Bus Tour
Sightseeing Tour

You step off the air-conditioned van and the island breathes forward—humid, fragrant air threaded with nutmeg and cocoa, the Atlantic humming in the distance. For the next five to six hours this express tour stitches together Grenada’s defining moments: a colonial fort that overlooks a harbor, a chocolate maker turning local beans into bars, a ribbon of waterfall through rainforest, and hot sulphur springs that steam like a secret. The pace is brisk but generous enough to feel grounded rather than rushed.

Adventure Tips

Hydrate early and often

Bring a reusable water bottle—bottled water is provided but topping up between stops keeps you energized in tropical heat.

Wear stable footwear

Sturdy sandals or light hiking shoes are best for wet rocks at waterfalls and uneven paths at lookout points.

Carry small cash

Some local stalls and smaller attractions accept cash only for souvenirs and snacks—EC dollars or USD are useful.

Pack a light rain layer

Short tropical showers are common in the wet season and can arrive suddenly; a compact rain jacket keeps you comfortable.
