Essential Travel Tips - Caribbean

The Caribbean is a paradise region made up of dozens of islands with white sandy beaches, coconut palms, tropical climate, breathtaking landscapes, and of course, a lot of fun. It is a fascinating destination, much sought after by tourists from all over the world, as well as being on the itinerary of several sea cruises.

You can choose to explore the Bahamas or Antigua Islands on a beautiful boat trip, enjoy delicious food in one of Anguilla Island's 5-star restaurants, or cool off in the waterfalls, beaches and botanical gardens of Santa Lucia Island.

For those who prefer to relax, Curacao Island has several spas to recharge. For those who enjoy luxury, there are several luxury hotels in Cancun and the Dominican Republic, as well as on Saint Bart's Island, where you will find luxurious options with a French twist.

And for travelers who enjoy music, dancing, and parties, Aruba has several nightclubs, casinos, shows, and beach barbecues. In addition, you can dance on the swing of famous Caribbean musical rhythms such as reggae, merengue and calypso.

With so many leisure and fun options, it's important to remember that unforeseen events can occur during your trip. So, check out below how World Nomads travel insurance can help you and your family travel smart and safe.

Coverage for Medical, Hospital and Dental Expenses

Tropical diseases like Yellow Fever, Zika, Malaria, Dengue, Chikungunya virus, are present in the Caribbean. Before you travel, please check out the recommended vaccines on the islands you will visit and keep your vaccinations up to date. Also, use a good repellent during your trip.

Cuba and Venezuela require travel insurance with medical coverage for tourists. When planning your trip, check the health hazards on the islands you will visit, and remember that “prevention is better than cure”.

In the event of an accident or sudden illness, our travel insurance can help you and your family with emergency medical, hospital and dental expenses, medical transfers and body transfers. In addition, our staff provides 24/7 assistance in emergencies.

Routine medical consultations, non-emergency situations, epidemics and pandemics are not covered, as long as they are declared by competent agencies.

Sports, adventure activities

The Caribbean Islands offer numerous opportunities for water sports and adventure activities. In the Cayman Islands, for example, adventurers will find one of the world's most amazing diving areas, with beautiful reefs and even shipwrecks at the bottom of the sea. In addition, visitors will have the opportunity to swim and feed the rays in the famous Sting Ray City, or go kayaking and fishing around the island. However, it is worth remembering that accidents happen even to the most experienced practitioners.

Our travel insurance covers over 180 sports and adventure activities. Our coverage includes accident, medical, hospital, and ambulance expenses, as well as urgent message transmission to family members in case the insured is unable to contact their family.

Check the list of covered and non-insurance sports and adventure activities in the insured's manual.

Natural disasters

The Caribbean Islands are located on the Caribbean tectonic plate, where there is a volcanically active zone. This means that natural disasters such as storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes can occur in the region.

So be aware of the risk areas and warnings issued by the relevant agencies, as well as information on how to proceed in case of natural disasters.

World Nomads does not cover accidents resulting from natural disasters.
