About Saint Vincent & the Grenadines

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a Windward Islands state made up of one mountainous volcanic island and a chain of smaller ones running south towards Grenada, among them Bequia, Mustique, Canouan and Union Island. La Soufriere, at the north of Saint Vincent, erupted explosively in 2021, 1979 and 1902.

Known for La Soufriere volcano, the Tobago Cays, arrowroot growing, Bequia boatbuilding and Garifuna heritage.

Getting around

Shared minibuses are how Saint Vincent moves, radiating from the terminal at the New Kingstown Fish Market. Cabinet sets the fares route by route, and the rates approved in September 2022 run from EC$2.00 for anything under a mile to EC$8.00 or EC$9.00 for the far north. Taxi fares are also government-set but unmetered, so agree the price first. Ferries run from Kingstown out to Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Mayreau and Union Island. Driving is on the left, and visitors need a temporary licence costing EC$50.
