Spice Necklace Island Tour Grenada: Waterfalls, Rum & Chocolate

Rainforest walk to Concord waterfalls, rum tasting, and chocolate farm tour

The Spice Necklace is a full-day guided tour of Grenada covering four major stops: River Antoine Rum Distillery, Belmont Estate, Grand Etang Lake and Concord waterfalls, with time in the rainforest and chances to see mona monkeys. The tour runs six hours with a live English-speaking guide. Bottled water and a spice necklace souvenir are included. Minimum age is 18.

The experience

The tour starts at River Antoine Rum Distillery, one of the Caribbean's oldest working distilleries, where you'll see how rum is made and taste the product. From there you move to Belmont Estate, a working chocolate plantation where cacao grows on the hillside and you learn how it becomes chocolate. Both stops let you taste what the island produces rather than just read about it.

Grand Etang Lake sits in the rainforest at the island's center, and the route passes through that forest on the way to Concord waterfalls. The rainforest is where mona monkeys live, and the waterfall is the physical anchor of the day. You get to the water itself, not just a viewpoint. The six-hour frame means you're not rushed through any single stop, but you're not spending a full day at one place either.

Bottled water travels with you throughout. A spice necklace souvenir is yours to take home. The tour operates on public roads with transportation options that are wheelchair accessible, and all areas and surfaces you'll visit are accessible as well. Service animals are welcome.
