What not to do when visiting Montserrat
Don’t forget to be polite and say "good morning", "good afternoon" and "good evening" upon meeting anyone, before saying anything else.

Don’t be a victim of mosquito-borne diseases - protect yourself against bites by mosquitoes.


Don't sit under a ripe coconut tree - better to be safe than sorry, falling coconuts kill 150 people each year.

Did you know?
The Montserrat flag shows Erin, a female personification of Ireland, playing the harp. This Irish heritage comes from when the British forced Irish to be indentured servants on the island and work with the West African slaves on the plantation fields.
Don't take pictures of locals without permission.

Don’t forget Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory.

Don't dive or snorkel without a floating marker on water.


Don’t be a victim of mosquito-borne diseases - protect yourself against bites by mosquitoes.


Don't forget to negotiate your taxi ride price before you take it.


Don’t forget the hurricane season takes place between June and November.

Don't really look for a deal - things are not that cheap in Caribbean.

Tell us your experience
We love to hear from people who have travelled the world and know ‘what not to do’. Why not help other people on their travels?
Don't forget coral-safe sunscreen - if you go to water excursions, some of them may not allow you to join without coral-safe sunscreen.
