Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Travel Guide

As enjoyable as it is snorkeling the coral reef surrounding the Tobago Cays, it’s equally enjoyable snorkeling the seagrass beds. There are fewer fish, but the beds are full of Green Turtles munching on the seagrass.

This is a very helpful office. They will give you a lot of information about the island and sea activities that you can organize.I did not buy any tour, but people were kind.

There are a lot of interesting plants in this garden but you'll probably need a guide to describe them to you. The cinnamon tree, the smelly sock tree. Also you can see the island bird here. It's a pretty garden and not very big. Entrance fees are like $4 US pp and you are expected to tip the guide, but he is not required to walk around the garden....

This little "gem" was clean and had fantastic local food. I explained my quest for local cuisine to the owner, Sindy, and she proceded to make me a special feast with a sampling of all sorts of things that I had never tried anywhere before. Not only that, she even wrote down what they all were and was the best hostess/owner I've met in a very long...

Anybody who intends to do some island hopping in the Caribbean is bound to meet LIAT. This entity is not just a company; it is an experience of mythical proportions and rather quintessentially Caribbean at that. So feel blessed! Do-it-themselves travelers are usually preparing long before the take-off and one of the methods is reading about what...

There is an establishment on the outskirts of Kingstown that offers apartments and rooms at a very competitive price for the pricy Caribbean - Bay Hill Apartments. Well, this is only the beginning of the story. Once “attracted” as a fly on dead meat, with promises of cheap add-ons, the spiral starts to unravel. Due to its remote location in...

The lure of poaching is universal and Union Island is a good part of this universe. Some individuals just cannot help being astray from the flock and the rules that keep it going forward. There was this fellow who on two consecutive days committed two consecutive infractions of the law. The first day he was out catching lobsters despite the fact...

Animals on Union island are up and close not unlike the rest of the Grenadines. The goats seem to be the local favourites as far as domesticated creatures go and the number of stray dogs is overwhelming. Speaking of the dogs, the job of guarding properties is bestowed to much more vicious fellows than the happy-go-lucky mutts. They know the rules...

Mayreau is a tiny island, but it has a few restaurants. We ended up at Righteous Robert's because we'd been there 7 years earlier. We loved it then and we loved it now. Robert treated us like old friends - he couldn't have possibly remembered us - but we felt very welcomed. We had some deep-fried fish chunks that were the best I've ever tasted....

While you're at Righteous Robert's, see if Sharon is there to braid your hair. She does an excellent job. The food at Righteous Robert's. Try the Callalloo Soup and the fresh baked bread. Macintosh is a fabulous chef!!

We were probably the first tourists of the season (a month early). A colorful, comfortable, caribbean decorated restaurant with attitude and great food. We met the owner "Righteous" Robert Rice, a lively rastafarean who paints & decorates the place himself, and were graced with his company for the duration of our meal. Ask him the story about the...

Finding accommodation off the cuff sort of speak has the added advantage of peering into the psyche of the locals with the precondition of course that conclusions should not be overlaid on the general public because they are in a different “relationship” with the foreigners. My first “find” was an establishment already checked out and advertised by...

Two scenes at the same spot exposing life of the little ones of different species. The first one involves a little goat-boy who had just lost his mother and neighed mournfully in order to attract her attention and possibly provoke a response. Somehow it had mistaken a goat-aunt with her two kiddies for his own mother and had strayed off course...
