Water Sports and Activities

‍
KAYAKING AND PADDLEBOARDING

Begin by introducing kayaking and paddleboarding as popular activities in Grenada, allowing visitors to explore the calm waters of bays and mangroves with minimal environmental impact. Highlight specific locations such as the sheltered waters of Grand Anse Beach or the more adventurous mangrove tours in Woburn Bay, where paddlers can quietly observe marine life and coastal birds. Discuss the availability of eco-friendly equipment rentals that adhere to sustainability standards.

SAILING AND BOAT TOURS

Describe sailing opportunities that range from leisurely day sails around the Grenadines to more intensive sailing lessons and regattas. Include information about eco-conscious charter companies that use sustainable practices, such as maintaining clean engines and using biodegradable products on board. Highlight scenic boat tours that offer guided excursions to remote beaches and snorkeling spots, providing education about marine conservation along the way.

ECO-FRIENDLY WATER SPORTS PRACTICES

Emphasise the importance of eco-friendly practices in all water sports activities. Discuss guidelines for responsible behaviour, such as avoiding coral reefs while snorkeling or diving, adhering to no-take zones, and using reef-safe sunscreen. Mention certification programs or eco-labels that visitors should look for when choosing tour operators, to ensure that their activities do not harm the environment. Highlight the role of local conservation groups in educating tourists and residents alike about the importance of protecting Grenada’s aquatic ecosystems.

ENGAGEMENT TIP FOR TRAVEL AGENTS

Encourage clients to participate in water sports activities that align with their interests and physical abilities, while also respecting the environment. Promote packages that combine different water-based activities with eco-friendly accommodations or dining experiences, enhancing the appeal of Grenada as a sustainable tourism destination.
