West Indies 2025 Tour Intro
For a very long time, the West Indies has been a preferred Australian Cricket Tour for many. We get more enquiries about the next Australian Cricket Tour to the West Indies than most other nations, and rightly so.
Crystal blue waters, open-air parties, boat trips, rum shacks, palm trees, barbeques, music, seafood, silky sands, fishing, diving, hiking, waterfalls, forests, colour, cricket, and fun.
Almost anything goes in the West Indies, though we don't deny that the game is on life-support compared to the life-changing series that were our Australian Cricket Tours to the West Indies 1995, 1999, and 2003.
Those 3 tours are what brings many cricket lovers to say, 'I want to tour the West Indies', but we don't pretend that touring the islands is little like it was.
The ICC ruined cricket in the West Indies with their Cricket World Cup 2007.
Unnecessary large and characterless venues sucked the passion, heart, and purpose out of the game, and West Indies cricket has not been the same.
What we didn't lose were the locals that make touring the West Indies as special as winning the Frank Worrell Trophy!
West Indians may not embrace cricket in their numbers as before, but they're still there, rum-punching through their days and nights!
We'll be there and you should be too as this will be our ONLY West Indies Test Cricket Tour for maybe 10 more years!
30 Years Anniversary Tour
June 2025 will be 10 years since our last Australian Cricket Tour To The West Indies and 30 years since our first in 1995 on what was to be a 'one-off' adventure before continuing 'life at home'.
Thankfully, it wasn't to be.
West Indies 2025 will be our 11th tour of the islands and anticipation is huge, with more than 700 on 'priority list'.
This ever-growing list includes others that toured in 1995, family, friends, and even past players who have envied our cricket touring through the years.
If you haven't, Book Now For A$1 and help us celebrate 30 years of watching Australian Cricket, where it all began!
West Indies 2025 Cricket Tour
Schedule To Be Confirmed
- St Maarten (5nts)
- 1st Test (8nts)
- 2nd Test (8nts)
- Add-On Island (5nts)
- 3rd Test (TBC) (8nts)
- 3 ODI's (8nts)
- 3 T20's (8nts)
- Add-On Island (TBC) (5nts)
Waiting 10 years for Australia to return the West Indies means this is a tour you should plan to do in its entirety; make up for lost time, let's say.
We'll be there from first to last ball. 2-3 Tests, 6 white-balls, St Maarten (SXM) to start, perhaps one island in the middle, and another island to finish.
We'll have up to 8 nights on each island. Should we play a 3rd Test, we may have a 5 night break after the 2nd Test, when we will visit another island.
Conveniently, the West Indies often play 3 white-ball games on one island and 3 on another. Though not white-ball fans, having 8 nights in Grenada (for e.g.), and 8 nights in St Vincent (for.e.g) drowned in West Indian exuberance is worth it.
You're going a long way to the West Indies, so stay 2 more weeks for 6 more games, it will be fun.
We plan to include inter-island travel (TBC), transfers on arrival and departure, hotels, match tickets, dinner parties, cool fashions, and more to help make your tour all the more hassle-free.
*NO TRAVEL TO/FROM THE WEST INDIES IS INCLUDED*
Please know that every moment is yours to do as you please. We don't hold your hand. We will point you in directions you may like to go, and that's it.
When Is The West Indies 2025
The Australian Cricket Tour to the West Indies is scheduled for June into July 2025 and will remain ambiguous to the day of confirmation.
Like every Australian Cricket Tour it can remain unknown until several weeks (India!) before the first ball, but this isn't India so you should have 6+ months to get your West Indian ducks lined up.
The tour will sneak up on you, so start collecting your ducks now.
We always keep ears to the ground for tour news, and will share what we learn.

Budget For West Indies 2025
How To Reach The West Indies 2025
- NO FLIGHTS TO/FROM THE WEST INDIES ARE INCLUDED
Until Qantas launches Melbourne - Barbados, reaching the West Indies in one hit from Australia can't be done. You must overnight in the US or Canada and fly the next day.
Our preferred option is to overnight in Miami and fly the next morning into St Maarten (SXM) where we will start our Australian Cricket Tour To The West Indies 2025.
There are dozens of daily direct flights from US and Canadian hubs to most Caribbean nations, with American Airlines out of Miami, the most prolific.
From the UK, British Airways fly into Barbados, Antigua, St Lucia, Grenada, St Kitts, Jamaica, Guyana, and Aruba.
From Europe fly KLM and Air France into our beloved St Maarten.

Where Will The West Indies 2025 Cricket Be Played
We have no idea.
In the halcyon days, when only 5 nations hosted test cricket, a tour was easier to plan. The original 'Big 5' of Antigua, Guyana, Barbados, Jamaica, & Trinidad now vie with Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts, St Lucia, and St Vincent.
Sadly, we can't play everywhere.
We last played Antigua 2008 and Barbados 2012 so our 30 Years Anniversary will be a perfect time to revisit two legacy islands that defined cricket in the West Indies.
In 2012 & 2015 we delighted in playing in Dominica, and would love to again but would also love a change of scenery.
If not Antigua, Barbados, or Dominica, we will relish St Lucia & St Kitts as much as Grenada & St Vincent. We've seen them all.
#10TestMatchSeries
The lottery won't be drawn until late 2024 but as soon as we have an itch of where we may play, we'll be prepared.
Island Hopping The West Indies 2025
- INTER-ISLAND TRAVEL MAY BE INCLUDED
Until we know where we are playing, we hope to include convenient inter-island travel, should you join us on 2+ islands consecutively. We'll get you from one island to the next island and so forth, and to/from the hotel each time.
If you're only doing one test, no travel is included.
**NO TRAVEL TO/FROM THE WEST INDIES IS INCLUDED**

If you are coming for one test ONLY, no travel is included. We'll get you from & to the airport for a week of fun & larks, but that's it.
#TooEasy
West Indies 2025 Match Tickets
As Official Tour Operator to Cricket West Indies 2025 (contract signed in 2024) we will have access to ALL match tickets, including best available, before the public.
These tickets will be included in our hotel package, and match tickets package.
Being the first Australian Cricket Tour To The West Indies in 10 years, the small venues may sell out in a jiffy, and likely if our priority list keeps growing.
West Indies Match Tickets have one price for locals and a much higher price for tourists. This has always been the case.
Match tickets for West Indies 2022 (England) suggests the BEST AVAILABLE match tickets for West Indies 2025 will be US$400+ per test, including our tour operator licence fee.
'Best Available' Match Tickets 'over the bowlers' arm' / 'looking up and down the wicket' are extremely limited and will be included in our packages.
West Indies 2025 Match Tickets Package
Per Test PP: A$1300+ (TBC)
As with all Australian Cricket Tours, we do not sell Match Tickets ONLY.
If you're booking your own hotel & travel yet want confirmed match tickets, book our simple Match Ticket Package.
- Pre-Test Match Party
- Match Tickets To All 5 Days
- Party Stand Option If Available
- Post-Test Match Party
- Very-Cool Apparel
- White Ball Match Format TBC
Get to the pre-match party, grab your tickets & fashions, have a rollicking time, and we'll see you at the game.

Party Stands In The West Indies 2025
West Indian venues were renowned for their party stands; one ticket, all you can drink, food included, swimming pools, music, dancers, & atmosphere unrivalled in world cricket. #Epic
With the demise of West Indies Cricket, the all-inclusive enclaves have too fallen foul of poor form.
The Mound in Jamaica now not a mole hill, the pool in Barbados long drained, the Posse Stand in Trinidad, vacant, the Pepsi Stand in Guyana silently flat, and the rhythm of Chickie's HiFi Disco in Antigua, no longer felt.
Excitement for West Indies 2025 doesn't mean we won't see a party stand revival. Speaking with Cricket West Indies, the chosen venues will decide their fate.
#StayTuned
Match Day Transfers In The West Indies 2025
Knowing where we'd like to stay relative to each venue, match day transfers will be included on most islands.
Some hotels are 2km - 3km from the game, so barely 20mins walk, but for safety & convenience, we may still drive you.
Once we know where we're playing, we will confirm whether transfers are included. If ever they are not, cheap taxis for short journeys are plentiful.
Hotel Transfers In The West Indies 2025
**HOT TIP: LEAVE HOME EARLIER!**
Do not plan to arrive 'the night before' the test. One flight cancellation or missed connection and you miss the start of the series you've waited 10 years to see! Arrive, Relax, and Refresh with 2 or 3 extra days in the Caribbean!
Whether you enjoy just one test or the whole tour, we will meet you when you arrive 2* or 3* days before the start of the test.
These are shared transfers, so you may need to wait briefly for others.
When departing, we decide when your 'shared transfer' will leave. We will get you to the airport earlier than expected, but never later.
*NOTE: If you arrive the day before the test (or later), you must get yourself from the airport. You will have had 10 years to get there so please don't be late.
Hotels In The West Indies 2025
Across the islands there is no shortage of sweet homestays, private villas, boutique plantation homes, grand hotels, to all-inclusive gated resorts.
In the ideal world we'd have a choice of hotels & prices but that makes it difficult for everyone. At a min. we'll include 4-star hotels, most of which are on each island's much-smoother west coast.
An exception is Barbados' south coast. The famed Parish of Christchurch is filled with hotels, resorts, restaurants, bars, rum shacks & vibrancy not felt elsewhere else in the islands.
We've always lived in Christchurch, but in 2025 we MAY live on Barbados' lush west coast where fabled beaches and cool hotspots suit more laid-back souls. It will depend on our expected numbers, hotel pricing, & availability.
Other exceptions to 'coastal living' are the 3 places we wish to avoid; Jamaica, Guyana, and Trinidad. We like to relax on teal waters after play, under palm trees & warming sunsets, which you can't do in these rugged capitals.
Let's see what the schedule brings!
*We no longer offer twin-share unless you book to share with someone you know. If you are travelling alone, you must book SINGLE or phone a friend.
Day Trips In West Indies 2025
Though many come to the islands for weeks of sand-lubbing, all of these tiny rocks have heaps of reasons to drag yourself off the beach.
Depending on how many that choose to join us, we may not include day trips, rather just suggest what's best!!
5-days of cricket may stop you from doing most things but with the day after the test scheduled as a 'play day', we'll suggest many things to do.
Circumnavigating Antigua on a 'cat' is our first wont. Sailing the West Coast to the Pitons of St Lucia, jet-boating out of Black River to Floyd's Pelican Bar in Jamaica, swimming gorges and hot springs in Dominica, or driving Barbados on a rum shack tour are treasured memories we look to relive.
It's a shame we may only play 2 Tests!
Should we not play in Barbados, St Kitt's, Antigua, St Vincent, St Lucia, or Grenada, we will visit one or more of these famed cricket islands for up to 5-nights, during or after the cricket, including if a 3rd Test is added.
Enjoy 6 amazing weeks rum punching on yachts, rocking barefoot on the sand, ducking aircraft, liming at the weekly 'jump-up', sunning in crystal waters, snorkelling, caving, diving, kayaking, or kicking back in a rum shack. There's cricket too!
What we do depends on the schedule, but we'll get you great memories and value for your effort to reach the islands.
Visiting Non-Cricket Islands
As our schedule may be limited by only playing 2 tests, we are therefore limited to where we can go.
Unlike Greece there is not a vast ferry industry shipping people across the islands. You must fly so we won't be flippant about where we go.
We start our Australian Cricket Tour To The West Indies 2025 in St Maarten (SXM), which is two nations in one. Side trips to Anguilla and Saba from SXM, and optional St Barths will have your passport stamped a plenty!
From Antigua we can visit St Kitts, Montserrat, and sister island Barbuda.
St Vincent & the Grenadines has 32 islands, before you hit Grenada, which also has two larger sister islands and a scattering of smaller rocks.
You can ferry between Guadaloupe, Martinique, St Lucia, and Dominica but only twice per week, so timing must be spot on.
With 6 white balls games to played on 2 islands, after the final test match we may have time to visit another rock before the first 3 games.
Without squeezing things in, we'll make the most of your time and effort to visit this awesome region.
As soon as we know where & when we're playing, we'll build a full itinerary to include everywhere possible.
Golf In The West Indies 2025
Kids In The West Indies 2025
Across the years we have welcomed many families and the West Indies is one of the better regions to bring the kids (below), with grand beaches and entertainment on all islands to suit.
Depending on your younglings' age, reduced price tours (for the littlies) are available. Speak to us about tailoring a package for the family.
Booking The West Indies 2025
You may have a million questions about the tour, you may have one. We want you to be comfy in choosing to tour with us so will happily answer any queries before you book.
If you are cool with our 'plans', add your name to our priority list below for just A$1. Those on our list will be invited to re-book our limited places once we confirm pricing and itinerary. Joining our priority list does not guarantee you a place. You will have up to 7-days to rebook unless SOLD OUT prior.
