It's not easy to visit the Galapagos right now, but it is possible. Americans traveling to Ecuador must quarantine in specific hotels in Quito, Guayaquil, or Manta for 14 days, even if they present a negative COVID-19 test. After that, you can head to the Galapagos—cruises are slated to sail as soon as Sept. 1.

French Polynesia, a group of 119 picturesque islands that includes Tahiti and Bora Bora, is welcoming American visitors, provided they present a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours before they board their flight. Visitors will also have to take a self-administered test on the fourth day of their stay. Once on the island, it's mostly business as usual, with social distancing and mask usage.

It's all about the honor system in the Dominican Republic. Visitors must sign a Health Affidavit stating that they haven't experienced any coronavirus symptoms in the last 72 hours. Your temperature, however, will be taken upon arrival at the airport and at your hotel, and if you have a fever, you'll be required to take a coronavirus test. As the number of cases is growing in the country, the government has implemented curfews throughout August, with the exact timing depending on the location. While many businesses are open, they do enforce social distancing, and large public gatherings are prohibited.

All visitors to Dominica must present a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken between 24 and 72 hours prior to arrival, and U.S. visitors may have to undergo additional testing. Most businesses are open in Dominica, but they're adhering to social distancing policies—restaurants, for instance, are operating at partial capacity.

You may, however, be subject to temperature tests. If you're looking for an island getaway, you can head to Cozumel on the East Coast, where businesses are generally open. Note: Mexico has recorded more than 500,000 cases and nearly 50,000 deaths in the country—and both those numbers are rising rapidly—so enter at your own risk. And if you'd rather stay closer to home, check out the 13 Secret Islands in the U.S. You Never Knew Existed.

Testing is at the expense of visitors and costs a flat fee of $75 upon arrival. Visitors are also required to check and record their temperature twice daily for the first 14 days of their trip. Businesses are largely open, and visitors are welcome to frequent them as long as they wear masks and adhere to social distancing guidelines.

You can, however, be tested on arrival at satellite testing facilities, where you'll have to quarantine until your results are in—luckily, these facilities are hotels. Travelers will be monitored for seven to 14 days after their arrival, depending on whether or not they're coming in from a high-risk country (yes, the U.S. is one). Some hotels, restaurants, bars, and tourist attractions are open, but not all are.

Even with a negative test, all visitors must quarantine for 14 days. On top of that, there are no commercial flights from the U.S. right now, so you'd have to get there via a private jet or yacht. As for restrictions once you've crossed the border, there are a lot. Inter-island travel is banned, some islands have closed their beaches (even at hotels), nightclubs and casinos are closed, and indoor and outdoor dining is prohibited (take-out is okay). Businesses cannot stay open later than 6 p.m., there's a curfew from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. on weekdays and 24/7 through the entire weekend, and activities where people congregate are banned (religious services, sporting events, and general social gatherings, etc.).

We highly recommend contacting Bahamian authorities before you plan a trip, as these rules change regularly. Just a few weeks ago, U.S. travelers were banned, though that restriction has since been rolled back.

If you do take a PCR test upon arrival, you'll have to quarantine at your own expense until your test results are in. Visitors are also required to purchase travel insurance from Aruban authorities, which starts at $15 per day but is based on age and length of stay. The good news is many businesses are open, so once you clear all the health checks, you're good to go.

Travelers who fly to Antigua and Barbuda are required to have a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within seven days of their arrival to the islands. If you're arriving by boat, the requirements are a little murky; per the tourism board, "Passengers arriving by sea (private yachts/ferry services) are subject to quarantine according to guidelines issued by Port Health." All travelers must wear a mask in public spaces at all times—noncompliance can result in a whopping $5,000 fine or six months in jail.

It's been nearly five months since the coronavirus pandemic began, all but completely shutting down the travel industry, so it's understandable that people are getting a little antsy. The good news is that some destinations prime for summer vacations (notably a number of pristine islands) are reopening to American tourists—albeit with strict safety regulations like mandatory COVID-19 tests, 14-day quarantines, and more. If you do go, make sure to allow plenty of time to get your test results so you don't get turned away at the airport. It's also important to keep in mind that even though you may be allowed into the country, the beaches, pools, and restaurants may still be closed.
