The Caribbean Island-Hopper's Handbook

One sea, sixteen islands — and no single way to hop between them. Ferries that run on island time. Flights that connect everywhere except where you want to go. A traveller with one resort booked is safe; a traveller who wants the Caribbean itself can spend a holiday just figuring out how to move.

This 281-page handbook is the map for that traveller. It shows you how ferries and flights connect Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, St. Lucia and twelve more islands, how hurricane seasons shape planning, and how budgets differ from island to island — honestly, before you commit.

Inside are island atlases, crossing tables that put the routes in one place, a year in the islands, answers from the dock, specialist playbooks for different kinds of hoppers, worked budgets, and atlases of beaches, rum, music, nature and history. You will learn when to hop and when to stay, where to splurge and where to save, and how to enjoy the sea between the islands as much as the islands themselves.

This is for island-hoppers, beach lovers, culture seekers and first-time Caribbean travellers who want more than one island. It is not for the traveller who wants a single resort and nothing else — this book will keep tempting you onward, and that is the point.

A short guide sells you one resort. A complete handbook helps you build a hop.
