this was really great to see this wonderful natural habitat for the birds and the amazing views there hope the birds would be saved we need them for the environment and thanks for all your trouble to bring this to us it was really a long hike to get there
Hi Kriss greetings. That truly amazing. Beautiful walk in Lance Aux Epines all the way through MOUNT HARTMAN national park and Hog Island. My homeland . We are truly Blessed.I love my Sweet and pure Grenada. Thank you for taking the time to share and explore the Island. That so Fanastic. Be blessed.
Beautiful!!!! Yes!! Awesome that you are capturing the current state of Hartman Island- Hog Island....wow!! Stunning 😎 Aw!! The fact that Gabriel carried the melon 🍉 that far is so nice!!!! Nice friend 🍉🍉
Never new of this so beautiful so much hidden treasure of my homeland we are bless thanks for taking the time to carry the world on your journey blessings thank you
Great hike...I have never visited Hog Island or Mount Hartman National Park...hope the redevelopment does not affect the endangered wildlife 🙏🏾Grenada dove, would love to see some. Definitely will sail my boat 😊over on my next visit. Thanks for showing us around.
So thankful to you for showing me my farther and grandmother’s country of their birth,been there twice but didn’t see too much,went to Tivoli my ex-husband’s hometown,have to visit again.
Thank you Kriss, we live your content. Thank you for showing another new place. We want to move to the island and a lot of your visits help. Please keep the content Coming
Thanks for the compliment. The walk is definitely worth it. My friend Gabriel tells me it was even more beautiful before they hacked away at the tress to make way for the new resort. I was happy to do it before the resort is finished.
Another amazing vlog. I really love the sound of nature so hearing the birds chirping and the water calmly breaking on the beach were just so relaxing. I don't know how you didn't just sit there until the sun set :)
I could have stayed all night, it was lovely and peaceful but we had to walk back before it got dark as there are no lights. And hearing the birds chirping was wonderful.
The natural landscape is amazing and that watermelon was as delicious as it looks. I should have mentioned that Gabriel grew that melon in his garden 😊
Thanks for the tour I really enjoy.I hope that resort will bring some revenue to Grenada and also employment for Grenadians plus I hope they would have access to it also
Would be great for you to do a video on Sandy Island off Sauters beach. Really hope you can find out more about its history and do a full tour of the island. Watching from the middle east. Keep up the great vlogs.
Hi once again Once again thnx for the knowledge and experience as usual I do appreciate it And, and also for the valuable educational info. Keep up the gd work my friends. Nice to see you had someone accompanied you. Looks like there are big things planned for greens.. Be safe Bless Chris
@@krissmgvlogs Hi kriss lol. Yep, sure am here waiting, have fun be safe And plz don't forget Baker street. Plz check it out on UA-cam music 🎵🎶 (Gerry Rafferty) long version lol..lol. omg anyway..
Hi kriss such a beautiful secenery Grenada 🇬🇩 is so beautiful I just love your vlogs I hope I will be able to visit but with COVID I have to wait and see
I never known GND.had such lovely environment it takes the native sibling to discover this place we thank GOD for you. IN the back ground i could see plenty of BOATS??
Thanks for creating this, thoroughly enjoyed it. Those berries!!!!🤣 I grew up in Grenada and I’ve never eaten those berries, only birds eat them I’m sure😀
Great walk. I am excited to see the Hotel open in the next 10 years. I am glad that there is Hotel Project being built because it can create development and employment. Unfortunately Grenadians are not willing to invest into our country so there may be a reason for foreigners to do it.
Very interesting never knew about this park.I would love to visit this parkon one of my visits to Grenada.Next time bring your bathing suit so you can take a swim😄🇬🇩🌵🐚🍉🥭🏊🏾♀️⛱😎
Thanks so much for sharing this! I have been going to Grenada for many years now (it's one of my favorite places on the planet) and have always wanted to take this hike to Hog Island instead of the boat! One quick question, how long would you estimate the trip takes from Secret Harbour to Rogers Bar? Thank you!!
Hi Kriss, l have been following your vlogs for a little while now, and I must say this one has been the best of all for me and the MOST DISTURBINGLY HEARTBREAKING at the same time. I am from St. Patrick's, I left Grenada quite a number of years and never had the opportunity to visit Hog Island and maybe will never get that chance too. How and why in Gods' name can the government of Grenada sell this beautiful piece of Grenada to a foreign investor? Our beautiful Spice Island, does it really need another resort, ("I think NOT!!") especially in such a place that should be protected for foot traffic only? You mentioned in the vlog that the (citizen by investment) is currently working with an environmentalist; this should have been the first thing Keith Mitchell and his government should have done before selling this place to another foreigner who cares nothing for the preservation of Grenada's treasures or delicate habitats. Based on the size of the proposed development, most of the beauty and picturesque serenity of the island will be gone/destroyed for all time. What do they think will happen to the dove and other habitats of the Island? I am SICK TO MY STOMACH thinking of what the future pictures of our Beautiful Spice Island will look like. Thank you Kriss, your vlogs are allowing Grenadian citizens living abroad to get a better scope of some of the happenings on the island. Let this be a wake-up call to all of us True Spice Islanders everywhere. Thanks again.
Glad you are enjoying my vlogs. Development is good but I do wonder if the grand size is absolutely necessary. The main thing, is that its conservation friendly and will help preserve and protect the wildlife surrounding it in particular the Grenada Dove.
@@krissmgvlogs I am all for a country developing to present itself properly governed, well-rounded, sustainable and self-sufficient; but this development is not going to achieve this goal. The mangroves, swamps, and endangered inhabitants will suffer and die for good. Whether it's small, medium, or large forested areas; the oxygen levels are needed for good healthy citizens. Get rid of it and we might as well ask for a new hospital for real.
Hope the govt go ahead on and finish developing the place and not allow foreign companies to come in and destroy the island because they always do. They don't care about nature or locals just money. Thank you for sharing this
Hello, I was wondering if it's safe to walk alone on the Mt. Hartman trail. I read somewhere that it's not recommeded and I noticed you took a friend along. Thanks!
Yes, I brought my friend because I also heard it is unsafe to walk alone (especially as a female) as some of the areas are enclosed in trees. Thanks for watching.😃
I don't mind the resorts, just as long as they are sensitive to the habitat and eco-systems. I forget how long the hike took, possibly around 90 minutes each way. Seasons Greetings🎅 🎄🌺
My dear see u home I miss it so much I can do with so water melon right know enjoy I am back to work with the children so my dear I am so busy enjoy grenada🇬🇩❤❤❤❤
I just watch your vlogs. I enjoy it but was also unhappy a national park should be a national park. And not use for development. I live in Florida and national park are use for school trip .and what the land was put aside for birds turtles and all other wildlife not development .who ever made it a national park was doing the right thing .but what can I say money talk and bull s... walk .but i learn a lot for you today
I agree. It is such a rich and beautiful area, the main focus should be protecting the wildlife, walking trails, bird-watching and education. I hope the new resort will play a role in helping to make this happen.
It took around 90 minutes but that was because I was filming and stopping to look at the building work in Mt Hartman. If we had walked straight maybe an hour! Thanks for watching 😊
Hi Kriss. Oh My Goodness! I came across your channel last night and I watched your video. You’ve inspired me to want to walk some more when I come to Grenada. I will definitely watch more of your vlogs. I am not really a vlog person. You’ve got my attention💯. I am a cook. I don’t know how much you like cooking. Or, what foods you like. Visit me, if there is anything you would like for me to cook. I will try. I’m definitely a Subscriber. I have to watch them all👍🏽. Thank you so much💕
The Grenada Dove is not Restricted to only Grenada , you can also find it in St Vincent and Dominica , and also some of the Grenadine islands , and this coming from a Grenadian
I read the Grenada Dove is endemic to Grenada, hence the name Grenada Dove. Please share the link to the info confirming the Grenada Dove can be found elsewhere!
I really do hate that people keep building up nonsense in our country. There is just no need. One of the things that makes Grenada magical is how unspoiled it is. Some things just need to be sacred. Thank you for sharing what this space looks like before it all changes!
New developments should be working with the environment, showcasing the beauty and uniqueness of Grenada. I will follow its development as much as I can.
It's great that you captured this area before the development.
I know. Will be interesting to see how much it changes.
this was really great to see this wonderful natural habitat for the birds and the amazing views there hope the birds would be saved we need them for the environment and thanks for all your trouble to bring this to us it was really a long hike to get there
Yes, its a very unspoilt and beautiful part of Grenada. I too hope the birds and other wildlife are protected.
Grenadian beauty and beautiful Greneda. The perfect combination.
Thanks for watching 😍

Yes, its a stunning location. And I should have mentioned that Gabriel actually grew that melon in his garden 😄
Never new of this so beautiful so much hidden treasure of my homeland we are bless thanks for taking the time to carry the world on your journey blessings thank you
It should be developed as a walking trail too. Such a beautiful location. I hope the resort does not ruin this natural beauty!
That was very beautiful, when I think of the future of our wonderful scenery 😭.
Thanks for watching!
Great hike...I have never visited Hog Island or Mount Hartman National Park...hope the redevelopment does not affect the endangered wildlife 🙏🏾Grenada dove, would love to see some.
Definitely will sail my boat 😊over on my next visit. Thanks for showing us around.
This hike is well worth it. Only a couple hills that are not too challenging. So beautiful and peaceful.
So thankful to you for showing me my farther and grandmother’s country of their birth,been there twice but didn’t see too much,went to Tivoli my ex-husband’s hometown,have to visit again.
Yes its a beautiful island.You're welcome.
Wonderful vlog, KrissMG. Important conservation message. Love your David Attenborough voice when you’re trying to spot the Grenada dove!
David Attenborough - I'm flattered! Thanks for watching! 😄
Perfect in-depth tour! I actually learnt quite alot from this video.
I'm glad you enjoyed and learned something too. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Kriss, we live your content. Thank you for showing another new place. We want to move to the island and a lot of your visits help. Please keep the content Coming
Thanks for the very kind words. Glad you are enjoying my vlogs!
Beautiful watermelon!

Blessed. I really enjoyed watching the dog run around and the sea shells and the Beach bar that’s my favorite part of the video thanks for uploading!
Thanks for watching. Appreciated.
That was really nice indeed
Thank you. I totally want to do this hike!
You should! Its well worth it!
This is very exciting!! I love the color of the vegetation .
Us too! Such a gorgeous location!
Thanks for another great video. I visited Hog Island in 2017 but travelled there by boat now I’m thinking I need to try the road trip 👍🏾
Thanks for the compliment. The walk is definitely worth it. My friend Gabriel tells me it was even more beautiful before they hacked away at the tress to make way for the new resort. I was happy to do it before the resort is finished.

U didnt take a dip! Be careful with wild berries. Nice vlog. Is Gabriel your new body guard? Light colors next time.
I was too tired to dip. I was glad Gabriel was there, its a nice walk but not safe for a lone female. I wear black because it hides the sweat 🤣
that's y u should a take a dip. It would be refreshing. Besides u taking a dip for us who longing for d beach! Don't b selfish

Watch my latest vlog on Mt Hartman, it gets worse ua-cam.com/video/m8FPEUtphf4/v-deo.html 😢
Will Hartman keep the pristine feeling? It may be sad.what is on hog island?
Apart from what you see on the beach everywhere else is just bush!
Didn't know about the dove
I learned something new too!

Thanks for watching!
Please look after the Grenada Dove
There is less than 100 birds left in Grenada 🇬🇩
I know 🙁
