The Caribbean islands are great vacation destinations for more than just escaping cold climates and enjoying a relaxing time at the beach. For those who want to experience more of what the islands have to offer, here are some of the most popular activities at the most in-demand tourist destinations at the Caribbean.

1. Taking photos with turtles. The turtle farm at the Cayman Islands is popular to tourists because it is a one of a kind attraction that gives people the opportunity to see and interact with live turtles – from adults weighing hundreds of pounds to tiny baby turtles that are smaller than a few inches.

2. Snorkeling and diving are also popular activities around the Caribbean. Tourists with a craving for adventure can visit coral reefs and even shipwrecks on the sea floor of waters near most of the islands. A little pricey, but vacationers with their own snorkeling gear can enjoy the sights for free.

3. Culture immersion is also recommended for more memorable trips. Visitors can stray from the usual tourist spots to see more of the culture of the Island their visiting. They can time their visits to certain months like July, when tourists can take part in the street dancing at the Carnival de Santiago de Cuba.

4. Vacationers with an interest in sailing can also sign up to be a deckhand or observe sailing week at Antigua.

5. Some Caribbean islands, like Jamaica, also have spots for bouldering, trekking, and climbing activities for adventures that move away from or toward the beach.
