Welcome to the Islands of 
The GRENADINES... 

Where wide, white sand beaches slope gently 
into azure blue, warm water

full of exotic fish and healthy coral.
Where the island is small making a vehicle unnecessary. 
Where nature is the only attraction.
Where our famous TradeWind Breeeeezes 
...... caress your face
..... our natural air conditioning.
Where you Snorkel right off the sandy beach.
Where you Hike winding paths.
~
Please accept that which is different here. 
Enjoy the good things and please tolerate the rest.
APPRECIATE that we
Work to Live ~ NOT... Live to Work
Please don't expect us to turn our idyllic islands into 
"every other destination with a beach".
EACH OF THESE TINY ISLANDS has its own special charm.
A charm coming from its few hundred or few thousand residents.
Residents who are at home. 
Residents who are perfectly capable 
of sustaining their lives here. 
Lives based upon traditional values of family, of friendship.
WHY NOT TRY A NEW TYPE OF VACATION?
Rather than finding any beach and then seeing how may amenities you can "check-off the list"
such as A/C, TV, and.....

WHY NOT AN ISLAND ESCAPE?
Escape from YOUR lives 
and try living a little of ours.
 ~ Come and live our Grenadine island life ~ 
as a welcome guest to OUR Neighborhood.
Your "Good Morning" will receive our friendly smile.
Your children are not just tolerated here...
but are sure to have a wonderful time playing alongside our own. 
Our isolation is indeed our INSULATION in these troubled times. 
And, sometimes....
being located at the end of a road that only a donkey would travel 
has it's advantages.
Come visit us and you will see what I mean.

And Grenadines.net is your first resource for planning your trip, and the final word on what all the islands have to offer.
After all 
- our name says it all - 
we are not some faraway travel agent, 
We are the owners and manager of the tourism businesses. This is our home. You cannot get more up-to-date information anywhere else!
Deal direct and save.
If you have a particular
Grenadine island in mind,

know the name of a special hotel
or other place to stay

or just have an idea of the type of getaway you'd like,
you've come to

the right place!
If you're planning a trip, 
your first job
-- choosing an island --
is perhaps the hardest of all.
The islands of 
The Grenadines 
offer more than just sand, sea and palm trees...
as if that isn't enough.
Each island,
each destination,
has its own....
distinctive personality, culture and characteristics.
No matter what level 
of activity -- 
or inactivity-- 
you're after,
it's here waiting for you.

The Grenadine Islands have long been in the business of making yachties' dreams come true and now these pieces of paradise are accessible to those without benefit of their own personal yacht.




Where Will You Stay?

The Grenadines 
have a choice 
of accommodations suited
for every budget 
and taste
from US$50/night
to
US$1,000+ plus.
From
BACKPACKERS
to
BILLIONAIRES.
.... from quaint inns 
and guesthouses 
to luxury resorts 
and private villas.
~
Families with kids are not just tolerated here....
they are indeed welcome and safe and sure to have a wonderful time playing along side our own children.
~
Seeking silence? 
Search out a tiny, remote outpost
where quiet is always on the menu.
Eco-resorts are popping up throughout The Grenadines
and you'll find camping/backpackers on Carriacou.
~
Need nightlife? 
Head for a big-time on Bequia...
where the party lights are always on.



What Will You DO
During Your Stay?
The Grenadines
offer miles and miles 
of sandy beaches
to stroll, explore, or exercise. Go hiking and get acquainted with the islands;
get to know the people; stop and have a chat; charter a sailboat; go fishing;
snorkel off the beach; ride a bicycle; look for fossils; paint the architecture;
have a picnic; ride a speedboat; go to an island party; enjoy the local cooking;
read a 1,000 books, or write one; swing in a hammock; paint a picture;
...do it all or do nothing, 
YOU decide.


When Is The Best Time
To Travel?

Our Weather Is Year-Round Beautiful.


HOW
DO
I
GET
THERE?
In order to avoid disappointment,
get your airline reservations settled first
and then make your reservations and place down your deposits
to hold them well in advance of your expected arrival date.



Typically, 

mid-December 
through mid-April
is considered
our "High Season" 
in The Grenadines.
The weather is at its best, 
80°F (at night) /24°C 
90°F /29°C (during day)
with little chance for rain,
which means that prices go up;

popular hotels book up solid.

Grenadines.net offers its clients
  a 100% Refund
(When cancelled in writing 60 days prior to scheduled arrival date,
less a 10% internet contribution and 3.25% credit card processing fee.)
Give serious consideration to private travel insurance
as most Grenadine tourism service providers
have no return of deposit policy
because of missed international travel connections.
HOW
DO
I
GET
THERE?
Conversely, mid-April to mid-December are quieter times to travel.
Weather reflects that of the High Season
with the exception that cooling, refreshing,
and brief showers might occur
during the day or night and the island vegetation will be on display.
Let's stop calling it
"T he Rainy Season"
and running our sun-bathing friends elsewhere.
Here in The Grenadines, 
it's year-round between
75-85°F or 23.89-29.44°C
with water temperatures 
about 5°F below air temps.
"D ry Season"and
" Green S eason"
That's better.

Hurricanes, too, are a fact of life in the Caribbean
and are most prevalent June through November.
Remember, though, from end to end the Caribbean Region is huge,
and a storm in one area doesn't necessarily mean a canceled trip for you

to The Grenadines.
~
We are located at the southern edge 
of the so-called "Hurricane Belt"
and most likely to remain outside of any danger zone.
If a storm comes through the week before your planned trip,
don't succumb to media hype 

-- the world isn't ending -- 
look at the island forecast here on Grenadines.net first!

Welcome...to our little island network

Visit us often...
to keep abreast of the daily up-dates
to our electronic travel destination magazine about...
Carriacou, Petite Martinique, Palm, Union,
Mayreau and the Tobago Cays,
Canouan, Mustique & Bequia

HOW
DO
I
GET
THERE?
The Spanish sailors who first sighted The Grenadines in the late 15th century
called them
"Los Pajaros" -  The Birds, 
 because from the horizon they looked like tiny birds in flight...
The less fanciful pirates, who in the 16th and 17th centuries
hid their ships from enemies
in the sheltered bays of these islands, called them
The Grenadines  The English adopted the name when they invaded
and took control during the reign of Charles I.

   Geophysically, the Grenadines resulted
from a volcanic eruption of Grenada.

The largest of The Grenadines, Carriacou, and nearby Petite Martinique
are today politically a part of Grenada.

The northern Islands, however,  are today 
politically a part of St. Vincent and The Grenadines.

This chain of Islands was inhabited by the Arawaks, and later by the Caribs
whose simple tools can still be found along with an occasional burial site
that gets opened after a 1,000 year sleep 
as new guesthouses disturb their rest.

The original West Indians were ousted by European planters in the 1740's
who found they could grow sugar here in abundance.
The West Indies became economically significant
because Europe's only sources of sugar at that time
were limited quantities from the Canaries and Cyprus.

Today, The Grenadines...
remain a cure for our tourist's sweet tooth;
but, not necessarily because of our sugar.
Come Visit us! You'll see what I mean.

I hope you enjoy the website.  I look forward to hearing from you soon.
