Tropical climates have two seasons: dry and rainy
Dry season is characterized by nice, warm weather and long, sunny days. It lasts from end of November to end of April.
Rainy season starts in early May and ends in November. During these months, our sunny destinations are at greater risk of rain showers, high heat and humidity.
Hurricane season extends from mid-May to end of November.
Consult the When To Leave chart to get detailed seasonal information about your travel destination.
Prices
Although there are high and low seasons for travel, vacation-lovers go south all year long thanks to attractive prices in periods when demand is low.
There is no ideal moment to reserve your place in the sun. Prices fluctuate with variations in offer and demand, which is why it is recommended that you book your reservation when you find the vacation package you want within the budget you’ve determined – otherwise you may risk seeing the price go up or availabilities disappear.
Voyages Bergeron and its suppliers often launch promotions offering either savings or more inclusions. That’s why it’s a good idea to subscribe to our Newsletter – that way you won’t miss anything!

Travel Insurance
Travelling with peace of mind means travelling with insurance coverage. You certainly deserve a vacation without worry, and that is why it is essential to purchase travel insurance. In the event of unforeseen emergencies, travel insurance protects you from extra, undesirable costs.
There is a wide selection of travel insurance products, and it is important to make the choice that is right for you and the type of trip you are taking.
First and foremost, we invite you to complete the Registration of Canadians Abroad form. It is a free service and allows the Government of Canada, should the need arise, to send you pertinent information regarding natural disasters, civil unrest or health advisories before and/or during your trip.
What influences insurance rates?
- Length of stay
- Traveller’s age
- Traveller’s health
- Price of trip
- Amount of coverage
- Coverage included in your travel insurance plan
What is covered in a travel insurance plan?
There are many different insurance plans, so every traveller can find one that suits his or her needs. For families, young adults, retirees, long-stay travellers or those who want partial coverage, there’s something for everyone. At the bare minimum, however, every traveller should have medical and emergency-hospital-stay coverage. Plans vary according to what is included. The essentials are:
- Medical and emergency hospital care
- Travel cancellation and interruption
- Missed connection
- Lost, damaged or late luggage
- Flight accidents and travel accidents
- Document replacement
- Boarding refusal
In the end, consider getting the plan that offers you the most complete coverage.
Where do I purchase travel insurance?
Your employer’s insurance plan and certain credit card companies offer certain travel insurance coverage.
Many insurance companies sell travel insurance. Manulife Travel Insurance offers excellent plans for every type of traveller. (https://www.voyagesbergeron.com/)
