Grenada, Catamaran-Ride, West Coast, Underwater Sculpture Park, Snorkelling

Depart the pier aboard a spacious, 65-foot (about 19.8-metre) catamaran for the picturesque, approximately 30-minute ride north along the beautiful west coast of Grenada en route to the Underwater Sculpture Park. Located in the island's Marine Protected Area, the Underwater Sculpture Park is also known as 'Statues Park' due to the many underwater statues that are strategically located to protect and enhance the reef. The statues make natural use of the reef's varied topography of craggy gullies, and sun-dappled sandy patches.
