Turtle watching tours

Turtle watching tours at Levera from the middle of April - June, providing a rare and exciting opportunity to observe the critically endangered leatherback turtle. The tours were first made available in 2001 as part of Ocean Spirits' ongoing research and monitoring programme and enables visitors and residents alike to observe at first hand the nesting process of this ancient creature. The trips now play an essential role in Grenada's effort to conserve the second largest population of nesting leatherbacks in the Caribbean with tours continuing to illustrate turtle watching as a viable, national eco-product to substitute the pressure of turtle egg and meat consumption. This is a proven conservation management strategy that has been successfully implemented at other critical regional and global nesting sites like Levera.
