Sail & Hike Grenada: Black Bay Waterfall Adventure from Grand Anse
Select participants and date
The morning air off Grand Anse tastes faintly of salt and nutmeg; the Corsair's rigging sings as you step aboard and watch St. George’s roofs shrink behind you. The boat slips up Grenada’s leeward coast, past dark volcanic headlands and bays that huddle against the Caribbean like secrets. At Black Bay you drop anchor on a narrow black-sand strip and step ashore where the ocean’s edge hands you over to the island—mango trees, riverbeds, and a ridge of rainforest that seems to reach for the hull you just left.

Adventure Tips
Wear grippy sneakers
Trails include riverbed crossings and wet rock; closed‑toe shoes with traction prevent slips.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
You’ll switch between hiking and swimming—choose a sunscreen that’s safe for coral and reapply often.
Pack a dry bag
Keep phones and a change of clothes dry during the beach landing and boat segments.
Hydrate before you board
Carry and refill a reusable bottle; tropical hikes dehydrate faster than you think.
