with tips on getting around and exploring each island, whether you"re on a package vacation or travelling independently. It provides detailed reviews of the best places to stay, eat and drink, from all-inclusive holiday playgrounds to characterful tumbledown shacks. There is also practical information on the best ways to get out and explore each island, whether hiking in rainforest, diving around pristine reefs, or experiencing the local culture up close - plus tips on island-hopping.
