They are all uninhabited and encompassed in the Tobago Cays Marine, which helps preserve, protect and manage the wonderful ecosystem that exists within the crystal clear waters of the cays, and a beautiful place to see on our St. Vincent sailing itinerary.

Day 3 of our St. Vincent sailing itinerary is also dedicated to Tobago Cays. Known as the “Jewel in the Crown” of the Southern Grenadines, you will definitely want to spend as much time here as possible. While Tobago Cays holds many amazing adventures below the water’s surface, there’s plenty to do on land as well. Hiking, bird watching, sunbathing, spend the day soaking up the sun and exploring these beautiful Cays.

After a few days in Tobago Cays, it’s time to move on to Petit St. Vincent. Here, you can set up on the small sand islet, Mopion, where there is a tiny coconut thatch umbrella to give some shade. Many visitors will carve names and initials into the post of the umbrella. As the entire island of Petit St. Vincent functions as a luxury resort, there’s no shortage of activities.
