What are we all about

There are tens of great blogs and hundreds of impressive Instagram accounts about the Caribbean out there. In fact, every beach, mountain and adventure in the region has already been described many times over by these various guides. Our goal is not to compete with them, but to compliment them. We want to show you the side of the Caribbean that digs into the detail of what makes each place especially unique. For example, there are lots articles out there about the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, but are there any that list beaches most visited by Sea Turtles or by specific celebrities?

What you will find here

Of course, in order to be so granular we first have to cover the basics well. Therefore, we have published and will regularly update practical guides to every Caribbean island as well as share useful maps, recommend local companies and provide seasonal and weather related travel advice. However, most importantly, we want Exploring Caribbean to give voice to the many fantastic people who make the region such a great place to visit! Hence, expect us to publish many interviews and guest contributions from Caribbean business owners, bloggers, artists, athletes and more. And of course, if you want to collaborate with us, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
