Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Travel Forum

Does anyone know anything about Tradewind Cruises? I am thinking about going on the cruise June 21 and would like to know something about it. I was then thinking about spending 2 nights on Bequia. Any suggestions where to stay for 2 nights.

are there any <a href=http://www.keagans.com>bequia apartments</a> i can rent there?and how much?

My family is planning a sailing trip in June leaving from St. Vincent. Can anyone tell me if there is a water taxi or ferry between St. Lucia and St Vincent? We were planning to fly to St Lucia but are having a time getting to St Vincent from there.

Three questions here:

1. are there water taxis from Union Island to Canouan?
2. how much should I pay for a water taxi one way?
3. If I am sailing on a chartered catamaran, how long would it take to sail from Canouan to Union?

Thanks!!

I live in Caracas Venezuela and am trying to fly to canouan the easiest way. We have been offered caracas /san juan puerto rico /St vincent /canouan... it looks a little long...(if you look at the caribbean map it looks esaier to swim...) I wonder if there are direct flights from Trinidad. We do have a daily caracas port of spain flight. Or perhaps from Aruba or from Curacao? Any suggestions? PLEASE i will be very gratefull it is for a honey moon......
A Trinidad or Grenada travel agency contact could be very usefull too.

Hello....I am planning a vacation to St. Vincent for the first part of September 2006.
Can anyone recommend a dive operator....I know some are closed at that time...also...is this a decent time of year for diving there?
I'll take any other tips you have to offer !!!!

Thanks

Diddoit!!

Is it better than diving in St. Vincent or Bequia?

Does anybody provide a water taxi between Carriacou and Union Island?

I'm looking for an economical and pleasant way to take day trip from bequia to Tobago Cays. Also, I have a 16 year old son that wants to go fishingwith a local fisherman in a small boat (again, economically.) Thanks for any help!

I normally don't bring local currency with me to the Caribbean but instead, get it from the ATM on arrival. I read that the ATMs are normally out of service in Bequia...are they reliable in St. Vincent at the airport or in Kingstown?

Can I do spearfishing in the Grenadines? If its OK what are the procedures or requirements when I do spearfishing, e.g. where to get permits, where to hire spearfishing guides, how much will be the approx. cost of guide per day excluding food & accomodation?

Honeymooned at Young Island 10yrs ago. Fantastic! Now I'm planning my 10yr anniversary and wish to stay somwhere comperable and similar to YI. We don't want to return so as not to take away form the beautiful memories. Any help would be greatly appriciated!!!! Looking to go May 1, 2006 or so.

We're traveling to St. Vincent and Bequia in May 2006. I would love to get to the top of the Volcano but I have a bum Knee. Any helicopter or sea planes that take you to the top? Any other suggestions about the do's and dont's would be appreciated. Staying in Friendship Bay Bequia, and Villa Beach St. Vincent.

My husband & I are spending 5 days in Bequia, and 4 days in St. Vincent late May 2006. We plan to bring our snorkeling gear and we are looking to rent Kayaks and or Dingey to exlore the coasts and snorkel. We're staying in Friendship Bay on Bequia and Villa Beach on St. Vincent. Any other ideas or hint's on the dos and dont's would be appreciated.

Can anyone advise names and telephone numbers of car rental agencies in Canouan, Grenadines?

Hello,
Surely, some of vt members are living on Bequia island. Can you, please, tell me how is the weather now? what grocery products are in a lack on Bequia so we would buy it in Europe before the trip? I would highly appreciate your help. Have a Merry Christmas everybody!!!

Hello to everybody,
can you please advise us how to get to Bequia Island from Martinique. My husband and I are thinking of different options whether to fly to Saint Lucia and then take a boat to Bequia (may be too far) or to reach somehow Saint Vincent from Martinique (but how ?) and then take a ferry boat to Bequia ? Any piece of advice is welcome as for price/quality and type of transportation. Thank you, Nathalie

Hiyah

Am traveling over to St Vincent early next year and am trying to find the best way of getting there.

I will be leaving from Mexico and was wondering if anyone new a better route than Mexico - Miami - Puerto Rico - St Lucia / Barbados on American Airlines? I can't find one.

Thanks

Ben

I just found this site with really beautiful Bequia pictures at
http://www.bequia-online.com

I looks really nice and I want to visit. Can anyone tell me some about their personal experience in Bequia?

Thanks

My fiance and I are thinking about renting a house in Moonhole for a week.
Has anyone stayed there or have any reviews? The houses we are looking at are Generatin Gap (Beachfront Villa) and Moonrise (cottage?).

Any assistance/opinions much appreciated.

Thanks!

My friends and I are going on a rafting the trip around St. Vincent and the Grenadines I am looking for information regarding drinking water and weather there is available tap water on some of the smaller islands, like, Young Island, Petit Nevis, Pigeon Island, Balliceaux, Petit Canouan, Jameby etc. If you happen to know anything about this subject please write back, thanks very much

Hi,

My boyfriend and I are travelling to Bequia in February from Barbados via SVGAir. I am curious of others' experiences with SVG Air. Good, bad or ugly? I am also trying to determine if their flights from BGI- Bequia may actually involve island hopping to get us to Bequia. Should we change carriers? If so who do you recommend and why.

Thank You in advance!

Hi everyone,
Going to be on Bequia for three weeks from Jan 11. Will be staying @ Dawns Creole Gardens - anyone been there? Whats it like? Also, we intend to do a lot of snorkelling - whats the reef like there at Lower Bay? Another question - would it be best to take USD as the rate would be advantageous at the moment for us in Britain, or just take ECD or travellers cheques? Any other tips would be appreciated!

Thanks - Jeff

Hello! Any advise on hotels on these two islands. I think the Sugarapple in on Bequia looks great as does the Cobblestone Inn on St Vincent. Any in depth reviews are much appreciated. Also, We would like to do some day sails from Bequia. I think the Tabogo Cays look amazing... is Mustique really worth the trip?? I don't necessarily want to tour Mick Jaggers cul-de-sac. Any other islands worth seeking out for the day??
Thanks,
Rebecca

My heart goes out first and foremost to ALL those fine people who have been hurt by the terrible hurricane IVAN.My partner and i were planning on going to st. vincent & the grenadines in december, with at least a couple of snorkle trips out to the TOBAGO CAYS. Can anyone tell us how badly damaged the cays are and if the reef there is still in relatively good condition? THX

Hi!
Planning to go to Bequia in late October early November with two children aged 14 and 9. Could someone give me ideas of where to stay? We love windsurfing, waterskiing, snorkeling and sailing Hobicats which should be available within the hotel.

Ideas of what to do besides the watersports?

Is Bequia a good choice for us with children or is it a quiet honeymoon destination?

Would love to hear more from those who been there or live there.

Thanks!

We are planning our 35th wedding anniversary trip for April 2005. We are interested in the Young Island resort just off the coast of St Vincent in the Grenadines. Has anyone stayed in cottage #3? We like to hear the waves crashing as we sleep and are also interested in the superior class room unless there is a significant reason to upgrade.
Thanks
