Carriacou is the largest island in the Grenadines and has white sandy beaches ,excellent snorkelling, and superb scuba diving opportunities. From here you can also explore the beautiful Grenadine islands such as Union Island,Palm Island and the Tobago Cays We describe here our recent visit to Carriacou as an example and we can arrange a similar trip for any guests staying at Gardenia Cottage |

| We flew to Carriacou in a light aircraft operated by SVGA who have regular flights throughout the day with many destinations up through the Grenadines. This flight is a real adventure not to be missed. You have superb views all the way of both Grenada and the surrounding islands, and some 20 minutes later you are landing at Carriacou's small airstrip | |||||||||||

We were picked up by Reg ( the local Taxi driver ) and taken to The Roundhouse in Bogles Village where we were to stay for 2 nights. The views ( left ) are spectacular and its restaurant ( far left ), where the food must surely be amongst the best in Carriacou, has real character. | |||||||||

On our second day in Carriacou we arranged with Reg ( yes Taxi driver Reg who also runs the local supermarket ) to sail North through the Grenadines for the day on his very own 41' Sailing Ketch ( left ). This was a fabulous day ,giving us the chance to see the Grenadines in all their glory. We reached as far as Tobago Cays where we stopped and we taught our daughter to snorkel for the first time in the crystal clear waters ( see below ) | ||||||||||
| On our third day we took a water Taxi (the preferred method of transport in Carriacou) to Sandy Island and spent a few hours relaxing and snorkelling over the pristine reefs before flying home to Grenada once more at the end of the day | |||||||||||
