There was a lot of damage to tourist infrastructure on Mayreau and Union caused by Hurricane Beryl which struck the islands in July 2024. Smaller islands are also still affected such as the atolls of Palm Island and Petit St Vincent in Tobago Cays. This has affected hotel availability and other facilities including services at the airport. If you plan to visit Mayreau, Union or the smaller islands, confirm arrangements with your travel agent or accommodation provider.
The last explosive eruption of La Soufrière volcano on St Vincent was in 2021.
You should also monitor the alert level of the underwater volcano Kick ‘em Jenny, located 5 miles off the coast of nearby Grenada. Keep out of maritime exclusion zones and follow the advice of local authorities if there is increased volcanic activity or an eruption.

Visa and entry rules depend on your nationality and change often, so Trip Rulebook does not summarise them. Each government explains the rules for its own citizens. If you travel on another passport, check with the embassy or the official immigration website of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
