Secure Cheap Flights to Grenada and Explore the Spice Isle

Winter is the peak season in Grenada, offering the driest weather and perfect conditions for sailing and beach activities.

Spring brings blooming tropical flowers and the famous Billfish Tournament, with slightly lower prices than the winter peak.

Summer is the time for Spicemas, Grenada's premier carnival. Expect humidity and rain, but amazing cultural energy and lower airfare.

Fall is the quietest time to visit. While it's the rainy season, you'll find the best deals on accommodation and empty beaches.

Brazilians usually do not need a visa for short stays in Grenada for tourism. You must present a valid passport with at least six months of validity remaining from your date of entry. It is also mandatory to show a return or onward ticket to prove your intention to leave the island. While the process is straightforward, always check for the latest health entry requirements or digital customs forms that might be required before boarding. Having a printed copy of your hotel reservation or accommodation details can help speed up the immigration process upon arrival. Remember that while a visa is not required, the final decision on the length of stay rests with the immigration officer at the airport.

Navigating Grenada is quite different from the large metropolitan areas of Brazil. The most common way to get around is by using the local minibus system, which is affordable and covers most major routes. These vans are a great way to experience the island like a local. If you prefer more freedom, car rentals are available, but remember that driving is on the left side of the road. You will need to obtain a local temporary driving permit, which can usually be processed at the rental agency or a local police station. Taxis are plentiful but do not have meters, so it is vital to agree on the fare in the local currency or US dollars before starting your journey to avoid surprises.

Grenadian food is a vibrant mix of African, East Indian, and French influences, making it a unique experience compared to Brazilian feijoada. The national dish is Oil Down, a hearty one-pot meal made with breadfruit, salted meat, chicken, dumplings, and callaloo, all steamed in coconut milk and turmeric. Since the island is known as the Spice Isle, expect nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves to feature in both savory dishes and desserts. Seafood is a staple, with fresh catch like mahi-mahi and snapper readily available at beachside grills. For a local experience, visit the markets in St. George's to try fresh cocoa tea or spice-infused rum. Street food is generally safe and offers a delicious, low-cost way to taste the authentic flavors of the Caribbean.

Grenada is generally very safe for tourists, often ranking higher in safety than many large cities in South America. However, standard precautions should still be taken. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash or wearing expensive jewelry in secluded areas. One common minor issue is overcharging by unlicensed guides or vendors at popular waterfalls and beaches. Always use official taxis and clarify prices for services beforehand. During the hurricane season from June to November, keep an eye on weather reports. For the best photo opportunities without the crowds, head to Fort George early in the morning. TICKETS.COM.BR recommends visiting the underwater sculpture park for a truly unique memory; just ensure you book with a reputable boat operator to get the best equipment and safety briefing.
