Grenada & Carriacou / Special Interests / Island Tours

Grenada’s variety means that a good range of tours is available around the island. For a general view, see Places of Interest, but of course there are many organised tours too. All tours include the very pretty capital St George’s, but usually they will also take you somewhere inland or around the island, to a waterfall in the rainforest, one of Grenada’s excellent gardens, a plantation, often with a lunch in the estate house (usually Morne Fendue and Belmont in the north of the island). Other options are a visit to a nutmeg factory (well worth doing), a visit to a spice processing estate or a swim or snorkel stop.

For island tours of Grenada we recommend: 

Grenada Caribbean Horizons  - A local ground-handling company with a number of tours to offer, including Historic St George’s, a visit to the island confectionery factory, a visit to a local beekeeper, a nutmeg processing plant and distillery (to see the use of Grenada’s products). Some of their tours work best as private tours. They will be happy to customise according to your personal interest.

Tours of Carriacou

The taxi drivers are available to give tours of Carriacou, which take around two hours in all. You will discover some of the island’s excellent flora and fauna as well as the history. Some drivers are better than others. Thomas, gives a good tour (charge US$15 per person). Otherwise check with the tourist board.
