How is the snorkeling at Spice Island?

Grenada is an amazing destination, and has some OK snorkeling, but snorkeling is not its strong suit. Whenever you have a lush island with rivers and substantial rainfall, the run-off into the sea tends to cause cloudiness in the water -- hence visibility is not as great as it would be on some of the more desert-y islands. As well, some of the coral was damaged by the heavy seas caused by Hurricane Lenny a few years ago. That said, Grenada is a good jumping-off spot for a day-trip or two to great snorkeling, such as the Tobago Cays in the Grenadines, or Sandy Island off of Carriacou.

We stayed at Spice Island in Grenada and spent a few days snorkeling. A guide "Captain Peter" who hangs on the SII beach took us on his boat to a nearby inlet to snorkel and we thought it was very good. His wife cooked a native lunch for us under a palm tree and the price included all drinks too. I forget what we paid - but it was reasonable.

HKR,<BR>There are many Caribbean islands with notably good snorkeling - but Grenada is not one of those usually cited.<BR>Try St. John, Cozumel, Virgin Gorda, Caymans, St. Lucia, Out Islands of the Bahamas (though not in the Caribbean), Turks and Caicos.
