The best time to visit St. Vincent des Grenadines

Just like most Caribbean islands, the best time to visit St. Vincent des Grenadines is during the shoulder months for the less expensive prices and considerably fewer crowds. The best time to visit St. Vincent des Grenadines is between May and June for just that reason.

Between July and October is the off-season that corresponds with hurricane season in this area. Tropical storms height is in July and they'll last until October but the landscape of these islands is majestic and your trip will be considerably less expensive. 

November at the tail end of hurricane season and an excellent time to go for those wanting to save some money but not sacrifice the sunny experience. 

Between December and April is the peak tourism season on these islands. Hotel rates and crowds will be at their height but the weather is perfect and this can be a nice break from the winter season depending on where you're coming from.
Enjoy the tranquil beaches of Tortola

Windward Islands Weather

The Windward Islands have warm, comfortable temperatures throughout the year - except during hurricane season, depending on what island you're staying on.

Be sure to sign up for all the tours, otherwise you will be sitting on the boat since not all stops are moored at a dock. Some are anchored.

There were two best aspects to our trip: 1. The Adventure Life folks and the folks in Athens and Crete who supported our itinerary, guided us, and ran the cooking program were all superb. 2. Everything they all planned for us went without a hitch. When we needed a bit of help, they came through with really good answers. We became aware of AL from a friend who had an excellent experience in a different location. So did we. We can recommend AL without reservation.

We have used AL for decades now to plan trips. Kassandra has been with us from the start and has never disappointed. She knows our family and our quirks and is always willing to fit the trip to us. This time we made her work for the booking because of family member schedules. It has all come together for a great Christmas gift for many families.
