LIAT TRAVEL GUIDE & INFORMATION

The diversity of the Caribbean makes it a

wonderful region to explore whatever your

tastes or interests. Across all our destinations

there really is something for everyone, but if the

choice seems almost overwhelming, fear not:

this comprehensive country guide will help you

discover the basics about each of the fantastic

locations LIAT flies to, and we’ll focus on one

particular island in more detail in every issue.

We’d like to show that although the Caribbean

may be known across the globe for its beautiful

beaches, travellers shouldn’t underestimate the

range of opportunities to learn more about

the culture and lifestyle of each destination,

or to indulge in a favourite pastime or passion.

Eating out across the region is a real experience

as well, and festivals or special events can

turn a simple night out into an evening full of

memorable entertainment. Every country has its

own special appeal, and on the following pages

you can read the key facts about each, gain

some insider tips, see what’s new and discover

the key highlights to look out for. Use these

guides and consult the map on the previous

page to help you plan your itinerary.

INSIDER TIP:

“Kiteboarding in Antigua is a

hidden gem. If I just want to

hang out I love Half Moon

Bay’s natural beauty. My

favourite place to eat is

Papa Zouk’s in St John’s.”
