St Vincent and the Grenadines / Special Interests / Day Sailing

The most popular are the snorkelling trips to the Tobago Cays, which are a classic Caribbean spot, four tiny strips of land with lovely beaches, incredibly clear water and excellent reefs to snorkel. There are other sailing tours however, including day sails on traditional sloops such as the Friendship Rose, out of Bequia and trips up the leeward coast of St Vincent itself.
