Grenada is a country and an island in the Caribbean.
Impressions from my Vlog
Grand Etang National Park
In the center of Grenada lies the Grand Etang National Park. You can drive directly to a lake and there are several trails through tropical jungle scenery. I hiked for about an hour to the Mount Qua Qua and I saw free-living monkeys.
St George
In the capital St George is the Fort George on the mountain with a beautiful view of the harbor. The Grenada Museum was well laid out and I walked along the harbor.
Travel Tips
Planning
- I was for 4 days on Grenada:
- Day 1: Arrival by plane from Barbados.
- Day 2: I hiked in the morning in the Grand Etang National Park and was in St George in the afternoon.
- Day 3: Relaxed.
- Day 4: Departure by plane to Port of Spain (Trinidad and Tobago).
- I used for my planning and can recommend the Lonely Planet for the Caribbean Islands.
Transport
- Getting there:
- There is an international airport.
- Cruise ships
- Island hopping across several islands from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
- Budget transport on Barbados:
- There are minibusses with bus numbers.
- Buses run every few minutes between the airport and the capital St George.
- From St George are minibusses in all directions.
- I paid between 3 EC (1 €) and 5 EC (1.66 €) per bus ride.
Accommodation
- I found the most budget accommodation on AirBNB.
- I can recommend as location the capital St George or on the way to the airport. It’s centrally located and you can explore the rest of the island cost-effective with buses.
- I stayed in an AirBNB (Authentic Grenadian Experience) in walking distance to the airport. Nearby minibusses drove to the capital every few minutes. The accommodation was clean and I had a well-equipped kitchen.
