West Indies 2025 Tour Intro
Since 'forever', an Australian Cricket Tour To The West Indies has been a preferred tour for many. We get more enquiries about touring the West Indies than any other nation, and rightly so.
Almost anything goes in the West Indies; at least they did during life-changing Australian Cricket Tours to the West Indies 1995, 1999, and 2003.
Those 3 tours are what brings many to say, 'I want to tour the West Indies', but we don't pretend that touring the islands is little like it was after 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 the game as years' before, but they're still there, rum-punching through their days and nights, 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. We have more than 950 on our 'priority list', that 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 and help us celebrate 30 years of watching Australian Cricket, where it all began!
West Indies 2025 Cricket Tour Schedule
- St Maarten | June 16 - 21 | 5nts
- 1st Test Barbados | June 25-29
- 2nd Test Grenada | July 3-7
-
3rd Test Jamaica | July 12-16
- 2 T20's | Jamaica (Antigua) | 5nts*
- 3 T20's | St Kitts | 7nts
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. 3 Tests, 5 T20's, and St Maarten to start.
We'll have 8 nights on each island per Test Match, including 3 nights BEFORE each test. You will check-out of the hotel the day AFTER each test match, except if travelling with us to Jamaica after an extra night in Grenada.
Unlike most nations where one white ball game is played per city, West Indies play mutliple white-ball games per island.
Though not huge white-ball fans, having 5 nights in Antigua* and then 7 nights in St Kitts drowned in West Indian exuberance is worth it.
We include inter-island travel, transfers on arrival and departure, hotels, match tickets, dinner parties, cool fashions, and more to help make your tour all the more hassle-free.
*We are not attending the T20's in Jamaica, instead travelling to Antigua
*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.

Budget For West Indies 2025
How To Reach The West Indies 2025
**HOT TIP: LEAVE HOME EARLIER!**
Do not plan to arrive 'the night before'. Not even the day before. One missed flight connection and you miss the start of the series you've waited 10 years to see! Arrive, Relax, and Refresh! Your Test Tour includes 3 nights BEFORE each Test Match.
**NO TRAVEL TO/FROM THE WEST INDIES IS 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 then fly into St Maarten (SXM) on June 16 where we 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.
Depending on when you are joining us, book your flights into the Caribbean to fly into:
- Pre-Test | St Maarten June 16
- 1st Test | Barbados June 22
- 2nd Test | Grenada June 30
- 3rd Test | Kingston July 9
- T20's: | Antigua July 17
- T20's: | St Kitts July 22
Depending on when you are leaving us, book your flights out of the Caribbean to leave:
- After the 1st Test | Barbados June 30
- After 2nd Test | Grenada July 8
- After the 3rd Test | Kingston July 17
- After the T20's | Antigua July 22

My Partner Won't Do Cricket

1 - Book a double/twin room for two persons and we will refund A$1300 match ticket & apparel component per test and A$900 for St Kitts T20's, and you keep airport transfers, breakfast, and functions
2 - Book a single room and we will let the hotel know that you will be sharing the room, but airport transfers and breakfast you must pay as you go

West Indies 2025 Match Tickets
Included in our hotel & match ticket packages are premium reserved seat tickets, which are shaded for much if not all of the day, and looking as straight down the wicket as available. These are allocated by Cricket West Indies and may not be in our 'preferred stand'.
Do understand that West Indies Match Tickets have one price for locals and a much higher price for tourists, and tour operators. This has always been.
When booking our hotel tours, you can upgrade for the entire Test Match to:
- Club Hospitality for an additional A$2000pp, which includes:
- Continuous premium beverage service
- Gourmet selection of artisanal bites carefully curated to offer a diverse and indulgent dining experience, providing guests with a memorable and satisfying culinary adventure

West Indies 2025 Match Tickets Package
Per Test PP: A$2400
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. By nature of West Indies selling match tickets at much higher prices to tourists, is why we cannot come close to match ticket package pricing in India 2023 (A$450) and Sri Lanka 2025 (A$640).

Party Stands In The West Indies 2025
West Indian venues are renowned for their party stands; one ticket, all you can drink, food included, swimming pools, music, dancers, & atmosphere unrivalled in world cricket. #Epic
They have been missing for a time, but we are thrilled to say, THEY ARE BACK!
However, we are waiting on confirmation as to whether these are 'ALL INCLUSIVE' of food and drinks as they once were. The nominal price difference between reserved seats and the party stands (A$250 per test match) suggests they don't include 'open bar'.
We will update the site once we know.
Match Day Transfers In The West Indies 2025
Return match day transfers are included for all matches we attend!
Airport And Hotel Transfers In The West Indies 2025

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.
5-days of cricket may stop you from doing most things but with a couple of days before each test scheduled as 'play days', we'll suggest many things from a wealth of varied options across each island, but click on each islands official tourism webpage for ideas.
If you are combining Barbados and Grenada and Jamaica we include a day-trip on July 8 in Grenada. If you leave us after Grenada or are joining us in Jamaica, no day trips are included.
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', then book NOW.
