Saint Vincent & The Grenadines You
can travel for little money from St. Vincent to Grenada by ferry and
back. Main stops are Mustique, Bequia, Canouan, Mayreau, Union Island.
From Union Island you can take as well a taxi boat to the uninhabited
islands of the Grenadines. Small boats are going to Carriacou every
day. Between Carriacou and Grenada operates the Osprey fast ferry.
Trinidad The 20-mile trip from Trinidad to Tobago takes about two and a half hours on the Inter-Island Ferry
