8 Days in the GrenadinesINTERNATIONAL

The Grenadines are far less developed than the North-ern Caribbean, with life moving at a distinctively slower pace. Instead of seeing resort hotels along the island shores, you will instead discover colorful watering holes, family-owned shops, and the occasional farmer’s mar-ket. This region is also home to the Tobago Cays, an undeveloped preserve full of crystal-clear waters, sandy beaches, and sea turtles.This eight-day itinerary lets you see the whole of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, plus the island of Grenada.

Swimming and snor-keling are favorite pastimes here, with sea turtles favoring several of the local reefs. When the sun goes down, go ashore for a beach barbecue of freshly caught lobster and twice-baked potatoes.
