Voice of Travelers to Grenada
Perfect for Summer
My air ticket to Grenada was from John F. Kennedy International Airport with JetBlue Airways, and it was a nice trip. I landed in Maurice Bishop International Airport, which was full of the most beautiful paintings. It was mid-June, and the temperature was about 25 C and light rain showers. I got to visit Grenada Concord Waterfalls, located north of the capital. Perfect for summer, there is a cool pool of water and a beautiful view of the peaceful rain forest surroundings. Because of my great trip, I highly recommend booking your ticket for the summer time!
Nutmeg & Liquor in Grenada
My trip and ticket to Grenada were organized by a travel agency. So they did all the work for me. On the first day, we went to the fishing village of Gouyave. There we visited a Nutmeg processing station, which Grenada is most famous for. Entry tickets for the Gouyave Nutmeg Processing Cooperative were only USD 1! We got to explore the nutmeg cooperative's packaged flavors, clothing, and many other things. My next stop was to the River Antoine Rum Distillery. There we got to taste old-fashion production style liquor only available in Grenada. Since air tickets, food and travel were so cheap, I had a great time!
Diving in Grenada
I booked my ticket to Grenada three months in advance to the Maurice Bishop International Airport. Since I booked so early, the ticket was so cheap. The most memorable thing I saw on my trip was the Underwater Sculpture Park! It was done by British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, and is probably one of the most iconic images of Grenada. The site is about 10 minutes by boat and a short dive to the sculptures. The sculptures can get a bit hard to see so I recommend going on a sunny day to get the best view of them!
