“A must! - We had such an amazing experience! The crew was friendly and fun. We also landed some great people for our group. We were able to play our tunes on the Bluetooth which made it that much more fun of an experience. Food was delicious, both guides were vigilant of everyone in the group in the water at all times. Floating devices were provided for the snorkel which made swimming nice and easy. I would 100% recommend this snorkel cruise to anyone visiting Grenada. What a gorgeous experience, still in awe over it.” - Reviewed at 2024-10-08

“It’s a MUST do, if you want to see Grenada - Excellent Tour! A highlight of our stay in Grenada. Ashton was a lovely tour guide! We started our day learning about the spices on the island and how they are harvested, processed and utilized and then made our way to the national park where we got to hold a monkey (my whole family is still talking about this) and the park itself is absolutely gorgeous. Then concluded the day at the Anadale waterfall where we swam at the base of the falls. Incredible day and Ashton is so knowledgeable and does a great job sharing the beauty and history of the island.” - Reviewed at 2024-11-17
