5.0 Deefer Diving Carriacou (167 reviews)
- Paradise found
Saturday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Scuba & Snorkelling

This dive shop is amazing. Gary is so responsive to inquiries and was integral in helping coordinate a transfer for us from Grenada to Carriacou and arranged our hotel accommodations as well. Nora is fabulous! Her love of the ocean and diving is contagious. All of the staff and boat crew were accommodating and professional. We had some great dives Nd did some serious lionfish hunting. Don't hesitate to go with this shop. I will be back! See more..

- What an amazing day!
Saturday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Scuba & Snorkelling • Boat Tours • Water Sports

Just returned from an amazing half day charter to celebrate our daughters 16th birthday. Daryl and Andre were excellent, always making sure we were happy. We snorkelled at the sculpture park and Andre came in the water to point things out to us. Lots of tangs and parrot fish..saw a large puffer too. Lunch was far better variety than we had on similar trips and had a further snack board after a stop at bbc beach. Fab day, fab crew and thanks to Lottie who helped with the booking and answered our many questions! See more..
5.0 Dive Carriacou (40 reviews)
- great personal and professional dive trips/instruction
Saturday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Scuba & Snorkelling • Boat Tours • Kayaking & Canoeing

Just got back from diving with Arawak divers on Carriacou. Instructors/owners Conny and George are amazing. They accommodate any time and are highly professional, safe, knowledgeable and personable. We had 3 generations diving and the sites are fabulous.As an extra added bonus, George taught my 7 year old how to snorkel and took him out on his first reef(too young to dive ofcourse) and he was absolutely terrific with children. They really made our trip. See more..
5.0 Lambi Queen Tours (37 reviews)
- Great day out with Lambi Tours. Highly recommended.
Boat Tours • Eco Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Speed Boats Tours

Lambi Tours boat trip round the islands was amazing. This is our fourth visit to Carriacou but the day out blew us away. Sherwyn, the skipper and ship mate Kevie exuded confidence and made us all feel welcome, included and secure. Each of the 5 islands we visited was beautiful and unique. The lobster at Ans La Roche beach was to die for and the ride home at dusk was exhilerating. Highly recommended. See more..
5.0 5ElementsPro Carriacou Kiteboarding (7 reviews)
- Totally coordinated kite weekend with friends for a reasonable price
Saturday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Surfing & Windsurfing • Taxis & Shuttles • Boat Tours • Gear Rentals • Boat Rentals • Private Tours • Stand Up Paddleboarding

I visited Carriacou for a weekend kiting trip with friends, and Pato and Julie made the experience excellent. They helped us arrange transportation to and from the ferry to manage our gear, sorted our accommodations and even reasonably priced meals for breakfast and lunch as well as transportation to and from a kite spot - which, for non-locals, is impossible on a Sunday because taxis don’t run that day in Carriacou! I came to them for a gear rental and they expertly watched me rig and get going, explained where to avoid the shifty wind at the side of the bay, and besides assisting for the launch and drop they allowed me to have an independent session which I loved. They even had two sizes ready for me at any point if the wind was changing throughout the day. All in all a super well organized experience and we were thrilled to maximize our time on the water!

5.0 Windmill Belair (2 reviews)
- Morning walk to Carriacou's 2 remaining windmill ruins.
Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks

We walked 1.4 km uphill from our stay at Grandview Hotel to the Princess Royal Hospital and just below to this Belair Windmill. Its detailed information board stated it was built in the 1770's by slaves, then used by them to grind corn until the 19th C. It also mentioned another mill ruins farther on. So we continued 1.6 km passing Top Hill's Senior Center and the Margaret-Mary Catholic Church to find the 2nd windmill ruins that powered the colonial sugar works. It was guarded by barking dogs from the private house next door. Its prominent location had spectacular views of the airport and Hillsborough below. We returned taking the same route which provided extended shoreline views of the windward side of this island. Great exercise with a bit of history on our 4 mile Sunday morning walk. See more..

4.5 Paradise Beach (39 reviews)
- Nice beach!
Beaches

Nice, large beach great for swimming and snorkeling! There are plenty of restaurants/bars along the beach strip. This lively beach is a great place to meet travelers or locals while enjoying a fresh lunch and local music. For the more adventurous, there’s a bush path between Paradise Beach and the shipwreck with great views (and lots of manchineel trees!). See more..
4.5 Anse La Roche Bay (21 reviews)
- Beach barbecue extravaganza
Beaches

This experience was recommended to us by our dive shops on the main isla mujeres of Grenada and the shop in Carriacou. A boat taxi takes you to a pristine beach where Tim will provide you with one of the best meals you javelin ever had. Grilled lobster, fish, chicken, and conch along with garlic potatoes that you will dream about for years to come. Great experience, highly recommend. See more..
4.5 Petite Carenage (6 reviews)
- Wow! What a great experience!
Saturday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent 2-3 hours Beaches

We were looking for something besides sitting on the beach, Petite Carenage is the place for that! It was super beautiful, lots of wildlife, and the shipwreck is crazy. Loved going to this place, went for a second time to show my family. Highly reccomend!!! See more..

3.0 Froggy's Reef Tours and Snorkeling Carriacou (4 reviews)
- Froggy was absolutely amazing!
Saturday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM Scuba & Snorkelling • Boat Tours • Fishing Charters & Tours

Froggy was absolutely amazing. Friendly and incredibly knowledgable. He took us to several amazing spots for snorkeling, and he was patient and helpful with our 9-year old twin girls (skillfully lifting them out of the water into the boat, answering all their many questions, and generally being very kind with them). We enjoyed the trip so much that we booked a 2nd day with him. The snorkeling around Jack-A-Dan island (about a mile off the coast from Hillsborough) was especially great, with many beautiful live coral and lots of great fish, some rays, and moray eels.
