I was looking for an exciting excursion for my son’s 9th birthday. My son had a great time from start to finish. The crew was amazing and made us feel safe when we were on board and in the water. I cannot swim so the life jacket and life preserver definitely gave me a piece of mind. The ocean was beautiful, it’s an amazing sight to see. The turtles and fish are just swimming all around you and I was able to take a lot of memorable photos. I highly recommend!!

I booked this experience last week for 15 family and friends, and it did not disappoint!! The guides explained we would be making two stops. The first stop was to see the shipwrecks, and the second to see turtles. However, within a minute of hopping in the water at the wreck location a turtle made a grand appearance. More appeared leading to turtle sightings the entire duration of our snorkeling time. A wonderful time was had by all, many said this was the highlight of their visit to Barbados. Thank you for a wonderful experience, I highly recommend this tour.

Friendly staff who were patient and accommodating with everyone based on their comfort in the water and their swimming abilities. They were very attentive, checking in on everyone while in the water. The shipwrecks were very cool to see and we saw plenty of marine life, including turtles who swam very close to us!

We had a fantastic experience - travelling with a toddler is sometimes challenging and taking her on a boat is always risky. The crew made it all possible, from helping us ensure safety in water for her to showing her around the boat and letting her ‘feed’ the fish when she got a bit bored. All that on top of taking the whole tour into locations with multiple wild turtles of various ages and sizes, explaining the wildlife situation in Barbados really well and identifying and naming variety of fish for the guests. I was very impressed. And lastly, the boat was clean- like really really clean. Would go with them again.

It was a fun and great experience! Even though I don’t know how to swim, the staff were really accommodating by making sure you didn’t miss out on the fun. I forgot his name, but I think a guy with a Scottish accent helped me get more picture of the pufferfish. I really appreciate that he went out his way to find the pufferfish for me!

Really good experience, staff were friendly and knowledgeable. So pleased I got to see a turtle, even if I didn't it was still worth the trip because of the shipwrecks and fish
