Grenada
Enquire about this destination...
Grenada is one of the most beautiful of the Caribbean islands, and is affectionately known as the 'spice isle'. Your senses will take in the unique aromas, a third of the world's nutmeg is grown here, as are cloves and mace. Grenada is only 22 miles by 12 miles and has some amazing countryside - visit cascading Concord Falls and see rare tropical flowers in the Grand Etang National Park, or call in to an old spice planatation, unchanged for centuries.
Grenada is an ideal destination for whale watching - up to twelve species can be seen from December to April. Or take the chance to get away from it all sailing around the Grenadines on a private yacht and experience the beauty of the lesser-known islands of the Caribbean. Please contact us for details.
Scuba diving is popular in Grenada, the crystal-clear waters offer colourful coral reefs and diverse marine life - including barracuda, rays and nurse and reef sharks. A big attraction for divers is the wreck of The Bianca C cruise ship, and with visibility up to 100 ft offers an amazing experience. Dive sites suit beginners as well as advanced divers.
