St. Vincent

Guided Tours

Several operators on St. Vincent offer sightseeing tours on land or by sea. Per-person prices range from $25 for a two-hour tour to the Botanical Garden to $150 for a day sail to the Grenadines. A full-day tour around Kingstown and either the leeward or windward coast, including lunch, will cost about $65 per person. You can arrange for informal land tours through taxi drivers, who double as knowledgeable guides. Expect to pay $20 to $25 per hour for up to four people.
