Travel in the Caribbean is incredible… but planning it can feel like a full-time job.
That’s why DontTalkJustTravel exists: to give you clear, practical, real-world guides—especially for Caribbean ferries, island hopping, and comparing destinations—so you can stop endlessly scrolling and start booking with confidence.
What you’ll find here
I focus on the stuff travelers actually need (and Google usually makes annoying to find):
- Caribbean ferry routes (what’s real, what’s not, how to book, what it costs)
- Island comparisons (Culebra vs Vieques, Costa Rica vs Panama, etc.)
- Where to stay + what to do (simple neighborhood picks, tour ideas, and quick itineraries)
- Trip planning essentials (packing lists, safety, reef-safe sunscreen, eSIMs, and budget tips)
If you’ve ever asked: “Can I get from Island A to Island B without flying?”—you’re in the right place.
How we create guides you can trust
Every guide is written to be actionable and skimmable:
- Quick answers at the top
- Step-by-step planning sections
- Common mistakes to avoid
- Helpful FAQs
- When it makes sense, a short Spanish section for bilingual travelers
I also update posts when routes, pricing, or rules change, because Caribbean travel info can shift fast.
My style: simple, honest, and practical
I’m not here to pretend every place is perfect.
I’ll tell you:
- what’s worth it
- what’s overrated
- what to book early
- what to skip
- and how to avoid wasting money
