Honeymoons
Grenada delivers the Caribbean fantasy, but with a unique twist. Thanks to its volcanic origins, pristine beaches come in white and black sands. Coral encrusted shipwrecks, undersea walls and one of the world's only underwater sculpture gardens delight divers and snorkelers. Guided hikes into the fragrant, mountain rain forests often include a stop to swim under a secluded waterfall or to soak in natural hot springs, surrounded by jungle. Couples can head to a secluded island for a private beach picnic, or pilot an inflatable boak along the Caribbean coast. For some, romance means kayaking out from Grand Anse beach to watch the sunset, and perhaps catch the famed green flash that occurs as the sun sinks into the horizon, or gliding along on a pedal boat in a secluded bay for a sunset toast. The ultimate Grenada experience is a sunset cruise dinner under the stars or on a moonlit walk along a tranquil beach.
