ters, in fact the island itself

is a great place to learn to

Scuba Dive or maybe try your

hand at sailing.

Explore the eco-adventure of

the tropical rainforest at

Grand Etang Nature reserve,

take a dip in one of the is-

lands breath-taking water-

falls or experience the thrill

of river tubing down the

Balthazar River or just scour

some of the vibrant markets

looking for souvenirs

When I visited Grenada I did-

n't really know much about it,

well this island certainly

wowed me and has much

more to offer than the usual

fly and flop Caribbean holi-

day. Less developed than

many of the usual islands it is

ideal of both couples and

families; no hotel can be

higher than a palm tree, laid-

back living, spice plantations

and a lush rainforest interior

with spectacular waterfalls it

has plenty to offer. If you’re

up early, head to the beach

for an early morning swim

with some of the locals. If you

are a passionate foodie, you’ll

love exploring the wide range

of restaurants, from elegant

fine dining at Gary Rhodes

Restaurant at the Calabash,

the world renowned Oliver’s

at Spice Island to the local

restaurants where you get to

enjoy many authentic ‘dishes;

take the opportunity to try

some of the organically grown

cocoa and strong local rum or

maybe just relax in a ham-

mock with a nutmeg infused

rum punch...

One of the places you must

visit is the world’s first Under-

water Sculpture Park, a col-

lection of fantastic sculptures

that lie in the marine park,

including the latest sculpture,

the Nutmeg Princess. I was

able to enjoy a dive there but

it’s just as good for snorkel-

ers as it’s in the shallow wa-

Maldives, Greece, and Egypt.
