Sightseeing


No visit to Grenada is complete without a tour of the island, where visitors can enjoy it's beauty and lush vegetation, as well as exploring the island's historical sites:


Annandale Waterfalls


These small, but pituresque, waterfalls are easily accessible and offer recreational opportunities and scenic beauty to visitors.

Bay Gardens


Located behind the city of St. George's in the suburb of St. Paul's. With its winding paths, these gardens depict a true version of a tame tropical paradise.

Botanical Gardens


The gardens offer pristine tranquility surrounded by the natural vegetation of our national flowers and plants.

Camp Fedon


Situated in one of the flat-topped peaks in the central mountain range on the Grand Etang Ridge.

Carib's Leap/Leapers Hill


Directly north of the town of Sauteurs is a steep cliff face that descends virtically for more than 100 feet. This is an important historic and cultural landmark where the Carib Indians chose to exterminate their race rather than surrender to the French colonists in 1651.

Concord Falls


Consist of three waterfalls ideally suited for swimming. The first fall is accessible by road and the other two by foot.

Dougaldston Spice Estate


An historic monument to Grenada's past where most of the spices are grown and receive primary processing

Fort George


Overlooking the harbour, Fort George is a vantage point for sightseers, and offers a spectacular view of St. George's tiled-roof architecture and picturesque skyline. The fort, built in 1705, is one of the main historical sites on the island.

Fort Frederick


Completed in 1791, this bastion-type fort on Richmond Hill commands a panoramic view of St. George's.

Grand Etang Lake


Located approximately 1,740 feet above sea level, this lake - a crater of an extinct volcano - is set in the centre of the island's rainforest and covers 30 acres.

Grenada National Museum


Set in the foundations of an old French army barracks and prison built in 1704, this small interesting museum offers a fine collection of objects and artifacts on the island's history and culture.

House of Parliament


York house, purchased in 1801, houses the House of Representatives, the Senate, and Supreme Court. The neighbouring Registry, built in 1780, and York house are fine examples of early Georgian architecture.

Lake Antoine


A geological unique phenomenon, the lake occupies about 16 acres within a perfect crater of an extinct volcano.

La Sagesse Nature Centre


Hundreds of visitors travel here every weekend for swimming and hiking (the coastal area is reputed to be the most spectacular in the country). Marine areas are famous for their coral reefs and sea grass beds that provide shelter for lobsters and beautiful reef fishes.

Market Square


Bustling, noisy, and colourful, the market is the centre of activity in St. George's. It is the main site for buying and selling local produce, also the location of parades and political speeches and religious activities and the starting place for mini-buses to the outer areas of the island.

Morne Fendue


A lunchtime treat awaits you at Betty Mascoll's Plantation House.

Mt. Carmel Waterfall


This is the island's highest waterfall, consisting of two falls cascading over 70 feet to crystal clear pools below.

Mt. Rich Amerindian Remains


These petroglyphs are significant as the only extensive area of carvings left on the island that depict the way of life the Amerindians. They can be most easily seen on the top and sides of a very large stone on the river where six carvings, headpieces, pottery, implements, and tools used in their hunting and fishing were found.

Nutmeg Processing Factories


The two largest fatories on the island are located in Gouyave and Greenville, respectively, and visitors can see various processes that the nutmeg goes through before it is exported from Grenada.

River Sallee Boiling Springs


The boiling springs, located in the northeast of the island, are noted not only for their unique geology, but also because it is an area of spiritual importance for local residents. Visitors are inspired to throw coins into the fountain while they make a wish.

River Antoine Rum Distillery


This private owned distillery, whose processes have changed little since the processes have changed little since the 1800's, is the oldest functioning distillery in the Caribbean. Guided tours are available.

Sendall Tunnel


Constructed in 1895, it was a technological achievement (12 feet high and 350 feet long) and named after the current govenor.
