St. George’s, Grenada
YLA Recommendation: Adventure River Tubing
This stop happens to be the capital of Grenada and offers guests energetic activities such as hiking and tubing. This destination is becoming more popular due to the moderate tropical climate that ensures the success of spice production. Nutmegs are the most plentiful crop, followed by an array of such spices as cocoa, mace, cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger. SeaDream guests can also enjoy playing from the water sports marina as we are scheduled to anchor in this port of call.
Head to the Balthazar River during the Adventure River Tubing YLA. Fed from sources located deep in the island's interior, this river is nestled between exotic tropical rainforest, flora, and fauna. Our river tubing guests will experience the thrill of a lifetime. Wet, wild, and wonderful from the get-go, your guides will accompany you on the journey, gently spinning and swirling in the currents of the river, as you take in the exotic scenery of tropical vegetation and wildlife, at the same time. Together with your fellow SeaDream guests, you will have a thrilling ride down the river, stopping only in the pools along the way to catch your breath. Then finally at the last pool, an opportunity for a swim before you enjoy a much-deserved rum punch or glass of local fruit juice before returning to your SeaDream Yacht.
