Calling all divers! Prepare to be swept away by the latest aquatic wonder to grace Caribbean waters. Just off the shores of Carriacou, sister island to Grenada, a mesmerising experience awaits at the brand-new underwater sculpture park, ‘World Adrift’ which opens this October.
Created by the visionary artist Jason deCaires Taylor, this new installation features an awe-inspiring fleet of 30 small boats, each adorned with lifelike sculptures of local children from Carriacou and Petite Martinique. But these aren’t ordinary sculptures; they are crafted from marine stainless steel and a more eco-friendly, pH-neutral green cement. Resembling paper origami boats, they symbolise the delicate balance of our ocean ecosystems.
At a depth of between three and five metres, these striking sculptures aim to transform a barren stretch of sand into a thriving artificial reef, inviting an array of marine life to find shelter here and flourish. Whether you're a seasoned diver or prefer the gentle float of snorkelling, this underwater wonderland is yours to explore.
Building on the success of the Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park, often hailed as one of National Geographic’s 25 Wonders of the World, this new addition continues the mission of blending art and marine conservation. By visiting during your stay in Grenada, you will play an important part in supporting these vibrant reefs and fostering biodiversity in the Caribbean.
Away from this new attraction, there’s plenty of other amazing things to see and do in Carriacou. Bask in the sun on the unspoiled sands of Paradise Beach, where tranquil waters provide the perfect backdrop for relaxation or kayaking adventures. Learn about island traditions at the Carriacou Museum, showcasing artifacts and exhibits that chronicle the rich cultural tapestry of this enchanting land. If you love getting out in nature, hike the trails of High North Peak to see breathtaking views of the surrounding islands. If you’re visiting in early August, don’t miss the opportunity to experience the authenticity of the Carriacou Regatta Festival—an annual highlight celebrating the region’s maritime heritage through vibrant boat races and community festivities.

Few destinations offer as much to discover as South Africa, and recently, a group of Travel Counsellors experienced just how varied a journey here can be. From the dramatic landscapes of the Panorama Route to unforgettable safari moments in Kruger National Park, time spent with local tourism partners, and a deeply moving visit to Soweto, the trip offered the kind of first-hand insight that helps shape more personal, meaningful holidays for customers. It was a reminder that South Africa isn’t only about big-name sights; it’s about the people, places, flavours, and small moments that stay with you long after you’ve returned home.
If you've ever dreamed of escaping to a tropical island where nature takes centre stage, Niva Labriz Seychelles is exactly that kind of place. Set on the untouched shores of Silhouette Island, a protected national park just off Mahé, it's the only 5-star resort on the island. Reached by a scenic 45-minute boat journey or a short helicopter flight, Niva Labriz feels wonderfully secluded, surrounded by lush rainforest, towering granite peaks, and a spectacular stretch of white sand overlooking the Indian Ocean.
