What to Pack
Bring light clothing plus a sweater for evenings or air conditioning. Don’t forget sun protection and rain gear (especially on Saba and Sint Eustatius in season), even though rain usually comes in short showers.
Communications
Phone
International dialing code: (00 +) 599.
Internet
Time Difference
Local time: .
Like the other islands in the region, the Dutch Caribbean is on GMT-4. This means 5 hours less than mainland France in winter and 6 hours less in summer. In winter, there’s a 1-hour difference between Quebec (GMT-5) and the Dutch Caribbean.
Electricity
127 V (50 Hz) with "American" plugs (officially types A and B), so you’ll need an adapter for French plugs.
