Grenada & Carriacou / Things to do

Grenada is an island with plenty to see and do on land and on water.  If you have a special interest, look at our special interest section which gives a good insight into how Grenada delivers its depth.  You might also like to look at the section on Places of Interest.

Some of the attractions on Grenada include:

Clabony Sulphur Springs, north of Grand Etang -You will need a 4x4 jeep to wind your way through banana and nutmeg plantations finally flourishing after the hurricanes of recent years to reach Clabony Springs above Mirabeau Estate. The spring is the most accessible of a number of natural, warm, sulphur springs hidden in the overgrowth. After a short walk over streams and rocky stairs you will find a steep-backed rock pool to your left. The waist-deep water is clear and surprisingly pleasant smelling - until you stir the bottom with your feet. Guide recommended.

Grand Etang National Park - Thirty acres of rainforest around the Grand Etang, or ‘Great Pond’, at 1700 feet in the centre of the island, with limited hiking trails, refreshments and toilets.  See under Hiking

Lake Antoine  - A lake within the perfect crater of an extinct volcano, just north of Grenville.

Levera National Park, northeast - On and offshore park where there is hiking and some swimming and snorkelling on the offshore reefs. Beware of strong currents.

Nutmeg Processing Stations - Nutmeg factories are well worth a visit. There are two main ones on the island, located in Gouyave and Grenville, and they send their product all over the world, for use in cooking and confectionary. 

Waterfalls - There are several waterfalls that can be enjoyed for their beauty and for a swim. Some involve a hike but others are easy to get to. Some remain closed since Hurricane Iva. Annandale (easily accessible), Concord (three falls, two walkable only, admission fee US$1, upper two closed), Seven Sister (seven falls, 30 minutes hike) and Victoria Falls (accessible only by foot) and Royal Mt Carmel .
