Union Island, part of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, offers a tranquil Caribbean experience with stunning beaches, snorkeling, and sailing opportunities. Accessibility may be limited to boat or small plane, and infrastructure may be less developed than larger islands. Exploring independently is generally safe, but guided tours are available for boat trips and specific excursions. The dry season (December to May) is ideal for visiting, while the hurricane season (June to November) may bring travel disruptions. Costs can vary depending on accommodation and activities, but expect a moderate price range. A typical visit duration ranges from a few days to a week to fully enjoy the island's offerings. Consider bringing cash, as card payments may not be widely accepted.
