Experience Details*
Hop aboard Grenada’s fastest tour boat and explore the fascinating wonders of the island’s Underwater Sculpture Park.
Climb aboard a twin-engine powerboat right in the port and speed away into the sunshine for a fun ocean-bound adventure. Heading north, you’ll zip along Grenada’s sheltered western coast, and learn about the Spice Isle, including its ecology, wildlife and local history.
When you reach Molinere Bay you’ll stop for a guided snorkel of the world-famous Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park. Listed as one of the ‘Top 25 Wonders of the World’ by National Geographic, the park comprises 75 sculptures that cover an area of 800 square metres, at depths of 5-8 metres.
If you prefer to stay dry, you can remain on the boat with your captain. After the snorkelling, you can enjoy a fresh, local juice before zooming off for more fun and adventure.
Your voyage also includes a visit to the historic town of St Georges, where you’ll cruise the protected inner harbour of one of the Caribbean’s prettiest towns. Then enjoy one last blast back to the dock.

Essential information
This tour is not suitable for those with back or neck injuries or conditions, which may be affected by the bumpy ride. Pregnant women and children under 8 may not participate. It is recommended that guests bring their own snorkels although snorkel equipment is included. Participants must be competent swimmers.
For safety reasons, full-face snorkelling masks are not permitted on our shore experiences. Guests should be encouraged to use the snorkel equipment provided by the tour operator, as this ensures consistency in safety and quality.
Additionally, flotation aids should be recommended for guests who are not confident swimmers. While guests may bring their own traditional two-piece mask and snorkel, they do so at their own risk. Please note that participation in the snorkelling activity may not be possible if these guidelines are not followed.
ACTIVITY EXCURSIONS, You and all those in your party should be aware that, in undertaking activity excursions, you will be involved in a degree of physical exertion and/or activity such as hiking, biking, snorkelling, kayaking, diving etc. By booking the excursion you confirm that you and all those in your party are in good physical and mental condition, with no history of conditions such as seizures, dizziness, fainting, heart condition, respiratory problems or back/neck problems (by way of example only). You should also ensure that no one in your party is taking medicine that carries a warning about impairment of physical or mental abilities. If you are pregnant this type of excursion may not be appropriate for you. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are fit and well enough to take part in the activities booked and you are reminded to take care for your own safety. Because of the risks associated with activity excursions, you may be asked by the excursion provider to sign a document which may affect or limit the excursion provider’s liability. Comfortable flat walking shoes are recommended.
BEACH/WATER RELATED EXCURSIONS, For any excursion involving water, passengers are reminded to exercise particular care. Alcohol and eating a full meal should be avoided before swimming. If buoyancy aids are provided for an activity they must be worn at all times. You should bear in mind that the sea is unpredictable. Lifeguards are unlikely to be present and there may not be a flag system to indicate whether or not it is safe to go in the water. In addition, beach activities may not be supervised or accompanied and so you should take care to satisfy yourself as to the safety of the beach and/or the sea at the time of your excursion. Please exercise caution when entering the sea as the seabed and aquatic environment is capable of springing surprises and we have not inspected the beach or seabed for its safety. Children must be supervised by you at all times near water. All activities on the beach, water and in the sea are undertaken at your own risk. You’ll need to take swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and flat shoes that can be worn in the water.
SCUBA DIVING, All passengers wishing to participate in a certified dive tour must hold a PADI open water scuba certification or BSAC Ocean Diver certification. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate divers with either a PADI Junior Open Water or a PADI Scuba Dive rating due to the depth limitations imposed by these qualifications. In line with the recommendations by the sports-diving industry, we strongly recommend that divers undertake a refresher course if they have not been diving within the last six months. You must be aged 15 or over, carry your dive certification card with you and we recommend that you carry your diving log or proof that you’ve recently completed a refresher course. If you are a certified diver, but are unable to meet our requirements we recommend taking the Discover Scuba excursion as an alternative. For Discover Scuba courses you don’t need any scuba experience but you must be 15 or over and be able to swim. You’ll also need to complete a medical/liability consent form before you go - but if you suffer from asthma, diabetes, heart problems or other medical conditions you won’t be able to take part.
