The Best Caribbean Islands to Visit, and What to Book

Waterfall climbs, catamaran trips, rainforest hikes and island tours, compared side by side.

Comparing the best Caribbean islands to visit is easiest when you look at what people actually do there. In Jamaica, the most-booked outings are the Dunn's River Falls climb, river rafting and a sunset at the Negril cliffs. In Puerto Rico they are El Yunque rainforest tours, kayaking a bioluminescent bay and walking tours of Old San Juan. Aruba is jeep tours of Arikok and snorkel sails, Barbados is catamaran cruises with turtles and Harrison's Cave, St. Lucia is the Pitons and the volcano at Soufriere, and the Turks and Caicos is snorkeling, boat trips and Iguana Island.

Each section below shows a few top-rated tours and tickets from Viator and Tiqets, ranked by traveler reviews, with a link to the island's full page. Book boat trips early in the week, since rough seas can cancel them and you will want time to rebook.
