32 Islands & Cays
The Caribbean as It
Was Meant to Be
St. Vincent and the Grenadines is one of the last unspoiled corners of the Caribbean — a chain of volcanic islands and coral cays where turquoise waters, lush rainforests, and warm island culture converge. Here, the pace is unhurried, the landscapes are extraordinary, and the sea is always close.

Natural Wonder
La Soufrière Volcano
La Soufrière is the most active volcano in the Eastern Caribbean and the highest peak in St. Vincent, rising to 1,234 metres. Its most recent major eruption in April 2021 sent an ash column more than 8 kilometres into the sky — a dramatic reminder of the island's volcanic origins. In quieter times, the summit trail rewards hikers with otherworldly crater views, steaming fumaroles, and sweeping panoramas across the Grenadines. A guided hike to the top is one of the most unforgettable experiences the island offers.
Annual Festival
Vincy Mas — SVG Carnival
Vincy Mas is St. Vincent and the Grenadines' premier cultural celebration — a two-week explosion of colour, music, and Vincentian pride held each June and July. The streets of Kingstown come alive with elaborately costumed masqueraders, pulsating soca and calypso, and the electrifying Grand Parade on Carnival Tuesday. Steelband competitions, calypso tents, and J'ouvert morning round out a festival that draws visitors from across the Caribbean and beyond. If your visit coincides with Carnival season, it is an experience not to be missed.

Seasonal Celebration
Christmas in St. Vincent
Christmas in St. Vincent is a season of warmth, community, and spectacular light displays. Homes, gardens, and public spaces across the island are transformed with elaborate LED installations — from illuminated palm trees and glowing hedgerows to the iconic "I Love SVG" sign that draws visitors for photos throughout the festive season. Nine Mornings, a uniquely Vincentian tradition, sees early-morning street parties and cycling events in the days leading up to Christmas. The combination of tropical warmth, community spirit, and festive colour makes December one of the most magical times to visit.
Sailing Event
Bequia Easter Regatta
Held every Easter weekend on the island of Bequia — just a 30-minute ferry ride from St. Vincent — the Bequia Easter Regatta is one of the Caribbean's most beloved sailing festivals. Traditional wooden workboats, sleek racing yachts, and colourful dinghies compete in waters that have been sailed for centuries. The beach at Port Elizabeth becomes a hub of music, food, and festivity as crews from across the region gather to race and celebrate. For sailing enthusiasts and casual visitors alike, the Regatta is a highlight of the Grenadines calendar.
Historic Landmark
Fort Charlotte
Perched 636 feet above sea level on a ridge north of Kingstown, Fort Charlotte is one of the finest historic sites in the Eastern Caribbean. Built by the British between 1763 and 1806 and named after Queen Charlotte, the fort commands sweeping views over Kingstown Harbour, the leeward coastline, and on clear days, the neighbouring islands of the Grenadines. Its cannons — unusually — face inland rather than out to sea, a testament to the fierce resistance of the indigenous Garifuna people. A visit to Fort Charlotte is both a history lesson and one of the most spectacular viewpoints on the island.
Heritage Site
Black Point Tunnel
The Black Point Tunnel is a remarkable feat of 18th-century engineering — a 91-metre hand-hewn tunnel carved through solid volcanic rock by enslaved workers and soldiers around 1815. Located on the windward coast near Byera, the tunnel was built to allow the transport of sugar cane from the fertile estates of the north to the mills and wharves of the south. Today it stands as a powerful reminder of the island's colonial history and the extraordinary labour that shaped it. Walking through the cool, dark passage and emerging on the black-sand beach beyond is a genuinely memorable experience.
