Omar was a great tour guide and was very informative. The stops were beautiful and the lunch was good as well. This tour is a must, if you are able!

Omar our tour guide was amazing. So knowledgeable about the island and friendly. It was a win win for us, got to see the monkeys and swim with turtles. The guys on the ship were professional and friendly as well. The lunch was amazing. And huge bonus for us they picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. We had a blast and would ro it again next time we are in Barbados.

We had a great day touring round the Island with our driver Stephen. Picked us up promptly and shared his knowledge of the island as we drove past landmarks. A very knowledgeable man with a good sense of humour. The wildlife sanctuary was truly beautiful, a great opportunity to see a number of different species and the monkey feeding is incredible, you're so close to them. Then we headed to Bathsheba for some lunch, beautiful scenery and striking views. We enjoyed our simple lunch of grilled chicken (fish also available), rice, salad and macaroni pie. After this we headed to Carlisle Bay, a breath taking talcum powder beach with clear turquoise waters. Lots to do here, bars, food trucks, jet ski rentals etc. Our driver let us know that there was a shuttle service (provided by the tour) if you wanted to stay and enjoy the beach etc after we got off the boat which was a lovely touch. All the staff on the boat were super friendly and helpful. Big shout out to "Mr T" who took my husbands camera and dived down through the ship wreck to capture some unforgettable footage for us. He then also went and retrieved my husbands camera when he accidentally dropped it (rolls eyes). We did manage to see a sea turtle, a beautiful moment that left everyone on our boat in awe. Complimentary drink on board once you've finished snorkeling, then you're given the opportunity to jump off the top of the boat or use the water slide. Everyone on board was super humorous and nothing was too much trouble. We felt safe and in good hands, husband isn't the strongest swimmer and had never snorkeled before. All in all, an unforgettable day, memories we'll treasure for a lifetime. And for a very reasonable price.

This was my sister's first trip outside of Canada ever and first time on a plane. She's a vet tech and the ability to see the Wildlife Reserve and the turtles really resonated with her. Gline was an amazing guide and I look forward to returning to Barbados for the 5th time next year!

This tour was the highlight of our trip. Monkeys were great and snorkeling was amazing. We got to see many different parts of the island along the way. Main guide (Ghlein) added an incredible wealth of information to the driving which kept the whole trip entertaining. Strongly recommend this experience!

...and unfortunately those things completely overshadowed the good. The driving was honestly terrifying, which made it hard to relax. We didn’t follow the advertised itinerary at all. We missed about 90 minutes of promised beach time and skipped the viewpoint stop entirely. The snorkeling was supposed to have two stops, but we only did one. And worst of all, the guide made openly homophobic remarks toward someone in my party, mocking him by repeatedly calling him “Samantha” because he had painted nails. That kind of behavior is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. On paper this tour looked great, but in reality it failed to deliver on what was promised and left us with a very negative impression.

This experience was awesome and beyond expectations. There were many aminals to see than just monkeys. Swimming with the turtles was amazing. They are much bigger than we were expecting. Our tour guide, Ryan, was fantastic.

Everyone was absolutely wonderful during this trip. While you aren’t actually feeding the monkeys as advertised, it was still so cool and incredible to be so close up next to the monkeys. With regards to the snorkeling, it’s not guaranteed to see the sea turtles but the guides try their best to make sure you see them. Was fortunate to see one within 5 mins of getting into the water and was able to see a couple of more during our time out there! Would highly recommend.
