Here’s everything you need to know for your Spring and Summer 2025 trip to Canouan—from how to get there, to where to sip rum with your toes in the sand.

✈️ How to Get to Canouan in 2025

Getting to Canouan has never been easier thanks to new connections in 2025:

• Direct flights into St. Vincent (SVD) from Miami, Atlanta, and JFK make the journey smoother. From there, it’s a quick 20-minute flight on SVG Air or a scenic 1-hour boat ride.

• Private jet service directly into Canouan Airport (CIW) is available via the ultra-luxe JetPort terminal, which now offers customs and immigration on-site.

Whether you’re flying commercial or chartering a jet, arriving in Canouan feels like stepping into a secret meant just for you.

🌞 Why Visit in Spring & Summer?

Spring and Summer are prime times to visit Canouan—and here’s why:

2. Ideal Weather

From April through August, expect sunny skies, cooling trade winds, and that perfect Caribbean heat—just enough to crave a dip in those unreal turquoise waters.

3. Seasonal Events

• May: Join locals for Canouan Regatta, a festive sailing event with beach barbecues, island races, and traditional music.

• July-August: Mangoes are in season—sweet, juicy, and in every cocktail and dessert. Don’t miss a sunset mango mojito at Shenanigans Beach Club.
