Overview


Marine turtles are endangered and facing extinction. In order to protect the turtles we work with the Marine Biologists and  the  communities who monitor their laying habits  and we contribute to the employment of the community by use their  trained guides.

Join our  nighttime  turtle tour from April to June  as we journey to Levera National Park in the very north of the island to sit in the moonlight watching Leatherback turtles bury their eggs in the sand. In Grenada, turtles start nesting in  late March and the last turtle hatchlings make their way into the sea in late June to early July.

Grenada is host to four of the world’s seven varieties of turtles – the largest being the 5ft -7ft Leatherback turtle with its bony shell. Endangered is the small Hawksbill turtle, which has a very beautiful shell. Help us support turtle conservation efforts which were started by Ocean Spirits, by taking this splendid Eco-Tour.   Look out for the documentary  Open Season!

Truly an evening to remember!
