Grenada Shore Excursion: Waterfall, Fort & Beach in 5 Hours

Waterfall swim, colonial fort, and two miles of white sand: all timed to your ship

A five-hour shore excursion from Grand Anse port covers three stops: Annandale Waterfall with admission included, Richmond Hill Fort overlooking St. George's Harbour, and Grand Anse Beach for swimming and the Craft and Spice Market. An air-conditioned vehicle, English-speaking guide, and port pickup and drop-off are included. You provide your ship's docking and re-boarding times at booking.

Step-by-step itinerary

Waterfall, Fort, and Beach Tour

• Visit Annandale Waterfall
• Explore Fort Frederick and enjoy views
• Relax and swim at Grand Anse Beach
• Shop at Craft and Spice Market

The experience

Five hours is tight, but the route is built around it. You start at Annandale Waterfall, a short drive from the port. A cascade ringed by banana leaves and tropical flowers where local vendors sell spice necklaces and fresh fruit, and cliff divers sometimes perform for tips. Your guide covers admission and walks you through the site, so there's no extra charge and no surprises. Wear comfortable shoes for the walkway. The path is short but uneven.

Richmond Hill Fort comes next, built by the French in 1779 and finished by the British. It sits high enough to command the entire view of St. George's Harbour, the town, the yachts, and the green hills around it: the kind of vista that justifies bringing a camera. Your guide connects the colonial history to Grenada's own 1983 revolution, so it reads as more than a photo stop. The timing matters: you'll arrive before the main cruise ship crowds hit the site.

Grand Anse Beach is the finale: two miles of white sand along the Caribbean, and you get roughly three hours there. Swim in the warm water, walk the shoreline, or simply rest in the shade. The Craft and Spice Market sits nearby, an open-air vendor space where local artisans sell handmade jewellery, woodcarvings, woven goods, and every spice Grenada is known for. Beach chairs and umbrellas rent for roughly $10–20 USD. Food, cold drinks, and rum punch are available at beachside bars. Your guide arranges the pickup time to match your ship's re-boarding window.

What is Annandale Waterfall like, and is entry included?

Annandale Waterfall is a powerful cascade surrounded by banana leaves, tropical flowers, and rainforest sounds, tucked into a lush valley a short drive from the port. Admission is covered in the tour price, so there's no extra charge at the entrance.

How much time do I actually get at Grand Anse Beach?

You have roughly three hours at Grand Anse Beach, which is long enough to swim, walk the two-mile shoreline, rest in the shade, or browse the nearby Craft and Spice Market for local handmade goods and spices.

What does Richmond Hill Fort show you?

Richmond Hill Fort, built by the French in 1779 and completed by the British, sits on a hilltop overlooking St. George's Harbour, the town, and the surrounding green hills. Your guide explains the colonial history and Grenada's 1983 revolution, and the view from the battlements is one of the island's best photography spots.

Is the tour accessible for seniors or guests with mobility needs?

The tour is mostly accessible and welcomes seniors and guests with mobility needs. Mention any accessibility requirements when you book so your guide can plan accordingly.

How does the pickup work if my ship is late or delayed?

You must provide your ship's name, docking time, disembarkation time, and re-boarding time at booking. If your ship runs late and you miss the tour, refunds are not issued. The timing is built around cruise schedules, so confirm your exact times before finalizing.
