Day 14: Free Time in Grenada
sailing vacations
To give adequate time to decompress you will not dive on your last day so this gives you a perfect opportunity to explore the interior of Grenada. There are many tours and excursions on offer which we can advise you on. Our recommended trip is up to the ‘Severn Sisters waterfalls’ where you will hike through agricultural and pristine rainforest scenery and spot bird life and occasionally monkeys on the way. Once you reach the falls you can take a bathe in the crystal clear water or for the more adventurous you can climb to the top of the falls and then jump down each one until you reach the bottom.
** Kindly note that the vacation’s itinerary is completely open to change at any time during your vacation and is weather permitting. We can advise you on the livelier sites or the peaceful hide-away locations. **
