11 Caribbean Countries That are Now Open For Tourism

Dreaming of an island vacation in 2021? It might actually be in the cards this year, if you're willing to read through the fine print. The islands that make up the Caribbean have been in various stages of reopening since June 2020, with many countries open to tourists who are willing to be tested before departure or have been fully vaccinated. Here's what each island requires from visitors who are thinking of hoping on a flight this year:

# Anguilla

The Caribbean island is open to pre-approved tourists from certain countries. It requires prospective travelers to apply in advance and submit a negative PCR test, taken within three to five days, upon arrival. You will then take a second test upon arrival, a third on day 10 or 14 and one more on departure. While on the island, visitors must remain in an approved location for at least 14 days.

Visitors 12 years old and older are required to arrive with a negative PCR test from within seven days of their flight. All travelers will have to register with the Ministry of Health Wellness and the Environment and there is a recommended quarantine period of 14 days during which the health authority may require further PCR tests.

# Aruba

Prior to arrival, travelers have to complete an online immigration card, purchase Covid-19 health insurance, and show proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of arrival. Alternatively, you can opt to take a PCR test on arrival, then self-isolate at a hotel until results are ready.

# The Bahamas

Travelers must test negative for COVID-19 within five days of departure and apply for a Bahamas Health Travel Visa which requires you to opt-in to mandatory Covid health insurance (paperwork must be shown to board the flight and upon arrival). A second, rapid antigen test must also be taken on day five of the visit. Visitors must also self-report their condition via a daily health questionnaire for up to 14 days, or for the duration of their stay. Be aware that inter-island requires an online health application and possibly another PCR test, too.

# Barbados

Visitors are required to take a COVID-19 test three days before arrival, upload the negative result online before departure, and bring the results to the airport for inspection. Upon arrival, travelers will then have to take a rapid antigen test and quarantine at their hotel for five days. During quarantine, visitors must report their temperature and give daily health updates as well as wear an electronic tracking bracelet. Another PCR test will be administered on day five, and if the result is negative then the quarantine is over.

A second PCR test is performed upon arrival and visitors must then quarantine until results are ready. Once released, a Traveler Wristband must be worn for at least 14 days. Further tests are required on days four, eight, and 14, and visitors are required to report their temperature twice daily online.

# British Virgin Islands

Travelers must submit a negative PCR test taken within five days of departure online and have travel insurance that covers Covid-19 to obtain a Traveler Authorization Certificate. Upon arrival, visitors will undergo another test and must download a contact tracing app and put on a monitoring wristband before using approved transportation to get to approved accommodations to quarantine for four days. And the end of quarantine, visitors will take another test, and if negative, be allowed to visit select locations. A fee of $175 is required to cover the two tests, the contact tracing bracelet and the app.

# Cayman Islands

As the islands slowly start to reopen, they are only offering entry to a privileged few. If you meet the criteria (which includes making at least $100,000 annually) and are approved, you can enter with proof of a negative PCR test taken up to 72 hours before your flight. A 14-day quarantine period is then mandatory. If you want to travel between islands, you’ll need advance authorization and may have to take additional PCR tests.
