Why kitesurfing in Grenadines Islands is a good choice ?
The Grenadines Islands are a dream destination: the archipelago is located in the south of the West Indies, between Saint Lucia and Grenada, and has dozens of idyllic islets. This was the setting used for the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean.
The landscape is breathtaking: a translucent and radiant sea, beautiful fauna and flora, white sandbanks everywhere.
It’s an ideal destination by boat (cruise – you navigate from spot to spot) or for a hotel stay (prefer Union Island or Palm Island, which are good starting points for sailing to neighboring islands for the day). From Union Island, it’s very easy to reach Mayreau Island, or the Tobago Cays for a day trip.
In any case, you will enjoy perfect kite conditions and the beauty of the scenery.
NB: Saint Vincent is the main island.
Best season for kiting: December to May.
