Budget For West Indies 2025
Budget For The West Indies 2025
Heads up, silky rum aside, the West Indies is not cheap.
Hotels, car hire, inter-island travel, excursions, etc... are all priced in US$, powered by the mass North American tourism market.
That's OK if the US$ crashes and the AUD$ returns to parity, such as 2012!
Based on the current US$ value, and 2024 pricing for some of our preferred hotels, we suggest you save per person:
- Twin | Double: A$4000+
- Single Room: A$6000+
... for each week you're in the islands.
Don't freak out, just read why we suggest this very generous 'top-end' budget, based on you enjoying 2+ weeks with us.
We'd rather say A$4000 and then ask for A$3000, than suggest A$2000 and then ask for A$4000. You can always take cash home, and you will need spending money.
These prices include inter-island travel, 4-star hotels, transfers, parties, excursions, apparel and reserved seat match tickets that will be US$400+ per test.
If you fly in for one test, you save A$500+ as you won't have inter-island travel, and we don't get you off the island at the tour end, so that's another A$500+ saved.
Hotel prices vary markedly between platinum west coasts, branded resorts, small hotels, breakfast only, or all-inclusive.
Cities such as Roseau do not have any 4 or 5 star hotels, so should we play in beautiful Dominica, cut A$500+ from that budget.
Many variables effect the tour price, none more than currency that fluctuates with the USD$.
Over the years we've had pleasures and pains of US$ conversions:
- 2003: US$1 = A$1.65c
- 2008: US$1 = A$1.04c
- 2012: US$1 = A$0.90c
- 2015: US$1 = A$1.30c
- 19/02/24: US$1 = A$1.52c
When a beer is US$5, a hotel is US$200 per night, and match tickets US$400, 2012 rate is preferable.

Until the US$ crashes our Australian Cricket Tour To The West Indies 2025 will not be our most affordable, we know that, and without you paying for a 'tour host'.
Group rates for hotels & travel should make it more affordable to join us than do it yourself, without the hassle.
We appreciate not everyone can travel on such top-end budgets but you can still enjoy West Indies 2025 for less with our convenient Match Ticket Package.
Whichever your preferred tour format you need to save for not only your time in the islands, but getting there too.
