Looking for suggestions on how to do Grenada and Carriacou in the same trip.

We are staying in Grenada for a 8 days but want to do at least a one-night (two full day) trip to Carriacou. Looking at flights, they are cheap and quick compared to the ferry. Wanted to know if anyone has done this and, if so, where they stayed and the way they got there. Thanks in advance.

We almost did. I was in correspondence with somebody that owns a villa there.

Her comments..

“Assuming this is your first trip to Grenada, Carriacou is NOT to be missed. 2 or 3 nights is great and an unforgettable experience for your children. It is the TRUE caribbean experience. Likely your children will be heading off to college so this is the time to give them this experience. One must go into town and intact with the locals and your one big outing in Grenada should be a day trip to the Grenadines (Mayreau and Tobago Cays) which Dave can organize as he has a boat (negotiate price).”

Places to see in Gda:
Annandale Falls
Petite Anse
Umbrellas Restaurant
Coconut Beach Restaurant
Nutmeg restaurant in town-MUST try a Roti
trip to town
Aquarium restaurant-bring bathing suits
Papillon breakfast place next to Blue Horizons

Places to see in Ccou:
boat trip to Sandy Island, White Island, Saline Island (any of these is a 1/2 day trip and bring picnic)
Slipway restaurant-closed Monday
Round House restaurant-call when closed and make reservation
trip to town
La Playa Beach Bar (a good place to swim and drink, music on Saturday)
visit Casada Bay ruin which has a phenomenal view
eat a Roti
Trip to Togabo Cays & Mayreau MUST climb the hill to see the view from the top and little church
Lazy Turtle Pizzeria
Steel Band in Tyrrel Bay i believe on Friday night or Saturday night
