Hello,
We are preparing for our first trip to St. Vincent & the Grenadines in early May. We will be staying on Bequia, and intend on spending most of our time there. However, one of my sons really wants to have a day spent on St. Vincent exploring/hiking rainforest, waterfalls, and anything else we can fit in to see the natural side of St. Vincent.
After a bit of research through the forum and on search engines, I have found limited information about a trip of this nature. I did find that Sail Grenadines does a trip, "Bequia - Wallibalou," which sounds closest to what we are seeking.
Any other recommendations of where to look for this type of experience?
Thank you for your time!

Hi there. We would highly recommend "Lavaman" who is based on St. Vincent. You can catch the 6.30am ferry and spend the day with him. He can pick you up. Then catch the ferry back to Bequia as late as 6pm the same day. He knows the place like the back of his hand and can take you to waterfalls, through rainforest, hot springs etc. He uses WhatsApp +1 784 454 5999.
The other option is to see if the boat Gusto is doing a trip up the leeward coast of St. Vincent. This will involve a little rainforest hike and a tri to Dark View waterfalls. This trip doesn't run every week though and they will need minimum numbers (or you charter the boat) to get it off the ground.
Hope that helps.
Richmond Vale Academy offers various tours near their facility on the north end St Vincent. If you are fit enough the volcano hike is well worth it. There are a number of tour operators. offering volcano walks. The volcano requires a guide at least to keep you out of trouble with the ganga farmers.
There is a person under the name of vincycation adventure on Facebook. I have never used them but the seem to have some decent offerings.
Get a cab to deliver you to the Parrot Walk and do a self guided walk. Easy, simple and safe. There are other places on St Vincent that you can readily visit as a cob tour.
Get the St Vincent travel materials, from the SVG government, and have a look.
