Six things to do in SVG
Explore the seas
The thirty two islands of the Grenadines present the perfect opportunity to sail from point to point and discover hidden coves and private beaches. Throughout the island chain there is clear blue water, but the Tobago Cays are especially suited to snorkeling and diving. Charter a sailboat or travel along the ferry – either way takes your breath away. All of the islands have flourishing flora and fauna which make for a beautiful hiking experience. Aside from a guide, good company, a camera and insect repellent, all you need is a sense of adventure.
Fall for Falls of St. Vincent
St. Vincent’s waterfalls are some of the island’s natural wonders. Sparkling waters plunge into enclosed pools below. Swimmers will enjoy this cool ambience.
Visit the Botanical Gardens

Have a Hairoun
The best way to enjoy the light taste of the prizewinning beer of St. Vincent, is sitting with pleasant company along a breezy waterfront restaurant. This icy cold lager is a great way to cap off a gorgeous day.
