Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Travel Guide

As enjoyable as it is snorkeling the coral reef surrounding the Tobago Cays, it’s equally enjoyable snorkeling the seagrass beds. There are fewer fish, but the beds are full of Green Turtles munching on the seagrass.

This is a very helpful office. They will give you a lot of information about the island and sea activities that you can organize.I did not buy any tour, but people were kind.

We spent a day on the island of St Vincent during a Caribbean cruise in March 2016. Our cruise ship docked in the capital, Kingstown, at around 11:00am on a Saturday. We had to be back on board the ship no later than 7:00pm; giving us ample time to go exploring.Of all the ports on the cruise, this was the one that we had least researched and...

The national beer of St Vincent & The Grenadines is Hairoun – a 4.8% lager brewed on the island of St Vincent.Always keen to sample the local beer, I purchased a bottle ($US 2) from the shop inside the Botanical Gardens in Kingstown during our visit to St Vincent in March 2016.During our day on the island, I spotted several advertising boards...

Finding accommodation off the cuff sort of speak has the added advantage of peering into the psyche of the locals with the precondition of course that conclusions should not be overlaid on the general public because they are in a different “relationship” with the foreigners. My first “find” was an establishment already checked out and advertised by...

Two scenes at the same spot exposing life of the little ones of different species. The first one involves a little goat-boy who had just lost his mother and neighed mournfully in order to attract her attention and possibly provoke a response. Somehow it had mistaken a goat-aunt with her two kiddies for his own mother and had strayed off course...

The lure of poaching is universal and Union Island is a good part of this universe. Some individuals just cannot help being astray from the flock and the rules that keep it going forward. There was this fellow who on two consecutive days committed two consecutive infractions of the law. The first day he was out catching lobsters despite the fact...

Animals on Union island are up and close not unlike the rest of the Grenadines. The goats seem to be the local favourites as far as domesticated creatures go and the number of stray dogs is overwhelming. Speaking of the dogs, the job of guarding properties is bestowed to much more vicious fellows than the happy-go-lucky mutts. They know the rules...

Anybody who intends to do some island hopping in the Caribbean is bound to meet LIAT. This entity is not just a company; it is an experience of mythical proportions and rather quintessentially Caribbean at that. So feel blessed! Do-it-themselves travelers are usually preparing long before the take-off and one of the methods is reading about what...

There is an establishment on the outskirts of Kingstown that offers apartments and rooms at a very competitive price for the pricy Caribbean - Bay Hill Apartments. Well, this is only the beginning of the story. Once “attracted” as a fly on dead meat, with promises of cheap add-ons, the spiral starts to unravel. Due to its remote location in...
