Itinerary
Day 1

Pickup / Meet at Kingstown Cruise Ship Terminal
Meet your guide at the Kingstown cruise ship terminal for briefing, passenger check-in and boarding the vehicle. Cruise passengers should have provided ship name and docking time at booking.
Tips from local experts:
- Be ready 5–10 minutes before pickup time with your voucher (paper or electronic).
- If arriving by cruise, have ship name and passenger full names available for quick check-in.
- Bring any mobility aids you need; minibuses used have low steps but confirm assistance needs when booking.
Drive through Kingstown – historic buildings, churches & Cenotaph (short stops/viewpoints)
A guided drive through central Kingstown with brief roadside stops to view the Cenotaph and notable churches while the guide explains historical context. Stops are short and kept accessible.
Tips from local experts:
- Remain on the vehicle or use the short roadside viewing points; keep walking to a minimum for comfort.
- Carry a light jacket; coastal breezes can be cool in the morning.
- Ask the guide about nearby accessible restrooms if needed—short breaks are available on request.
Fort Charlotte — panoramic harbour viewpoint
Short visit to Fort Charlotte to enjoy panoramic views over Kingstown harbour, Young Island and the leeward Grenadines. The visit focuses on the lookout and historical interpretation; avoid long climbs if mobility-limited.
Tips from local experts:
- Fort Charlotte sits on a hill—use paved viewpoints rather than steep stair routes if mobility is limited.
- Sun protection recommended: hat and sunscreen for exposed viewpoint areas.
- Keep a small bottle of water handy; bottled water is provided but carry extra if needed.
Kingstown Botanical Gardens — short visit
Visit one of the oldest botanical gardens in the Western Hemisphere. The stop is brief to see key specimens and the national bird; note the small entrance fee is not included in the tour price.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring small change in USD for the Botanical Gardens entrance fee (fee is collected on-site).
- Paths are mostly level; wear comfortable shoes for short walking sections.
- If you need seating, request a bench stop—garden staff and guides can point out shaded resting spots.
Villa Beach — 2-hour beach relaxation
Final stop at Villa Beach for approximately two hours of relaxation, swimming or shoreline viewing with sightlines to Young Island. This is an unstructured beach break; return to the pickup/drop-off point at the scheduled end time.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring sun protection, a towel and any mobility aids you use; shaded areas and basic facilities are available nearby.
- Keep valuables secure; use a waterproof pouch or leave items on the vehicle if returning to it.
- Allow time to settle during the beach break—the guide will confirm the exact pickup location and departure time before leaving the vehicle.
