Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Captain Klem was incredibly knowledgable and friendly, we had heard great things about him from the locals on Union Island. He encouraged us to take our time and relax, and helped us out with snorkelling equipment when we were missing a mask so that we didn’t miss out on seeing the turtles at Tobago Cays. The weather was a bit choppy on the way back but we felt safe and secure with Clem’s seafaring expertise. Highly recommend!

    We came here for dinner, but the real action was happening during sunset. We were the only people eating dinner here. Food is served inside the round house and done family style. There was plenty to eat and we even had left overs. We could have had more fish and the pork chops were a little tough. Not many options in this bay. Drinks were good, service with a smile, just didn't like eating inside.

    This was one of our favorite bays. Quiet and good snorkeling. Very relaxed vibe and all the places to eat you have your toes in the sand. We ate at the pink house which is run by Vanessa. The meal is served family style and you order your meals in the afternoon. Make sure to order lobster right when you arrive if that is what you want for dinner, We didn't order soon enough but the table next door did and it smelled delicious. Drinks are made with love by Vanessa. One of our favorite nights.

    My husband and I very much enjoyed the transportation Troy provided when we sailed on the Lady JJ this past February. Troy and his crew were all very professional and thorough, carrying us from Union Island to Carriacou straight through to immigration clearance. The ride was a breeze, a little wet, to be expected, but very scenic. Loved the experience. He was excellent with communication too, from start to finish. And so much faster and less expensive than flying. He turned what could have been a confusing time into a smoothly running operation. My husband and I very recommend this route to anyone who wants a cool end to a beautiful Union Island vacation.

    Sitting atop the highest peak on Union Island, looking out 360 degrees on a beautiful sunny day, at Carricou, Petit Martique, Petit St. Vincent, Palm Island, Mayreau, Tabogo Cays, Canyuan, and Bequia Islands. Beautiful blue waters, sailboats, kite boarders, Clifton and Ashton. The best view on Union Island full stop.

    Our guides "Bongo" and Nicholas guided us to the top, and yes it is a bit of exercise, but well worth it. We all had some good laughs going up and coming back down, and the we will do again when we return. Definitely bring a liter bottle of water per person. We booked our tour through Erika's Marine Services. At first it looked rather intimidating, such a steep mountain, but Bongo and Nicholas helped make it a piece of cake. Well worth the effort.

    I think this is the best way to discover the Grenadines. Sailing to paradisical islands, snorkel and kitesurf when you can and enjoying great food and company on board. Thanks to the hardworking and always smiling crew of Jana, Bruno and Alex.

    Sebastian at Grenadines fishing is an outstanding captain, fisherman and person. Very accommodating, accessible and a blast to fish with. They put me on multiple species with various tactics… jigging, poppers, trawling and deep drops. The best fishing in St Vincent and the Grenadines without a doubt! I have fished many locations and highly recommend you get in touch with them if you’re planning a trip or thinking about visiting one of the most beautiful places on earth…. Oh yeah and catch some fish while you’re there!

    this was a great experience, have been wanting to try this for years, am avid wakeboarder and wake surfer, so thought this would be a piece of cake, I was wrong. there is alot of learning involved on how to control that kite, but my instructor (Bianca) was great. I was impressed with how much she taught me about the kite, how to assemble and get the kite and harness ready, spent a great deal of time on safety and just how to control the kite. I was able to get on a board the first day. It was not pretty but by day 2 I was back at it and had a blast. I will definitely be looking forward to a return trip. Again I want to thank Bianca, I appreciate her sharing all her knowledge and being patient with a newbie. I also want to thank Willard, who drove the boat and helped pull me back into the boat countless times. I had a great time learning how to kitesurf. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to learn or just get better.

    We did an island tour and a turtle watching excursion with Roseman.

    Roseman was an amazing guide, sharing the historical timeline of the island, whilst also educating us on the fauna and flora of Union island. He is very passionate about preserving the and protecting this special Island.

    Turtle watching was a very unique experience and we loved every minute, including the hike to and from the beach, adjusting to nocturnal vision and waiting for the turtles on the remote beach. Sadly we did not see a turtle that night but Roseman taught us about the turtles of the world, sharing the journey of the Leatherback Turtles to the island and their nesting process.

    My friends family are from Union Island and Roseman took the time to introduce her to relatives that she had not meet before it was an amazing experience for her.

    I found 2 options where to kite on Union Island . The first one, i was a bit disappointed , the spot was nice but much smaller as on some videos. The prices were very high and some of the staff very unfriendly so I looked into option Nr 2 . I wrote to Linda from Kite school Happy Kite . She answered immediately , gave me all infos that I wanted, super easy, extremely friendly so I booked right away a private lesson. The spot is called Fregate, super beautiful and very large lagoon ( 8 min taxi drive from clifton , can also take the Local Vans Shuttles that drives by every 15 min. Just like 1.5 USD and fun way to discover ) Nicola picked me up with his boat at the dock and we went to the spot so that was fun too. I felt immediately at ease . The lesson was very professional, super friendly , he knows exactly how to explain and to show . I was so happy that I booked a day Tour to Tobago cays , I had an other lesson there on this little super small paradise island, amazing crystal clear water. I was kiting with turtles ..than I had lobster barbecue that got prepared for us while I was on the water (linda had it booked for us ) . After that day , I was getting more and more excited , so I booked an other Tour with them to Mayreau Island , also super beautiful. kiting and had fisch for Lunch on the beach in a cute restaurant. On my last day I went on their Catamaran ( Gypsea cafe ) which is anchored by the kite spot ( Fregate ) . They remodeled it into a floating restaurant , chill platform , absolutely amazing....best food I had this whole holiday , and Frech juice.
    So don t waist any further time , ..Happy kite was definitely the right and best choice and on top of that with much better prices , the Kite material North was excellent, smiling faces and I felt very welcomed.🙏🍀⭐️ see you again

    I have Benn twice now over two years, both times have been fantastic. Will picked me up and dropped me off at my boat, and takes you to a great location to learn. He is an excellent teacher, patient and follows all the time in his dinghy. I can't wait to go back, highly recommended!

    Recently passed my PADI at home over the summer, so this was my first experience of diving outside the UK. Did 6 dives and from the first to last felt completely safe and comfortable. Diving was in a small group with DM VInce and Jeremiah and Eddie as boat support, who made sure everyone was ok, thanks guys! Dive sites were amazing with lots to see, nurse and black tipped reef sharks, eagle and sting rays to name a few. An added bonus was being able to swim with turtles in the Tobago Cays during our surface interval. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Thank you and see you next year.
