Creator's Key Takeaways

The people of Grenada were kind, gracious, and welcoming. The vendors near the port area were not pushy or aggressive.

The port is only one version of a place. It is designed for visitors. But just outside of it, you start to see a different rhythm.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider booking non-cruise ship sanctioned tours for a more authentic experience.
If using a card with a local driver, be aware that ATMs may only dispense local currency (Eastern Caribbean guilder).

We Asked a Local Driver to Show Us the REAL Grenada! | 44Unbound Grenada cruise port island tour with a local driver, View Top Spice Shop, Annandale Waterfalls & Forest Park, Richmond Hill Prison overlook, Grand Anse Beach, Sendall Tunnel, and downtown St. George’s. In this 44 Unbound travel video, we spend one day in Grenada during a cruise stop and take an island tour with Campbell, a local driver who showed us more than just the usual port-area experience. From the cruise port in St. George’s, we visited View Top Spice Shop, walked through the lush Annandale Waterfalls & Forest Park, stopped near Richmond Hill Prison for one of the best views over the island, and spent time at Grand Anse Beach, where the beach setting connects closely to the local community around it. This Grenada cruise excursion also included a drive through Sendall Tunnel and a walk through downtown St. George’s outside the polished cruise port area. Along the way, the video looks at what it feels like to experience Grenada beyond the ship: spices, rainforest, beach, local streets, vendors, and the everyday rhythm of the island. If you are visiting Grenada by cruise ship and wondering whether it is worth leaving the port, this video gives you a real look at what a short island tour can include. 44 Unbound = real travel for everyday explorers. 00:00 This Is Campbell 01:40 Starting the Island Tour 02:32 View Top Spice Shop 04:00 Annandale Waterfalls & Forest Park 05:43 View from Richmond Hill Prison 06:45 Grand Anse Beach & Cemetery 09:12 Campbell’s Grenada 09:57 Sendall Tunnel 10:36 Downtown St. George’s Walk 13:45 Final Thoughts Planning a similar Grenada cruise stop?
