Rare oskidunker Posted July 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2023 We booked three tours provided by the cruise line in other ports. I have been to Grenada before and did a nice tour with Mandoo of the island but don't want to do that again. I looked at the port board but didn't see much. Don't enjoy sitting on a Catamaran all day with no back rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sny Posted July 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2023 We did a Tours by Locals full day in Barbados with Deborah Grant. If you are interested in history and a full island tour, she is very knowledgeable. She is a big proponent of reparations, which is a very hot topic in Barbados right now.

Rare ORV Posted July 26, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Take a 4 x 4 tour to the East side of the Island in Barbados. You can go to a beach anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will go to Grand Anse Beach on our next trip as we felt we had already seen the highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship tour cost $89.00 to get there which includes an umbrella and a chair. Doesn't seem worth it. Beach may be crowded. Some are recommending other beaches but they may not be close.

Nashna Posted July 28, 2023 #10 Share Posted July 28, 2023 We have choices of a water taxi at $5.00 per trip, a taxi at $20.00, or a van that fills up passengers at the pier. The cost for two chairs and one umbrella is $25.00. I understand that there are restaurants and facilities at Grand Anse. I've learned that the access to the water taxi is via a steep decline, and the water taxis are small. I think we will take a cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marieps Posted July 30, 2023 #14 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I recommend Chris' Taxi and Tours in Grenada. A lovely tour with market, waterfall and nutmeg warehouse. If you want to snorkel, Calabaza and Silver Moon in Barbados each limit their capacity to 12 passengers. Cool Runnings is a mob scene with dozens on board. Enjoy.

Tealing Posted August 1, 2023 #15 Share Posted August 1, 2023 We have also used Mike’s Maxi Taxi in Barbados. Highly recommend this company. Very quick to respond. Mike is very knowledgeable and passionate about the island. He has a wealth of interesting facts about the history of Barbados. We had a great day with him.
