Go off-road
With tours ranging from three to six hours, a trip with Sunhunters Buggy Tours is undoubtedly the best way to get quite literally off the beaten track in Grenada. Bounding over rugged terrain, your sturdy two-seater will take you deep into otherwise-inaccessible parts of the island where natural beauty awaits in the form of rainforest vistas, waterfalls and more.

You’ll also appreciate the cool, crystal waters, world-class snorkelling and lush sunset.
