Saint Vincent history dates back over 1000 years
It's true that the biggest draw to the Caribbean country is the long list of outdoor adventures, but there are some cultural attractions which shouldn't be skipped. A good introduction is Fort Charlotte and Duvernette, both early 19th-century structures which still house old canons among other artifacts. Another exciting discovery is the Arawak Rock Carvings, images of human figures that date back well over 1,000 years. When you stay at the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, don't miss a visit to the summit of La Soufriere Volcano, where you can admire breath-taking views down over the archipelago.
Adventures for all ages in Saint Vincent
Being surrounding by the azure Caribbean Sea, it's hardly surprisingly that you can find water sports near your Saint Vincent and the Grenadines vacation rental in abundance. Those who have PADI certifications can hop aboard one of the daily scuba diving charters which head out to the reef. If you don't, fear not. You can always try for your certification while you're on the islands. If that's not your thing, consider exploring all 32 islands in the archipelago by island hopping or taking to paddleboards or sea kayaks to glide along the coastline at your own pace.
Escape to Saint Vincent for winter sunshine
Most travelers are lured into the Caribbean during the winter months, when the sunny weather is in stark contrast with the snow and below-freezing temperatures back home. While these months are undoubtably good, they typically see the highest rates on Saint Vincent and the Grenadines vacation rentals. If you'd rather spend your bucks on water sports and the attractions, you could consider bagging a rental between April and May, or November, when the rainy season and hurricanes have yet to kick in and the sky-high festive season pricing has all but dropped off, along with the crowds.
Sea turtles and reef sharks in Saint Vincent
Coming to stay in a Saint Vincent and the Grenadines vacation rental for the wildlife? You're in luck. While land-dwelling critters might be a little thin on the ground (though you'll likely spot whistling frogs, geckos and basking iguanas), there are more than 150 species of avifauna to view, many of which are native. Be sure to clear your mask because when you drop below the ocean's surface, a whole world of marine life call these waters home. You can expect to see nurse sharks, seahorses and a host of sea turtles, not to mention the occasional reef shark and dolphin.
