Getting Around
Getting Around
Getting around Grenada is relatively easy and offers visitors several options to explore the island and its sister islands comfortably.
Ground Transportation
Buses
The most popular form of public transportation on the main island is the minibus system. These small, privately operated buses run regular routes between towns and villages, and they are an affordable, lively way to travel. Buses are easily recognized and usually display route numbers on the front.
Car Rental
For greater freedom, many visitors choose to rent a car. Driving is on the left-hand side of the road, and visitors must obtain a temporary Grenadian driver’s license, which can be arranged through rental companies. While the main roads are in good condition, some rural areas can have narrow and winding roads, so cautious driving is advised.
Taxis
Taxis are also widely available, particularly around the airport, hotels, and major tourist areas. Taxis in Grenada are not metered, so it’s important to agree on a fare before beginning the journey.
For short distances within towns like St. George’s or near beach areas such as Grand Anse, walking is a convenient and enjoyable way to explore the surroundings.
Water Transportation
Ferries and Inter-Island Travel
To visit Grenada’s beautiful sister islands, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, travelers can take advantage of ferry services. The Osprey Lines ferry operates daily between Grenada and Carriacou, offering a scenic boat ride that lasts about 90 minutes. Ferry services provide a cost-effective and adventurous way to explore more of Grenada’s natural beauty.
