32 Offbeat Cruise Excursions That Go Way Beyond Sightseeing

27. Visit a Chocolate Farm in Grenada

Grenada, lovingly known as the “Spice Island,” offers a deliciously unexpected detour for food lovers: touring a working chocolate farm nestled in its lush, tropical interior. On this excursion, you’ll walk through vibrant cacao groves, inhale the rich aroma of fermenting beans, and learn every step of the bean-to-bar process. It’s a hands-on experience—you’ll crack open cacao pods, taste fresh beans, and sample rich, dark chocolate handcrafted on-site. Many of these small farms are organic and family-run, blending chocolate-making with local traditions and sustainable farming practices. Pro Tip: Bring extra cash or a card—the chocolate bars, spiced truffles, and cocoa tea blends make perfect souvenirs (and sell out fast). And wear sturdy shoes—the farm paths can get muddy after tropical showers!
