St. George's

Exploring the islands of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique is only a click away. There are a variety of tours offered by local operators many of which can be booked online or through your travel agent or hotel. Must see trips visit various attractions including The Grand Etang Forest Reserve and Lake, Waterfalls, Spice Estates and Plantation Houses. A visit to a Rum Distillery is a must to see how the Sugar Cane juice is turned into Rum, in many cases using the original technology and equipment from days gone by.

Attractions

Visit one of Grenada's extinct volcanoes in the Grand Etang Forest Reserve and Lake. The lake is actually a natural water-filled crater and the surrounding vegetation is simply amazing, filled with tropical birds and rare flowers.

Activities

Visit Bay Gardens, located on the site of an old sugar mill and home to more than 3,000 species of plants. Take a guided tour of one of the local rum distilleries or spice estates. Learn more about Grenada's culture and history at the Grenada National Museum.

Shopping

Among the best bargains on the island are the exotic spices, local textiles and handicrafts. To find the center of activity, head to the Market Square. You can also find good buys along Young Street and the Carenage, the inner harbor.

Food

Native Grenadian dishes are typically made with local produce - fresh seafood and, of course, spices. For a traditional Grenadian dish, try calloloo soup, which sounds more unusual than it really is - a mixture of fresh seafood.

Currency

The official currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD). U.S. dollars, credit cards and traveler's checks are widely accepted.
