What to do in Grenada

Apart from the pleasures of the beach, there is plenty to occupy your time. On a holiday in Grenada you will come face to face with the real Caribbean spirit. Tourism on the island is much quieter than some of the other Caribbean destinations and with a varied landscape, it's worth taking time away from the beach to drive up into the mountains and enjoy the cool experience of a walk in the rainforest; visit beautiful mountain  rivers and waterfalls which cascade down through the lush forest greenery. Alternatively try the  new sightseeing train in St. George, a comfortable and flexible way to discover this pretty capital. There are a number of low key, lively clubs in St George's, Grenada's one time colonial Georgian capital where you can dance to a local island band playing reggae or calypso.

Things to do:

• Sunset cruise from Port Louis marina, St. Georges
• River tubing
