Just when you thought your Grenada Vacation could not get any better, enter Carriacou and Petit Martinique… Grenada’s sister islands in the famous Grenadines<\/strong>, only a short ferry ride away.<\/p>\n That means YOU get to kill three birds with one stone, or rather Carriacou appeals to a different kind of tourist… the kind that expects an island to be an island. No extra frills or thrills, just all natural, laid back, and people that are easy to talk to.<\/p>\n The thing with this little gem is that more and more visitors continue to discover it; some return year after year, but it almost seems like many choose to keep this their little secret.<\/p>\n On one of our vacations in Grenada we planned a day trip to Carriacou. On this page you will find links to our little adventure… and hopefully it would persuade you to make Carriacou a part of your vacation.<\/p>\n Getting to Carriacou is quite easy. Here are three options, which one you choose depends on your preferences, the length of your vacation, or the length of your pockets.<\/p>\n The main mode of public transport is the local bus. There are of course car rentals, but if you are doing a day trip, time would be short so I would definitely recommend using the public transport. The bus drivers are very knowledgeable about the island, and would take you to the beach, or wherever for a couple dollars.<\/p>\n A better option … the one we took was to hire a local bus, and do an island tour. This turned out to be a great choice. It’s affordable, exclusive, and you get to see all the fun sites and villages. Take a look at our Carriacou tour, and meet our good friend and guide Norbert, who took excellent care of us<\/a>.<\/p>\n Carriacou has its fair share of restaurants, and local carry out joints. On a day trip you will have time for at least lunch at one of the good restaurants. We certainly did, and loved every minute of it. Click here to see the Carriacou Restaurant where we had lunch.<\/a><\/p>\n Carriacou has many beautiful beaches, some argue even more beautiful than Grenada. We got a tease of the most popular beach. It was only a tease because our time was short, (yours might be too) and we crammed in as many things as we could in that short time. But nothing prevents you from spending all day on the beach if that’s your thing.

We seriously considered missing the return ferry, and just over nighting to enjoy some more of Carriacou. But in the end we chickened out, and decided to leave it for our next visit.<\/p>\n Help us discover Carriacou’s treasures for our next visit… share your best Carriacou tips, stories, and magic moments<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have to tell you I always like to see how well a cafe or stand does with their Roti’s and some make Callaloo …<\/li>\n What was I …<\/li>\n Just when you thought your Grenada Vacation could not get any better, enter Carriacou and Petit Martinique… Grenada’s sister islands in the famous Grenadines, only a short ferry ride away.

Getting to Carriacou… Ferry, Fly, or Sail<\/h3>\n
\n
\nThere were about 2 – 3<\/strong> flights per day between Point Salines International in Grenada and Lauriston Airport in Carriacou. But they were reduced to only one<\/strong>, so check with a travel agent or the airport authorities before you settle on this option.<\/li>\nGetting Around in Carriacou<\/h3>\n
