Water Taxi to Grand Anse Beach - up to date info

[Perky1]

Does anyone have recent info on how to do this?  We did it 12 years ago but can’t remember where the ferry docks at in relation to cruise port.

any help would be appreciated.

Purchase tickets (wristbands) from the kiosk in cruise port terminal.  Exit rear entrance (signposted), turn right and join the water taxi queue, board.  One can’t miss it..

Like Perky, its some years since we last visited Grenada. We're planning to take a van up into the rainforest & get dropped at Grand Anse, or mebbe Morne Rouge beach.

Any idea of the latest one-way fare back to the cruise pier?

And any idea of how long a walk from, say, La Plywood beach bar on Morne Rouge to the ferry pier on Grand Anse ? Can't figure on googlemaps where the pier is.

 

TIA

Drop off at La Plywood - a far better experience.

The ferry shuttle is close to Silversands… 

So Google “distance from La Plywood to Silversands Hotel Grenada”

No doubt your van driver will be pleased to collect you from La Plywood at the required time.

Not latest - Pre-COVID - From La Plywood to Cruise Terminal was $15 - so work on $20 now - No doubt CC members will confirm current price.

The menu prices are in Caribbean Dollars..    

To roughly convert into US$, divide by 2, then deduct 25%

Many thank, found it. 

Further from Morne Rouge than I'd thought, about 1.7 miles / 33 mins.

Van back to the ship would be easier and cheaper, tho the ferry is more fun.

We'll go armed with the options and make our minds up on-the-spot depending on mood, energy levels and weather.

 

Thanx again

Happy to help.

As one knows, Grenada regularly has heavy liquid sunshine late in the afternoon.  So we always bring with us a couple of cheap disposable plastic Ponchos, just in case.

Not super new info, in March '22 it was $15USD P/P for the Water Taxi to Grand Anse, and a little more for Magazine Beach. The only thing I can't remember is if it was R/T or one way. It was a really quick and easy trip, just a few minutes.

Any insight please… Is this &15 per person One Way or round-trip?

It was 10.00 pp round trip in April 2022. I see there’s an increase now to 15.00 pp, but I would think it’s still for a round trip.

Plywood update

We originally asked to go to La Plywood.   Taxi dropped us off right next door at kalingo.   We rented chairs.  No need for umbrella as plenty of trees.  We purchased a couple of drinks while there.  A lot cheaper than all inclusive.   Taxi was $16 each way.  We arranged for our driver to pick us up also.  BTW, looking over at La Playa it looked pretty rundown   

Thank you so much for this valuable update…. Will now make others aware of the poor state of Plywood, so they make the right and informed choice.
