4 FAVES IN Grenada

Sail On A Traditional Sloop

The tri-islands (Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique) have been the epicentre of Caribbean shipbuilding since the 19th century. Learn more and help to keep this historic skill alive by taking a cruise with Savvy Sailing. Its traditional 43ft wooden sloop, Savvy, was handcrafted on Petite Martinique and the crew are all fishermen and boat builders from the local community. Choose from half or full day trips with snorkelling and visits to Carriacou and the Tobago Cays, or opt for a simple sunset sail with snacks and rum punch included. savvygrenada.com

Swim In A Waterfall

Grenada’s lush interior is littered with tumbling cataracts, and plunging into their pools is the perfect way to cool down after a hike. Annandale Falls is the most well-known, but spread the love and do your bit to combat over-tourism by choosing a more off-the-beaten-track option. Royal Mount Carmel Falls is twice as high and half as visited, and the small charge for access goes to maintaining the site. The three-part Concord Falls is yet more remote, so book a guided hike and learn about local flora along the way. wonderingsolesgrenada.com/ hiking-tours-info
