- 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.
- Aruba ↗Aruba sets its own entry rules as part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands: every air arrival completes the online ED card at edcardaruba.aw within 7 days before arrival and pays the US$20 sustainability fee there (aged 8+, once per calendar year — check).
- Aruba ↗Flights to the US clear US immigration and customs at Aruba airport before boarding: arrive 3 hours early and have your ESTA, visa or US documents ready.
- Aruba ↗Arikok National Park covers much of the north-east; some tracks need a high-clearance or 4x4 vehicle, so check before driving a standard rental car in.
- Oranjestad area (Aruba) ↗Taxi fares are set by zone: agree the amount before you ride.
- Oranjestad (Aruba) ↗Beachwear is for the beach: cover shoulders and knees in town, shops and restaurants.
- Oranjestad (Aruba) ↗Town pavements are narrow and shared with cars: large bags go from the taxi to the door, never on a walk.
