Caribbean Sea

Spread over more than a million square miles, harboring dozens of major islands and bordering on several of those islands as well as a number of countries in Central and South America, the Caribbean Sea is best known for its clear aquamarine waters, coral reefs, palm-tree-lined beaches, and polyglot of cultures, including African, Spanish, French, British, and Dutch influences. While two-thirds of its visitors arrive by large cruise ship, small cruise ships also ply its waters, and there are many opportunities for snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking, and historical and cultural exploration along with the beach-going.

Top Caribbean Sea Experiences

Costa Rica – The Sea Turtle Initiative by Discover Corps

Truly fake. Similar to visiting ‘Paris’ in Vegas.

Truly fake. Similar to visiting ‘Paris’ in Vegas.

It is advertised as volunteering, family friendly and building international network to help undeveloped countries and nature where scientists are involved. The reality is that it is a typical student back-pack trip. There are no activities for children under 12 to participate too either fun or educational. Young, good natured girls are not scientific personnel and the local people disliked anything American. It felt like a prison and a ‘ghetto’ where you devise a cause, do something without the community’s support that deeply affects their lives (ex-poachers) and be high-minded that you are actually helping. Social division, looking down on people and experiencing poverty is not what I wanted to participate in. I am very upset that this has happened and that no one was interested afterwards.
