About this eSIM

Three islands, one small population, and a mountainous interior that decides where the signal goes. That is the whole story of using a phone in Grenada. The southwest, where the airport, the capital and most of the hotels sit, is comfortably connected. The rainforest ridges in the middle, the windward coast and the trip across to Carriacou are where you notice that this is a small island network doing a lot with limited geography.

Getting online when you land

Maurice Bishop International sits on the Point Salines peninsula at the southwestern tip, close to the main hotel strip, so the transfer is short. Install the eSIM at home over wi-fi before you travel, then switch the line on once you are through the terminal doors.

Getting connected before you leave the airport is worth the two minutes. Taxi fares here are set by route rather than by meter, and being able to check your hotel's directions, message a host or pull up a booking makes the first conversation easier. If you have a boat charter, a dive briefing or a ferry to catch, confirm the timing while you are certain of your signal.

Yacht arrivals into Prickly Bay, St George's or Port Louis have the same routine with an extra wrinkle: coming in from another island, your phone may still be holding onto a network from wherever you sailed from, so check the network name once you are properly alongside.

The networks you'll be on

Service comes from FLOW, the operator listed for Grenada, on 4G LTE. In the developed parts of the island that gives you a solid everyday connection, with 4G/LTE doing the work and 3G filling in as you get further from the main centres.

With one listed operator there is no alternative to switch to, so the sensible approach is to use what you have well. Do heavy downloads and photo backups on hotel or restaurant wi-fi, which is widely available across the south coast, and let the mobile connection handle navigation, messaging and everyday browsing. Rain squalls, which arrive quickly here, can knock a marginal connection about for a few minutes; that usually passes.

Where coverage holds, and where it thins

The southwest is the strong quarter. St George's, the Carenage, Grand Anse, Morne Rouge, Lance aux Epines, True Blue and the airport area all have dependable service, as does the main road running north along the leeward coast towards Gouyave and Victoria. The south coast marinas are well served, which matters if you are living on a boat for a week.

The interior is where it drops. Grand Etang, the crater lake and the rainforest trails around it sit high and enclosed, and coverage there is patchy at best. The waterfall walks at Concord, Seven Sisters and Royal Mount Carmel put you in steep valleys under heavy canopy, which is the least helpful combination there is. Expect gaps on the cross island road over the ridge as well.

The windward side is thinner than the leeward side. Grenville, Sauteurs and the northern villages have service in town, with quieter stretches between them and around Levera and the eastern beaches.

Carriacou is its own case. Hillsborough and Tyrrel Bay are covered, but the island is small and lightly populated and reception falls away in the remoter corners and along the empty beaches. The ferry crossing itself is largely offline mid channel, and Petite Martinique is quieter again. Anyone going out to Sandy Island or diving off the reefs should plan on a disconnected day.

What you'll actually use data for here

Booking and rearranging, mostly. Dive shops, sailing trips, waterfall tours and chocolate and rum estate visits all run on small operator schedules that flex with the weather and the number of guests, and most of the back and forth happens by phone or message. Restaurant tables, particularly on a Friday when Gouyave is busy, get held the same way.

Maps help for driving, which is the usual way to see the island. The roads are narrow, steep and often unsigned, and the difference between the coast road and a mistake in the hills is significant. Cache the map before you set off rather than relying on loading it as you go.

English is spoken everywhere, so translation never comes up. What does come up is weather, especially in storm season, when forecasts and any official advisories are worth checking daily. The rest is photographs of the harbour, the spice markets and a lot of very green hillsides.

Before you fly

Install the profile at home and confirm it is showing before you travel. Keep your usual SIM in for calls and verification texts, with its data roaming switched off so nothing drifts onto an expensive network.

Download offline maps covering the whole island plus Carriacou, and screenshot your accommodation address, transfer or ferry booking, dive shop contact and return flight reference. Save a pin for your hotel, since directions here are given by landmark far more often than by street name.

Carry a power bank for long days out, keep the phone dry on boat trips and out of the sun in the car, and treat any day in the rainforest or across the water as one where people will not be able to reach you until you are back on the coast.

Unlimited runs at full speed up to a fair-use limit, then continues slower.

Before you buy

Important to know

This is a data-only eSIM. It carries no calls or SMS on its own number.
Your existing number stays on your primary SIM, so calls and verification texts keep working.
Your phone must support eSIM, and some carrier-locked phones cannot install one.
Signal varies with location, terrain, congestion and your handset. Dense urban areas are consistently better served than remote ones.
The eSIM selects a host network automatically. You cannot pick or switch between them.
Unlimited plans run at full speed up to a fair-use limit, then continue at a reduced speed. Read the fair usage policy

Frequently asked questions

Does an eSIM work in Grenada?

Yes. Your Grenada eSIM connects automatically the moment you arrive, with no roaming fees and nothing to set up at the airport. The host networks it can use are FLOW. Coverage runs on 4G LTE. There is no 5G on our host network in Grenada yet.

Do I get 5G in Grenada?

No. FLOW do not yet offer 5G to visitors in Grenada, so your eSIM connects over 4G LTE or slower. Anyone claiming 5G for this destination is quoting a spec sheet, not the network you will actually get.

Has Carriacou recovered from Hurricane Beryl?

Recovery has been going on since July 2024, when Beryl damaged or destroyed about 99 percent of Carriacou's buildings and 70 percent on Petite Martinique. Some businesses have reopened, but check directly with your accommodation and tour operators shortly before you travel. Expect mobile coverage on the sister islands to be weaker than on Grenada itself.

Which mobile networks work in Grenada?

Grenada has two mobile operators, FLOW and Digicel. Both cover the south-west of the main island well, including St George's, Grand Anse and the airport. Your eSIM uses FLOW's 4G network only, so it won't switch to Digicel when FLOW's signal is weak in the rainforest interior or on the windward coast.

Do I need a local driving licence in Grenada?

It is strongly recommended. The US State Department says visitors should get a local temporary driving permit, and that without one you may be fined after an accident regardless of fault. Car hire firms can usually arrange it. Remember that Grenada drives on the left, and that seat belts are compulsory.

When is hurricane season in Grenada?

The Atlantic season runs from June to November, and the US State Department says the greatest risk for Grenada is from August to October, peaking in September. Storms can close the airport and stop ferries. Keep your phone and a power bank charged, and turn on weather alerts while you are there.

How much data do I need for 7 days in Grenada?

For 7 days in Grenada, Viasimo sells 1 GB for $11.99 and unlimited data for $109.99. Our sizing recommendation, not a measurement: maps, messaging and the occasional lookup, about 1 GB a week; maps, social, photos and some browsing, about 3 to 7 GB a week. The data calculator on this site works it out from how you actually use your phone.

Know before you go

Grenada: what to know before you land

Your eSIM in Grenada runs on FLOW's 4G, one of the two networks on the islands alongside Digicel. If Carriacou or Petite Martinique is on your route, remember that Hurricane Beryl damaged almost every building on Carriacou in July 2024 and briefly cut power and telecoms across the country. Pay in Eastern Caribbean dollars, and get a local driving permit if you plan to hire a car.

Carriacou and Petite Martinique after Hurricane Beryl

On 1 July 2024 Hurricane Beryl made landfall on Carriacou as a Category 4 storm with winds of about 220 km/h. It damaged or destroyed around 99 percent of the island's buildings and roughly 70 percent on Petite Martinique, stripped Carriacou of most of its vegetation and badly damaged its marinas. On the main island of Grenada, about 95 percent of residents lost power and telecommunications went down for a time.

Rebuilding has been under way since then, but if you're visiting the sister islands, plan for a place still recovering:

Check with your accommodation and dive operator shortly before you travel about what is open, and confirm by message rather than relying on old listings.
Expect weaker phone coverage around Hillsborough, Tyrrel Bay and the north of Carriacou than you had on Grenada, especially if masts were replaced with temporary equipment.
Download offline maps and your ferry or flight details before you leave St George's.

Beryl is a reminder that the Grenada mobile network can go down completely in a major storm. Keep a printed list of important numbers in your bag.

Hurricane season and storm alerts in Grenada

The official Atlantic hurricane season runs from June to November. The US State Department notes that the highest risk for Grenada is from August to October, with September the peak month. Storms can bring flooding and storm surge as well as wind, and can close the airport and ferries at short notice.

If you're travelling in that window:

Follow the forecasts every day, and keep the US National Hurricane Center or your weather app's alerts switched on.
Keep your phone and a power bank fully charged whenever a storm is forecast, as power cuts often come before mobile networks fail.
Note your hotel's storm plan and the hospital number (473-440-2051) in your phone and on paper.

High surf and rip currents can happen at any time of year, not only in hurricane season. On the Atlantic-facing windward coast in particular, check local warnings before swimming. If you take a small boat between islands, the State Department advises checking that it carries life jackets and a radio first.

Driving Grenada's left-hand roads, and paying in EC dollars

Grenada drives on the left, and the roads are narrow, steep and winding, with patchy street lighting at night. The State Department recommends getting a local temporary driving permit, which car hire firms can usually help you arrange. Without one you may be fined after an accident, whoever was at fault. Seat belts are compulsory, with fines reported at up to US$400.

The currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD), which is pegged at EC$2.70 to the US dollar and shared with seven other Eastern Caribbean islands. Cards are generally accepted in tourist areas around Grand Anse, St George's and the south coast marinas. Smaller shops, rum shops, roadside stalls and rural areas expect cash. ATMs take foreign cards, though some charge high fees.

Two more practical points:

Sockets are the British Type G, at 230V, so North American visitors need an adapter.
Flying a drone is legal but needs approval from the Royal Grenada Police Force first, which is worth knowing if you're planning aerial shots of Grand Anse Beach or the Carenage.

7-day itinerary

Seven days in Grenada: St George's, the rainforest interior, the spice north and Carriacou

A week that mixes beach and island life: base yourself at Grand Anse for St George's, the sculpture park and the rainforest, loop the north for nutmeg, chocolate and rum, then take the ferry to Carriacou for Sandy Island and quieter reefs.

Length: 7 days
Bases: 2

When to go January to May is the dry season; June to November is hurricane season, with the highest risk from August to October, when ferries and flights can be cancelled at short notice.

Day 1 Grand Anse

St George's: the Carenage and the forts

Maurice Bishop International (GND) is about 15 minutes from Grand Anse by taxi.

Start on the Carenage, the horseshoe harbour at the heart of St George's, and find the Christ of the Abyss statue on the waterfront. Walk up to Fort George for the view over the harbour and red-roofed hillsides, then take a taxi up Richmond Hill to Fort Frederick. Pass through the Sendall Tunnel back towards Market Square. End the day on Grand Anse beach for sunset.

Signal FLOW 4G is strong across St George's, Grand Anse and the airport, the best-covered part of the island.
Day 2 Grand Anse

Underwater Sculpture Park and the south-west beaches

Take a boat from Grand Anse or St George's to Molinière Point to snorkel or dive the Underwater Sculpture Park, a ring of figures in shallow water slowly being colonised by coral. Spend the afternoon at Morne Rouge, the sheltered bay just south of Grand Anse, or Magazine Beach near the airport. In the evening, take the bus back into St George's for dinner by the Carenage.

Signal 4G holds on the short boat ride to Molinière and on the south-west beaches; leave the phone in a dry bag while you snorkel.
Day 3 Grand Anse

The rainforest interior: Grand Etang and the waterfalls

About 30 to 45 minutes by road from Grand Anse to Grand Etang; the mountain road is narrow and winding.

Drive up into the mountains to Annandale Falls, a short walk from the road. Continue to Grand Etang National Park and its crater lake, watching for Mona monkeys along the access lane, and walk one of the forest trails from the visitor centre. With a local guide, hike the steep, muddy trail to the Seven Sisters falls and swim in the pools.

Signal Coverage weakens sharply in the interior: expect patchy 4G at the Grand Etang visitor centre and little or nothing on the Seven Sisters trail.
Day 4 Grand Anse

The spice north: Gouyave, Belmont and River Antoine

A full-day loop by hire car or driver; get a local temporary driving permit, and drive on the left.

Drive up the west coast to Gouyave and tour the nutmeg processing station, then cross the north of the island to Belmont Estate, an old plantation now making chocolate from its own cocoa. Visit the River Antoine rum distillery, still driven by a water wheel, and finish at Levera Beach on the north-east tip. If it is a Friday, stay for Gouyave's Fish Friday street food night.

Signal 4G is good in Gouyave and Grenville but patchy on the winding north-coast roads and around Levera.
Day 5 Carriacou

Ferry to Carriacou and Paradise Beach

Osprey ferry, about 90 minutes direct; it sails only on certain days, so plan the week around the schedule. SVG Air also flies to Lauriston Airport.

Take the Osprey fast ferry from St George's to Carriacou. Check in with your accommodation, since the island has been rebuilding since Hurricane Beryl damaged almost every building in 2024. In the afternoon, walk to Paradise Beach near L'Esterre, a long sweep of white sand behind the barrier reef with calm water for swimming. Watch sunset over Tyrrel Bay.

Signal 4G for most of the crossing, then weaker coverage on Carriacou than on Grenada, especially around Hillsborough and Tyrrel Bay.
Day 6 Carriacou

Sandy Island and Anse La Roche

Take a water taxi from Hillsborough or Paradise Beach to Sandy Island, a sandbar with palms and good snorkelling on the reef; bring water and shade, as there are no facilities. In the afternoon, walk the coastal trail to Anse La Roche on the north-west coast, a quiet beach with old fort and plantation ruins. Divers can head out with one of the Tyrrel Bay operators instead.

Signal You may keep a weak signal on Sandy Island from the main island; the Anse La Roche trail has little or none.
Day 7 Grand Anse

Back to Grenada

Osprey ferry to St George's, about 90 minutes.

Take the morning ferry back to St George's. Spend the afternoon on a last walk around the Carenage and the spice stalls in Market Square, or a final swim at Grand Anse. If you are flying out today, check the ferry timetable against your flight time, as delays are common in rough seas, and consider leaving a spare night on Grenada.

Signal Back on strong FLOW 4G in St George's and Grand Anse for check-in and boarding passes.

Staying connected on this route

Download offline maps of Grenada's interior and of Carriacou before leaving Grand Anse.
Confirm Carriacou accommodation and dive bookings by message shortly before you go, as post-Beryl listings can be out of date.
In hurricane season, keep a power bank charged and weather alerts switched on; power often fails before mobile networks do.
Your eSIM uses FLOW only, so it will not move to Digicel where Digicel is stronger.
