The La Mina Trail in El Yunque National Forest is the quintessential Puerto Rican hike, but it’s still in hurricane-recovery mode; in the meantime, the Mt. Britton Trail offers a short-but-challenging hike and amazing views from the stone recreation tower at trail’s end. here

Cruises allow you to visit multiple islands and always have a place to dine and lay your head at the end of the day. Plus, you'll know up front what it costs, other than your bar tab, which can really add up. Probably the biggest drawback to cruising is that you never seem to get enough time on shore to actually learn much about the places you are visiting. here

What kind of activities will you find in the Caribbean? In short, almost anything you can think of, from tours of historic homes and rum factories to river tubing, swimming with dolphins, submarine adventures, party buses -- even a ride on a Jamaican bobsled. Selection varies from destination to destination (places like Aruba and Jamaica, which get the most tourists, naturally have the most offerings), but no matter where you go you'll likely be able to dive, snorkel, take a boat ride, learn some local history, and book a general island tour.

Most Caribbean resorts are on a beach somewhere, but the same is not always true for hotels, B&Bs, or villas, so be sure to check first if sun, sand, and surf are high on your priority list. here

The Virgin Islands are divided between the British Virgin Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the division couldn't be more obvious. While the United States islands cater to tourists and offer many entertainment choices, the British islands are more secluded and quiet. There are three main United States Virgin Islands: St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. Although there are many more British Virgin Islands, the two largest islands are Tortola and Virgin Gorda. more

The Netherlands Antilles include Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, Saba, Sint Eustatius, and Sint Maarten. These Dutch islands are known for their excellent beaches and some of the region's best preserved reefs. Much of the Dutch influence is still visible on the islands, including their currency, their foods, and their pastel painted and gabled houses. Also interesting is the language in the Netherlands Antilles. The islands actually have their own language, called Papiamento, which is a mix of Spanish and Dutch, with some Portuguese, English, and African influences. here

Just like they sound, the French Antilles exude a French influence when it comes to culture, food, and lifestyle. They spread across 350 miles between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and include two volcanically active islands. The French Antilles are made up of two regions: the larger island of Martinique, and Guadeloupe, which comprises the six islands of Les Saintes, La Desirade, Marie-Galante, Saint-Barthelemy, and St. Martin. While tourism is a primary mainstay of the French Antilles economy, the islands are still known as some of the most peaceful and authentic islands in the entire Caribbean region. here
