Grenada: Seven Sisters Falls, Annandale & Grand Etang Hike Day Trip

Summary

Annandale’s cool spray, rainforest roads and the wild Seven Sisters hike

You’ll feel Grenada’s wild side on this day trip—cool mist at Annandale Falls, rainforest air by Grand Etang Lake, and muddy boots on the Seven Sisters hike with a local guide who knows every shortcut. Swim under waterfalls and taste nutmeg jam along the way—it’s more real than any brochure could promise.

What’s the experience like?

The drive from St. George’s to Annandale Falls was already something—a blur of green hills and sudden bursts of color from roadside flowers. Our guide, Marcus, kept pointing out little things I’d never have noticed on my own. Like the way people here wave by raising their whole hand, not just fingers. We got out at Annandale and the air changed—damp and earthy, with that sharp smell you get near waterfalls. I dipped my hand in the pool (colder than I expected) while Marcus chatted with a guy selling nutmeg jam. I tried some; it tasted like Christmas somehow.

After that quick stop, we wound up into the Grand Etang rainforest. The road got narrower and the trees pressed in close—so close you could almost touch them through the window. At Grand Etang Lake, we just stood there for a minute watching clouds move over the water. It wasn’t loud or dramatic; just this quiet place where everything felt slower. Someone said you can sometimes see Mona monkeys here if you’re lucky, but they must’ve been hiding today. Still, there was something about that stillness—I keep thinking about it now and then.

Ten minutes later we were at the start of the Seven Sisters Falls hike. The trail was muddy in spots (I nearly lost a shoe once), but Marcus knew every twist and root to avoid. He told us stories about growing up nearby—how he used to swim here as a kid—and I believed him because he laughed at his own memories like they’d just happened yesterday. When we reached the falls, I didn’t even hesitate—I jumped straight in. The water shocked me awake in the best way. There were other travelers around but everyone gave each other space; maybe because we were all a little awed or maybe just tired from hiking.
