Getting to Carriacou

Getting to Carriacou is just a "quick hop" away from mainland Grenada by either air or boat. There is a small airport (Lauriston) on the island serviced by local airline SVG Airline and a small ferry boat, the Osprey that runs between Carriacou, Grenada and Petite Martinique. The short distances between the Grenadines enables travel between them by small boats.

By Sea

For visitors already in Grenada the Osprey ferry operates daily round-trip service between Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique. The 90-minute journey on a power-catamaran travels along Grenada's scenic west coast from St. George's, passing the small islands between Grenada and Carriacou and arriving in Hillsborough, before going onto Petite Martinique.

For a day trip to Carriacou passengers should get to the Queen's Jetty on the Carenage (opposite the Fire Station) by 08:30 to purchase tickets from the Osprey's ticket counter. In Carriacou tickets can be purchased from the Osprey's office on Main Street, Hillsborough. Tickets cost EC $80 one-way or EC $160 return per person.
