Concord Waterfall and Chocolate Factory Half‑Day Tour — Grenada’s West Coast & Rainforest
Select participants and date
By the time the van peels away from the harbor, St. George’s red roofs and pastel facades shrink into a ribbon of sea and coconut palms. The road climbs, narrowing between spice-scented hedges and small wooden houses with bright shutters. Then the mountain opens—not wide, but enough for a trio of waterfalls to find a place in the folds of the island. Concord Waterfalls drops in tiers through emerald ferns; the water dares you to step in and let the cool current press against your skin.

Adventure Tips
Bring swimwear and a towel
Concord’s pools are swimmable—pack a quick‑dry swimsuit and towel so you can jump in after the hike.
Wear grippy shoes
Trail sections are short but uneven and slippery; water shoes or trail sandals with traction are best.
Protect against sun and rain
Bring sunscreen and a compact rain jacket—tropical showers can appear suddenly and the trail has limited shelter.
Cash for chocolate and tips
Bring small EC dollars or USD for extra chocolate purchases and local guide appreciation at the end of the tour.
