Editorial Reviews
Review
A remarkable and worthwhile guide. This guide is immediate and thorough; it gives a host of places and activities that could fulfill even the most bored tourist's desires. [The authors] take us away from palm beaches, island vistas and rugged emerald mountains and put us in touch with the people who inhabit these beautiful places. Those of us who have seen the southern Windwards as a special place for so long have reason to be thankful and relieved. --Paul Tyler, Caribbean Compass
This is an excellent guidebook for the area and is highly recommended. --A traveler
Bursting with relevant and exciting information. --Booklist

Not very fond of this book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Adventure Guide Grenada, St Vincent & Grenadines (Adventure Guide. Grenada, St. Vincent & the Grenadines) (Adventure Guide. Grenada, St. Vincent & the Grenadines) (Paperback)
I thought that this would have more information in about activities, etc. like kayaking or walking tours. However, I didn't find that the book has very much information about different types of outdoor activities and getting around. Also, the type is very big. I suppose that is helpful for people with bad eyesight, but it didn't make me happy. I prefer a smaller book with more information like Lonely Planet. The reviews of the hotels seemed to be biased. The thing that I liked about this book was that it had interesting review of the Grand Etang park.
