5.Barbados Shore Excursion Snorkel cruise and Beach Day

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 441 reviews · from $58

Review of Barbados’ Carlisle Bay snorkel cruise and beach day, with turtles, a shipwreck, beach chairs, transfers, value, and practical tips.

“The beach part of the tour was great but the snorkeling was not and I booked for the snorkeling. It was so crowded with people snorkeling you couldn't even swim. There were easily 100-200 people (from various boats) in a small area and you were constantly running into them or them into you. The site with the sunken ship had nothing to see. The second site was literally 15 feet from the coast and we could've swam there from shore. There was a sea turtle but they were feeding it from the boat so it would come over which I don't think is appropriate and there were so many people…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 192 reviews · from $110

Review of Barbados’ small-group catamaran cruise with turtles, shipwreck snorkeling, Bajan lunch, hotel pickup, and an open bar.

“This trip was at first very surprising. The boat we were put on was a small fishing boat that only fishermen should have used and not really for high end tour guest. CJ and Akeel did a splended job of handling the boat and making it a great experience. Shame on the owner for how he put our group of Black Professionals and Retirees on that boat while his White guest were on the bigger actual catamaran boat. The worst thing about the fishing boat was there was a aweful toilet experience where there was not even a toilet but instead a small galley hole that one stepped into, having…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 185 reviews · from $39

Review of Harbour Lights’ Carlisle Bay turtle snorkel tour, including shipwrecks, beach chairs, pricing, timing, and practical tips.

“Koopa Troopa boat and 2 staff Elijah and captain whose name begins with T(!) were excellent on the snorkeling boat excursion. Saw the most fish of many of my recent snorkeling excursions, and even saw a few turtles swim with us. The 2 men were helpful in getting our gear to fit, and Elijah even took 2 of us around holding on to a life ring to show us the best areas to see. The beach was very clean, our beach lounge chairs were well made. The food was tasty and below average in price compared to most barbados restaurants. Definitely a value at $35 usd per person!”
