- Caribbean ↗Several islands (Turks and Caicos above all, also the Bahamas and Jamaica) jail visitors for a single stray bullet or cartridge in their luggage; empty every bag and pocket before you pack.
- Caribbean ↗From August to October keep a free last day before your flight home and check the national hurricane centre daily; airports close when a named storm approaches.
- Caribbean ↗Wearing camouflage clothing is illegal for civilians in several islands, including Barbados, Antigua, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Grenada, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica; leave it at home, children's clothes included.
- Jamaica ↗Check entry rules for your passport on Jamaica's Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA) site before you fly.
- Jamaica ↗Cannabis rules are limited and specific: possession above small amounts is illegal, and taking any cannabis out of Jamaica is a serious offence.
- Jamaica ↗Use licensed taxis (red PPV number plates) or pre-booked transfers, not unmarked cars.
- Jamaica ↗After Hurricane Melissa, confirm directly with hotels, tour operators and attractions in Westmoreland, St Elizabeth, Hanover, St James and Trelawny that they are open before you pay; some reopen only in late 2026.
- Kingston and the Blue Mountains ↗Mountain roads are narrow and steep: use a driver who knows them, and start early because cloud and rain build by afternoon.
- Kingston ↗Between clusters use a hotel-booked driver or a licensed taxi; do not walk between clusters, and do not use unmarked cars or minibuses as a visitor.
- Kingston ↗Downtown is a morning stop by taxi to the door; leave before early afternoon.
