Have you ever wondered what the underwater would look like but you can’t snorkel or SCUBA dive?  Well now you can, with Grenada’s newest underwater adventure. You will discover what the underwater looks like in a “sit on top” double clear bottom kayak.  The journey takes 15 minutes from the port to your starting point at Grand Mal Bay, next to the newly refurbish building formerly known as Sunset View Restaurant, on the West Coast.  There you will board your kayak and begin your fantastic journey over the Grand Mal coral reefs, down to Cherry Hill, turn around and move on to Mollinere Bay where you will view the popular divers’ reefs, and experience the wonders of the underwater world. After 1 ¼  hours you will return to the Kayak house where you will recover from the wonders of the underwater world, with a swim in the calm bay, and a complimentary drink at the bar (rum punch, local beer, local fruit juice, soft drink or water) before you will be returned to the pier.

This aromatic tour will allow you to learn about Grenada Nutmeg and organic chocolate production. You will head toward the island's west coast and visit the Gouyave Nutmeg Processing Station to discover how nutmegs are harvested, processed, and exported. Well protected behind high walls, you will travel one century back in time. No conveyor belts, no machines. The long processing chain of this precious spice starts off in the hands and nimble fingers of the experienced, diligent and incredible ‘’Mammas.’’  After, you will visit the Diamond Chocolate Plant which produces the “Jouvay” organic chocolate now ranked in the top 10 best chocolates in the world by National Geographic. The quality of the beans, the distinct taste and the country’s rich history of cocoa production have inspired L. A. Burdick Chocolate to partner with Grenada’s knowledgeable independent cocoa farmers in building a cocoa processing facility. After harvesting the beans, all fermentation, sorting, drying, roasting and conching is done on the premises of the factory. A visit to the cocoa tree garden and a rare and delicious chocolate tasting and sampling will conclude this enjoyable tour of one of the most amazing sites in the Caribbean.

Open-air gondolas, accompanied by a naturalist guide provide the one and only access to the upper layers of the rainforest. Ascending through the middle layer of the rainforest you will enjoy the fauna and flora.  The Aerial Tram Tour will transport you up and away from the heat and bustle of the lowlands to an ecological park located in the heights of St Lucia’s forest reserve.  Sixteen open-air gondolas ascend noiselessly through the rainforest, offering you a magical view of nature in its majesty – towering gommiers, impressive chatanniers, and the remarkable phenomenon of the strangler ficus, alighted upon by playful hummingbirds and banana quits.  An experienced Nature Interpreter will point out giant ferns and magnificent heliconia, and identify the calls and the plumage of the birdlife that makes the Caribbean Oceanic forest its home.  The descent will afford you a bird’s eye view of the forest and a spectacular panoramic vista of the north of the island.  With much to see and listen for, the tram ride will be a celebration of color and life and a restorative retreat guaranteed to refresh the senses.
