Aside of course from the usual swimming and other water sports, there are many activities that you and your family can take part in during your Caribbean family vacation. What we have below are three excursions that can be both fun as well as educational.
Play with stingrays - Charter a glass-bottom boat to see the famous stingrays of Stingray City in Cayman Island. This shore excursion is so popular that many of the cruise ships that dock nearby recommend this to their passengers. You and your kids will be delighted as these amazing sea creature allow you to feed them with fresh fish. If you're more daring, you can sign up for the snorkeling package.
As this is a guided tour, you'll be acquainted with everything that has to do with stingrays and their natural habitat. In most cases, you'll be listening to this while another tour guide will be feeding stingrays and prodding them to approach the glass windows so you can take pictures of them.
Explore the underwater world in a sub - That's right, you can actually take an Atlantis submarine tour in Barbados. This is highly recommended for the whole family especially if your kids are too young to go snorkeling or scuba diving with you. The vessel has a huge glass window where you can see towering colorful corals, sharks, sea turtles, stingrays, moray eels, and of course, numerous schools of fish.
Since this is typically a guided tour, family members can learn a lot about aquatic wildlife. Other locations where you can find Atlantis submarine trips to integrate into your Caribbean family vacations are Aruba, Curacao, Grand Cayman, St. Martin, St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John. A typical submarine used for this excursion can seat 48 passengers. Try to get a front row seat because the best view is there.
Spot aliens in a massive observatory - Who says a Caribbean family vacation should always be water bound? NASA's SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) project is based in the Arecibo Ionospheric Observatory on the island of Puerto Rico. The main instrument of this facility is a colossal dish that can easily dwarf a football field.
If you thought that a Puerto Rico luxury vacation is all about beaches and tropical flora and fauna, well think again. This high-tech trip can definitely give your vacation some added variety.
