SPICEY HALF-DAY TOUR
$267 Chartered For 4 People
Grenada is second only to Indonesia in the
production of nutmeg and its byproduct, mace. It is also a major producer
of cinnamon, cocoa, and many other spices with their delicious smells
wafting through the air.
Enjoy the breathtaking views of the old capital St.George's and the
winding route of the scenic west coast as we visit a waterfall, spice
plantation and the fishing town of Gouyave. Gouyave is the center of
Grenada's fishing industry. It has also been called the city that never
sleeps, as most nights there is a party going on with plenty of local
music.
Here you will make a visit to the Nutmeg Processing Station in the center
of town. The fragrant tour is a fascinating look at this factory which
turns out over 3 million pounds of nutmeg each year.
You will continue on a drive through the aromatic spice plantations and
you will become an expert on spices!
Deep in the interior of lush, mountainous Grenada is a bird sanctuary and
forest reserve with miles of hiking trails, lookouts, and fishing streams
called the Grand Etang Forest Reserve The Grand Etang Lake is a 36-acre
expanse of cobalt-blue water that fills the crater of an extinct volcano.
The Nature Center in the reserve will be the last stop on the return
journey.
