ABOUT Our Islands
ST. VINCENT is the largest
island and centre of government
for SVG. Centuries of volcanic
activity (including majestic
La Soufrière) have fashioned
this main island into a unique
paradise of dense forests,
mountain trails, waterfalls and
colourful wildlife that includes
several bird species. St.Vincent
was once homeland and a
capital of the Carib peoples
and its exciting history of
native, European and African
settlement is visible in its forts,
agricultural houses and even
pre-Columbian rock carvings
called petroglyphs.

ABOUT Our Islands
BEQUIA, the largest of the
Grenadines, is a hub for yachting
and diving. Several undersea
wrecks and shallow caves
provide an engaging landscape
for advanced divers, who can see
beautiful creatures like hawksbill
turtles, lobsters, moray eels and
converge on Admiralty Bay for
the Bequia Easter Regatta, the
largest regatta in the southern
Caribbean. Bequia has a long
history as a whaling island and
it is one of the few places in the
world where limited whaling is
still permitted. It is also home to
the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary.

hundreds of swaying palm
trees. A private island resort

run by a top hotel consortium,
it offers an exceptionally allinclusive hideaway. Its 130 acres
are dotted with beachfront
stone cottages, open-air dining,

SVG has been blessed with an
abundance of bird species
There’s nothing quite like seeing
they are as unique as the St.
Vincent Parrot, you simply can’t
beat it. Observe hummingbirds,
whistling warblers and a host of
endemic and migratory species.

As the sparkling Caribbean
sunshine casts its dappled
rays onto the white sand
beaches of the island of
Bequia in St.Vincent and
the Grenadines, divers and
snorkellers excitedly get ready
to discover the colourful reef
beneath the turquoise sea.
You’ll be enthralled by the
diversity of marine life and
stunned by the variety of dive
experiences in St.Vincent and
the Grenadines. The 32 islands
and cays ensure a fascinating
vacation below as well as above
the waterline.

You’ve found the perfect person
to spend forever with, now all
you need is the perfect place for
your wedding. Here’s an idea –
St.Vincent and the Grenadines!
With 32 spectacular islands and

backdrops, expert wedding
planners and a bevy of romantic
honeymoon hideaways, the Land
of the Blessed is the ideal place
to start your life together.
St.Vincent and the Grenadines
is widely recognised as one of
the top wedding destinations
in the Caribbean. It was named
the 2008 Best Honeymoon

was featured as Bridal Guide’s

CRUISING & Yachting
181
Cruising around St.Vincent and
the Grenadines is one of the
best ways to make the most of
your 32-island vacation. Lying
on deck sharing the warmth of
the tropical sun as it dapples
the aquamarine Caribbean
waters is only the beginning of
your SVG experience.
There’s so much to see and
do when you dock and set
foot on any of an abundance
of beaches. What stands out
with a great number of these
coastal cosy spots is their
distinctive character and
beauty. Bathe at black sand
beaches and coastal ponds
formed from volcanic rock or
snorkel alongside turtles in
the crystal blue waters of the
Tobago Cays.
