Tour Overview

Start

St George's

Driving along the Kirani James Boulevard (named after our Grenadian 400 m sprinter and Olympic medalist ) we pass the picturesque Lagoon. We advance along a route affording glimpses of St. George's, said by some to be the most attractive capital in the Caribbean. Reaching the west coast road at the national stadium (cricket world cup 2007!) we continue up the scenic west coast, rich in history and colour.

1st stop

Concord Waterfall

Our first stop is Concord Waterfall, a 2 km drive up a leafy lane beside a stream, dotted with Grenadian agriculture: nutmeg, bananas, cocoa, and many other plants of interest. At this stop you can use toilets & buy souvenirs like spices & jewelry.

2nd stop

Gouyave Nutmeg Processing Station

The nutmeg "pool" in Gouyave is our next stop: you are shown the, processing and sorting of nutmegs and mace. Nutmeg products vary from syrup to massage oil, garden mulch to nail varnish; even a pain-relieving spray. At this stop you can use toilets & buy spices as well as other nutmeg products.

3rd stop

Carib’s Leap

We continue northward to a magnificent view of Grenada's Grenadine islands (visibility varies), and of the place where the last fighting Caribs committed suicide in 1651, overwhelmed by the prospect of French rule. We do not visit the monument itself, but view it from a hill above.

4th stop

River Antoine Rum Distillery

The next stop is as antique (1785) as the rum is strong (75% alcohol - ouch!) It can be hard to believe that the place is a working distillery, not an elderly museum. Despite its antiquity, it is quite well thought-out and has environmentally-friendly aspects. Rum sampling is included. At this stop you can use toilets & buy traditionally produced Rivers Rum.

Lunch

Belmont Estate

Ready for lunch? Our venue is Belmont Estate: a delightful rural setting, good, varied local food from a buffet; and with a view of the on-site cocoa bean fermentary. All-in-all delicious! At this stop you can use toilets & buy souvenirs like locally made chocolate & other produce.

5th Stop

Pearls Airport

In the afternoon, we continue through La Poterie and Tivoli, then through Pearls Airport, disused since the Americans 'intervened' in 1983. Today, sheep graze under the remains of two old Soviet-built planes.

Last stop

Grand Etang

After driving through Grenville, Grenada's second biggest town, we set off to the middle of the Island, to the mountainous rainforest, where we stop at a point from where you get the best view of the crater lake. It may just be possible that a monkey will emerge to demand a banana. Please note though that we cannot guarantee the presence of Mona monkeys.

Disclaimer: Please note that as with any industrial process, we cannot guarantee that you will see everything working at the Nutmeg pool & River Antoine Rum Distillery for reasons beyond our control nor can we assure that monkeys will appear at the crater lake.
