• Many islands offer flights only once or twice a week. Plan to stay 5-7 days.

• Inquire about medical facilities, as locations can be miles from the nearest town. Medical insurance with evacuation coverage is a good idea.

• Many resorts get electricity from generators and may limit electricity. Inquire about the water as well. For instance, there is no hot water at Dolphin Island Lodge.

• There may not be banks or ATMs, so make sure to bring enough cash in the local currency.

• Make an effort to learn a few words in the native tongue.
