Celebrate - Great All-Day Island-Wide Safari Tour by Henry in Grenada!



Henry's Safari Tours, Kurt, a very nice young man picked us up at the Prickly Bay Marina where they have a sales office and we were joined by a lovely Norwegian couple. First stop was the beautiful Concord Waterfall complete with a young boy who would dive from the cliff-top into the pool made by the waterfall. It was jaw-dropping and we have the pictures to prove it! Continuing along the west coast with picturesque views of the beaches and sailboats going by we stopped at Gouyave to tour a Nutmeg Factory. A three story, mostly hand process of drying the nuts on one level, putting them through a cracking machine on another level and dropping them to the main floor for hand grading and shipping. A tasty buffet lunch was next overlooking the beach at Sauteurs Bay. Close by we saw the famous Carib's Leap where the Carib's jumped off the cliff to their death rather than surrender to the French. On a happier note, our next visit was to the rum distillery of River Antoine. It was interesting to see the large water wheel still in service for crushing the cane. Of course, they have gone from aging in oak barrels to processing in stainless steel vats. We had a terrific tasting of several over proof rums, their dessert cream rum and fruit rum punch. Next, we visited the Grand Etang Lake which is a volcanic crater lake surrounded by lush forest. Then, it was back to Prickly Bay and grilled steaks on the boat. Grenada is a wonderful place!
