Travel Tips

  • Embrace the Local Culture

    Watch Bequia boatbuilders at work and try breadfruit and jackfish, the national dish.

  • Respect Nature

    Snorkel Tobago Cays Marine Park or hike La Soufrière volcano on St. Vincent.

  • Be Flexible

    Island‑hopping by ferry or charter is key; book moorings and rooms in peak winter.

  • Support Local Businesses

    Buy handcrafted model boats and spices from waterfront markets in Bequia.

Though Saint Vincent’s volcanic shores embrace Caribbean swells rather than alpine lakes, families discover freshwater sanctuaries where mountain rivers pool into emerald basins beneath rainforest canopies. At Dark View Falls’ twin cascades near Richmond Beach, bamboo rafts ferry children across the Buccament River to hidden swimming holes where local guide Kenroy demonstrates traditional river diving from moss-covered boulders—his grandfather’s rum shop marks the trailhead where $15EC bottles of strong rum await brave parents.

Bequia’s Salt Pond, a brackish lagoon behind Industry Bay, transforms into nature’s aquarium when tide and rain create perfect salinity for juvenile sea life. Firefly Plantation Hotel’s hillside cottages ($280USD/night) overlook this forgotten wetland where marine biologist Dr. Ollivierre leads Friday “Pond to Sea” expeditions, teaching children to identify baby barracuda in knee-deep shallows before they graduate to open ocean.

At Owia Salt Pond on Saint Vincent’s windward coast, Atlantic waves crash over volcanic walls into a protected tidal pool where local families gather for Sunday picnics. The naturally formed lava rock barrier creates a swimming hole of extraordinary drama—crystalline waters heated by black volcanic sand where children float safely while ocean spray creates perpetual rainbows overhead.
