This dive site, which sometimes receives tough currents, gets its name because of its cone-shaped rock which comes within 12 feet of the surface.

Montreal Gardens

Although smaller than the Botanical Gardens in Kingstown, these gardens still feature many species of exotic plants.

Reviewed By johnkO5414FG - Johnsburg, United States

The Montreal Gardens are a true labor of love created by its gardener Timothy Vaughn. He has put his heart and soul and over twenty-five years of his life into designing and developing a magnificent botanical garden encompassing seven acres of lush hills and valleys less than an hour's drive outside of Kingstown, St. Vincent. The variety of plants and flowers is extraordinary. Although this hidden gem is off the beaten path, it is worth the adventure of navigating the backroads needed to get there. For a mere $5 you are treated to a beautiful place surrounded by the welcoming sea and steep tropical mountain tops. You will find yourself immersed in your very own Garden of Eden, with all of the stimulating sights, smells and sounds of nature. The Montreal Gardens are like none other. I recommend that you check them out. You won't be disappointed.

Botanical Gardens

The Botanical Gardens are one of the most important and popular sites in St Vincent. They are the oldest botanical gardens in the Western Hemisphere (established in 1765) and are also an important conservation site (particularly for the St Vincent parrot). The Botanical Gardens are in Kingstown, a short journey from the town centre.

Not the biggest gardens in the world, but well worth a visit. Recommend the guided tour, our guide, Cornelius was excellent. Lots to see from all around the world.

Vermont Nature Trail

The Vermont Nature Trail takes you through lush rainforest with an amazing variety of tropical flora,beautiful scenery and a chance to see the famous St. Vincent Parrot in its natural habitat. Majestic cliffs reach for the sky, giving way to sweeping valleys. Ambient temperatures and abundant rainfall give rise to profusion in the growth of vegetation. The trail is in the picturesque Buccament valley within the St. Vincent Parrot Reserve and the more encompassing proposed Central Forest Reserve.

beautiful nature. easy to go alone dont pay for organized tour. you spend only few bucks per head. you can take a minivan to Vermont village from Kingstown, and walk from there. just ask the people on the street, they tell you where to search for the "bus terminal" its a half day activity. bring water and some snacks with you. it is a loop trail so it does not matter which direction you start. can be slippery after rain so hiking shoes or sandals recommended. otherwise is an easy walk not to demanding if you are in good physical condition. 3 hours to count approx. luckily we did not met many ppl on the way, somehow we managed to avoid the cruise crowed. I loved it. also to sit down in the shade and just listen. we could not see the famous parrots but still it was a great experience.

La Soufriere Cross Country Trail

The La Soufriere Cross Country Trail winds its way from sea level up to the top of the majestic La Soufriere Volcano (4048ft/ 1178m). Granite cliffs reach for the sky, giving way to sweeping valleys and deep gorges and eventually the immense volcanic crater. The walk to the crater is moderately difficult, and takes about two hours uphill from the windward side. The La Soufriere Cross Country Trail snakes across the width of St Vincent, and can be walked from either the leeward or windward coast. The total trail is approximately 9 miles (15 km) long and offers breath-taking panoramic views of the surrounding land and seascape and close encounters with fauna.

My Wife and I had Fraser tours take us up the Windward trail and back down the same way. We are not hikers so the steeper portions were slightly challenging but the views and atmosphere well worth the effort. The crater is the destination but the whole experience is memorable. It's best to get to the top near midday otherwise the crater may be cloudy. We got lucky and it cleared up enough to take our pictures and enjoy the natural beauty. I would recommend a guide if only to keep you motivated and provide backup supplies. Remember to bring plenty of water! It took us 2.5 hours up and 1.5 hours down. Overall this is a wonderful experience in St. Vincent.

Falls of Baleine

The Falls of Baleine is among St. Vincent's finest natural wonders. The sparkling waters plunge about 60ft into a rock-enclosed fresh water pool, perfect for swimming. The Falls is only accessible by boat, with a short walk through a narrow valley with cliffs on both sides. Falls of Baleine is approximately 20 miles/32km from the Cruise Ship Terminal in Kingstown.
