I visited Grand Etang Lake and visitors center as part of a full day tour with JnJ Tours out of St. George's. It was over-crowded, and a definite tourist trap. It takes a very long time to get there through windy roads in the rainforest - I do not recommend for anyone who gets car sick easily. Don't bother wasting... More

Stopped here for a photo op during our ship excursion. Wouldn't write home. A lake in an extinct volcano. Not worth a special trip.

If you're in the area, stop to take a few pictures - it's pretty remarkable to see a huge lake that is actually a dormant volcano. It's pretty out-of-the-way, and if you've ever driven in Grenada, you'll know it's not easy to drive these roads, so only stop here if you happen to be in this area anyway. The scenery... More

Grenada is a beautiful verdant island that is clean and the people delightful. We went with a taxi driver from our cruise ship and wanted to visit the forest around the lake. Fortunately we got there before the masses arrived and the stalls were opened. We were greeted by a nice lady who attempted to describe to us the three... More

It is a wonderful area. The monkeys come out to visit.Unfortunately we did not have time to go for a hike which I am quite sure would have raised my review score. So if you do go make time for a hike.

If you're not planning to do any hiking, Grand Etang doesn't offer much except a view of the crater lake outside the Welcome Center and an opportunity to see some mona monkeys up close. The Welcome Center has some interesting information on the ecology and history of Grand Etang. There's a bar / restaurant on-site and a few vendors are... More

We hired a car and drove up to Grand Etang Lake - which gives me an excuse to comment on driving in Grenada. Forget alpha male driving and let everything pass you at every opportunity, particularly taxis; Assume a car/taxi will be coming round the next corner on your side of the road; Watch for the many speed bumps -...

We drove in a private taxi we hired up to Grand Etang Reserve. Our driver was a Grenadian who gave us a wonderful 1/2 day tour around the island. He drove us up to the lake there where we saw the wild Mona monkeys come out and get bananas from us. Take bananas and wrapped candy. They like unwrapping the... More

Not many signs to get you there. Just ask and you will be pointed in the right direction. Good for hiking but other than that, see the Monkeys and a lake. Take some bananas to feed then.

This was a nice trip with the highlight being seeing the monkeys nearby. We took a short hike where we saw the abandoned crater..grand etang lake. There's nothing much to do apart from visiting the lake and seeing the monkeys.
