The low season in the Caribbean runs from May to October, but note that from June to October is also hurricane season. If you go south of the Dominica Republic, it is unlikely to suffer the ravages of a hurricane. However, if one heads north, you should be vigilant and keep an eye on weather reports.


Go camping
 Bring a tent or hammock camping is one of the best decisions you can do to save money. Some islands are better than others camping, camping areas can be found in Martinique, St. Lucia and Dominica Republic, with all necessary facilities and very affordable camping fees. Some islands have camping areas, but they have a lot of beautiful and isolated beaches to spend the night, yes, your responsibility. Security could come to meet him, to plan for free camping on the beach, but it is very unlikely that you will have any problems, but surely receive a reprimand. Just try to find a beach without any nearby town, and the beaches of Carriacou, Grenadines and Barbuda. And if you're in the right season, you may even see leatherback turtles at night.

Eat what the locals eat
 What is produced in the islands is cheap. The options are not very diverse, such as rice and beans are always on the menu. Fruit is another great choice, freshly picked from fresh mangoes, to bananas, papayas and other tropical fruits that are abundant and delicious throughout the Caribbean. We must not forget the drinks, a mandatory tip is to take soft drinks or other beverages such as beer are surprisingly cheap, but make sure that the opening in his presence, it is not advisable to drink from public fountains or tap water as we could get an intestinal virus. Whenever you are in a big city, try to visit the local market, there are usually plenty of stands around them, where you can get cheap meals and have a chat with the locals.

Boats used whenever possible
 Cargo ships are one of the cheapest options, but they are rare and do not go to all the islands, it is also very difficult to find schedules, or any type of programming if it is not on the island, because you have to go to port in person. Local boats tend to be cheaper, but are available only for short distances. The quality of ships varies, so you have to be very patient as the engine type and size you have.
