Spend a day on the quiet shores of Carriacou, where you can get a feel for the peace and beauty of life in the Caribbean. The clear, shallow waters and gleaming, unspoiled beaches make a true utopian setting as you get to know the local people and age-old customs on the island.

A ride from your hotel begins the day as you cross the water from Grenada, either by boat from the waterfront at St George's or by air for a spectacular look at the islands. When you arrive on Carriacou, your driver meets you to start your tour with a ride through Hillsborough, the island's capital and only city, along with an old plantation and the tiny boat-building village of Windward.

Your journey around the island includes a wealth of scenic viewpoints that let you look out across the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea, along with the wilderness of Belair National Park and the nearby island of Petite Martinique. Savor an island-style lunch at Grand View Restaurant before your driver shows you Paradise Beach, where you get some time to go for a swim and kick back amid the idyllic sights. By the time you head back to Grenada at the end of the day, you've had the full wealth of experience in the sea and sky.
