Arrive in beautiful Grenada, where your carnival adventure begins! Once you’ve settled into your chosen accommodation, take some time to relax, explore your surroundings, or simply unwind after your journey. Later in the day, get ready to mix and mingle at the Soca Islands Meet and Greet—the perfect chance to meet your fellow Soca Islanders who’ll be your companions for the next seven days of fun and festivities. With the vibes flowing and the energy building, we’ll kick things off in true carnival style by heading to our first event on the itinerary—Preeday. It’s the ultimate way to jumpstart your week of celebration on the Spice Island!
Get ready to discover the breathtaking natural beauty and rich traditions of Grenada with a day full of adventure and exploration. We’ll start with a visit to the stunning Grand Etang Lake, nestled high in the island’s lush rainforest. Surrounded by rolling hills and vibrant greenery, it's the perfect spot to soak in the island’s natural serenity. Next, we’ll dive into Grenada’s flavorful heritage with a rum distillery tour, where you’ll learn about the island’s centuries-old rum-making process—and of course, enjoy a few samples along the way. Then, satisfy your sweet tooth as we explore the world of Grenadian chocolate, learning how it’s made from bean to bar. To top it all off, we’ll take a refreshing dip in a natural pool at the base of a cascading waterfall—a perfect way to cool down and connect with the island’s untamed beauty. It’s a day packed with culture, nature, and unforgettable memories.
Today’s all about high-energy vibes and unforgettable experiences, both on the water and on the stage. We kick things off with Soca Raff Up, the third event on our itinerary—a lively cooler boat cruise where you bring your own drinks, dance to non-stop soca, and sail through the stunning waters of Grenada. Feel the rhythm, soak in the views, and let the good times roll with your fellow Soca Islanders.
Later in the evening, the excitement continues as we head to one of the biggest events of the season—the Soca Monarch Finals. Get ready to witness the island’s top soca artistes go head-to-head in an electrifying competition, delivering unforgettable performances and infectious energy on one stage. It’s a night of music, passion, and pure Caribbean talent you won’t want to miss!
Start your day at your own pace—the morning is yours to enjoy however you please. Whether you feel like lounging on the beach, exploring the island, or simply relaxing at your accommodation, it’s the perfect time to soak up a little quiet before the next big event. In the afternoon, we turn up the vibes at the fourth fete on our itinerary—“Shhhhhh”, a premium food and drink inclusive party that’s anything but quiet! Get ready for an unforgettable experience filled with great music, delicious cuisine, refreshing drinks, and the kind of energy only Grenada Carnival can deliver.
Today is all about good vibes and great company as we sail into the day’s festivities with Rum Boat—the fifth fete on our itinerary. This drinks-inclusive boat party is the perfect way to kick off your morning, complete with stunning ocean views, nonstop soca music, and an open bar to keep the energy flowing. Dance, mingle, and soak up the Caribbean sun as we cruise through Grenada’s crystal-clear waters.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. As the sun sets, we head to Sunny Side Up, the final fete on our unforgettable carnival journey. This lively drinks-inclusive event brings the heat with pulsating music, vibrant crowds, and an electric atmosphere to close out the experience in true Soca Islands style. Get ready to party from sunrise to sunset—it’s the ultimate celebration of life, culture, and pure joy!
Get ready for one of the most exhilarating days of your Grenada Carnival experience! We kick things off bright and early with the legendary Jab Jab J’ouvert, often hailed as the best J’ouvert celebration in the world. Covered in paint, oil, or mud, you’ll dance through the streets to the infectious rhythms of soca as the sun rises—this is raw, authentic Caribbean culture at its finest.
After a quick refresh, the celebrations continue in the afternoon as we take to the streets of St. George’s for day one of the Carnival Street Parade. The city bursts into life with vibrant costumes, high-energy music, and powerful expressions of cultural pride. Expect to be swept up in a wave of color, joy, and island spirit as we revel alongside locals and visitors alike.
And just when you think the day is done, we turn up the vibes once more for Monday Night Mas! As night falls, we light up the streets with glowing costumes, flashing lights, and nonstop dancing. It’s a magical end to a day that truly captures the heart and soul of Spicemas—unforgettable, unfiltered, and undeniably fun.
Today, we hit the streets of St. George’s, the vibrant capital of Grenada, for the grand finale of the Carnival street celebrations! This time, it’s all about showing up in your full costume—a dazzling display of feathers, jewels, and vibrant colors that reflect the spirit and energy of Spicemas. As we parade through the city, the atmosphere is electric with music, dancing, and celebration. It’s your moment to shine, celebrate freedom, and revel in one of the most unforgettable carnival experiences in the Caribbean!
As your unforgettable Grenada adventure comes to an end, enjoy a relaxing final morning on the island. Depending on your departure time, you may have a few hours to squeeze in some last-minute souvenir shopping, take a refreshing dip in the sea, or simply soak up a few more moments of island bliss. Before heading to the airport, take a moment to reflect on the incredible memories made and say goodbye to the beautiful island of Grenada—and of course, to the amazing new friends you’ve shared this journey with. Until next time, Soca Islander!
