Tropically Yours: Full-Day Grenada Island Tour — Grand Etang, Concord Falls & Rum Tasting
Select participants and date
The minibus peels away from St. George’s harbor and the island opens like a set of folded maps—steep ridges, corrugated farms, and the sudden green of rainforest that presses close to the road. On the "Tropically Yours" island tour, the rhythm is a steady alternation of drives, short hikes and stops: the chocolate house where cocoa aroma hangs in the air, a crater lake hemmed by cloud-damp forest, a waterfall daring you to strip down and cool off, and a small distillery where rum learning becomes tasting.

Adventure Tips
Bring swimwear and quick-dry towel
Concord Falls and Grand Anse both offer swimming—pack a swimsuit you can change into and a towel.
Cash for small fees and vendors
Entrance fees and rum tastings are typically a couple of US dollars; small vendors often accept cash only.
Wear grippy shoes
Trails around Grand Etang and the waterfall are uneven and can be slippery after rain—supportive footwear reduces ankle risk.
Insect repellent and sun protection
Rainforest humidity brings mosquitos and coastal sun can be strong—apply repellent and sunscreen before departure.
