Group Travel to the Caribbean
You know that feeling when you're sitting at your desk, staring out the window, dreaming of crystal blue waters and sun-soaked beaches? Yeah, I know that feeling too.
I'm here to tell you to stop dreaming and start doing it! Round up your crew and turn that daydream into reality with an incredible group trip to the Caribbean.
I'll walk you through why it's the ultimate destination for a group getaway and how my company, Storymakers Travel, can help make it happen.
Why Head to the Caribbean with Your Travel Group?
First things first - why the Caribbean? Trust me, no place checks off more boxes for an epic group vacation. Here's a taste:
Something for Everyone
With thousands of islands to choose from, there's a perfect Caribbean destination for every interest. Jamaica for the culture lover, Puerto Rico for the history buff, Dominican Republic for the adventure seeker. You name it, the Caribbean's got it covered.
Strengthen Bonds
Exploring a new place together is amazing bonding fuel. Sailing island to island, trying local eats, navigating colorful markets - you'll come home with strengthened connections and inside jokes galore.
Easy to Reach, Easier to Love
With nonstop flights from the US and airports on every island, getting your group to and around the Caribbean is a total breeze. No passport? No problem in many places. And they use the good ol' USD here too.
Warm Welcomes
Another reason to love the Caribbean - the locals! I'm telling you, these folks are friendly, making your group feel right at home with their hospitality and smiles. The regional motto might as well be: the more the merrier!
Soak Up Fascinating Cultures
The Caribbean is a true melting pot, blending African, European, Asian and indigenous influences into a vibrant tapestry. Immerse your group in island life through:
Walking Tours
On foot is the best way to explore character-filled colonial quarters in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico or the pastel streets of Willemstad, Curaçao. Let a local guide you through their history.
Markets and Cuisine
Haggle for deals, snap pics and sample exotic fruits at bustling markets. Or learn traditional recipes and savor jerk chicken and rum cake where they were born - Jamaica.
Dancing and Music
Shake those hips and move to the rhythms of salsa, calypso, reggae, steel drums and more. Trust me, it's impossible not to feel the joy.
Carnivals and Festivals
Time your trip right to join high-energy Carnival celebrations in Trinidad, or experience culturally-rich festivals celebrating music, dance, and more.
Get Your Thrill On - Island Adventure Style
For outdoor-loving groups, the Caribbean is a massive playground. Top off your tan while:
Sailing Island to Island
With thousands of islands sprinkled like gems in the sea, sailing charter adventures make getting around spectacular. Plus, you can drop anchor at a new beauty each day.
Hiking Lush Rainforests
Climb gorgeous hidden waterfalls, keep watch for exotic birds, monkeys, or iguanas. Ramble Ruins and Heritage Hikes abound too. Don't forget your camera!
Paddle Boarding
Glide your board over crystal waters as you take in views of swaying palms and bright reefs below. Cocktail in hand is allowed.
Dune Buggies & ATVs
Rumble down jungles and along untamed beaches in these beasts built for max fun. Off-road is the only road here in the islands.
Ziplining & Heights
If your group loves aerial perspectives and a side of adventure, zipping through the canopy is a total thrill. The views are insane.
Relaxation, Island Style
Prefer doing absolutely nothing on vacation? Relatable. But doing nothing in paradise beats real life any day.
Blissful Beaches
Find your perfect spot to claim under breezy palms, at a chill beach bar, or stretched out letting the gentle waves melt your worries away.
Rejuvenating Spas
Get pampered at world-class spas and resorts where massage therapists have magic hands and lush botanicals heighten the chilled-out vibes.
Tropical Tasting Tours
Sip rum tastings, coffee tastings and more as you learn about each island's unique flavors. It's delicious cultural immersion.
Watersports at Your Pace
Reef snorkel, stand-up paddleboard, kayak bioluminescent bays, even try glass-bottom boats or semisubmersibles if you prefer dry viewing.
Top Group Destinations to Consider
Playing favorites is tough with so many amazing options, but a few Caribbean gems shine bright. Here's the cream of the crop for groups:
Lively, Legendary Jamaica
Jamaica fires up the fun meter with its welcoming locals, mouthwatering jerk chicken and pork, thundering reggae beats, and adventures like climbing Dunn's River Falls or rafting the jungle Martha Brae River. Don't forget to tour Bob Marley's home village too! Montego Bay and Negril serve up prime beaches, while Kingston brings on the urban vibes and history. Can you tell I love Jamaica?
Historic Puerto Rico
In Puerto Rico, cobblestoned Old San Juan transports you back centuries. Scale the towering fortresses, explore underground cave systems, and chill out on the glowing beaches of Vieques island. The local cuisine, music, and art delight the senses.
Thrilling Dominican Republic
The DR has it all - culture, beaches, wilderness and adventure! Get your fix of history in Santo Domingo before heading to epic Playa Dorada or Punta Cana for world-famous beaches. Outdoor escapes await in Samaná peninsula, rural Jarabacoa, and more.
Secluded Luxury in the BVIs
Craving privacy, serenity, and lavish comfort with your group? Then set sail for the British Virgin Islands. With 60 barely developed islands, you can live out your luxury island fantasies here, far from crowds and stress. Think: five-star dining, overwater villas, private beaches and your yacht parked outside. Paradise, I tell you!
