Each island in the Caribbean has its densely populated areas and attractions that draw large crowds of travelers. Outside of these areas, however, you will find enchanting sites and stunning landscapes to explore. In Grenada, travelers can explore by land or by sea.
Independent travelers with a sense of adventure may wish to rent a bike or scooter. Mountain biking can be a great way to get to know the local terrain, and mopeds and scooters allow a great deal of mobility and freedom to explore the island as the ocean wind blows by. Scooters are usually less expensive than rental cars, though road conditions can also make them more hazardous.
Buses and taxis are inexpensive and are good for short trips or for visitors who know they won't be venturing far from their hotel or resort area. Both public and privately owned buses and minivans provide bus service in the tourist areas of Grand Anse and St. George's. Buses can be crowded but are inexpensive and often boast unique names and play vibrant music. Taxis can also be useful for travelers who will not extensively tour the island. Taxi drivers meet arriving flights and are also available for tours of the island. Rates will vary depending on your destination, and surcharges will apply during off hours.
Travelers who will be doing extensive touring of the island's sites outside of the Grand Anse and St. George's area should consider renting a car. Taxi rates are reasonable, but can add up quickly if you're moving about the island frequently. Rental cars allow travelers the flexibility and freedom to see sites such as the Grand Étang National Park or to explore the Grenville Nutmeg Processing Station. There are both international and local rental car agencies on the island for travelers to arrange four-wheel-drive vehicles and standard cars.
While there are plenty of ways to get around on the island of Grenada, the quieter and less developed islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique are just to the north. If you do not wish to plan a full vacation on these islands, you may take a ferry to Carriacou and then on to Petite Martinique for an afternoon or a day or two of relaxing seclusion.
Grenada boasts lively tourist areas in Grand Anse and St. George's and unspoiled waterfalls, beaches, and marine landscapes in Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique. There are a number of transportation options available for travelers who want to make a few short trips or tour the region extensively.
