No Experience Required

You push off at first light, the motor ticking a steady cadence as the mainland slides away and a fringe of limestone islands grows out of the horizon. Mangrove roots scrape like fingers along the hull and the air smells of wet earth and salt; green cliffs rise vertical from the water, caves cut into their bases like weathered doors. This is Los Haitises National Park, a karst archipelago where channels carve into a low rainforest and ancient Taino pictographs keep watch from cave walls.
