Island Hopping

Day Trip to the Grenadines

Let us show you the best of the Grenadines....a delightful string of tiny islands and cays meandering between Grenada and St Vincent where exquisite settings, deserted beaches and abundant coral reefs await your discovery.

A brief 50 minute flight takes you from Barbados to Union Island, where a 52ft private luxury yacht, captained by Roger Bagga, awaits you.

A light Continental breakfast is served on board before setting sail to Salt Whistle Bay on the island of Mayreau, giving you an opportunity to swim and snorkel. Then it is over to the breathtaking Tobago Cays - a marine reserve made up of five deserted islands, excellent for snorkeling, swimming or just relaxing.

A delicious buffet lunch with wine is served on board.

In the evening, set off to discover the deserted isle of Petit Tabac or Palm Island, should time permit, before returning to Union Island for your flight back.

This is truly an amazing trip - one not to be missed.

In addition to the Grenadines, we can also arrange day trips to Mustique, as well as overnight packages to a number of other islands, as well as private yacht rental.
