About 5 hours

Overview

This is the Barbados day on the water that almost everyone books. You board a shared catamaran and sail along the calm Caribbean side of the island, with the crew handing round drinks and pointing out the coastline as you go.

The trip makes three stops. First, the turtles: slip into the water with a mask and snorkel and swim alongside the sea turtles that graze along the west coast. Next, a shallow shipwreck, where shoals of tropical fish gather around the hull and the visibility is usually excellent. Finally, a quiet bay where you can swim, walk on the beach or stretch out on deck.

While the boat is at anchor, lunch is served on board, typically a buffet, with wine and other drinks included. Snorkel gear and a quick lesson from the crew are part of the day, so first-timers are fine. Transport from your hotel on the west or south coast is included.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a strong swimmer?

No. The crew provides life jackets and flotation aids, and you can stay on board if you prefer.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes, all ages are welcome and children usually pay a reduced rate. Bring sun protection, as shade on deck is limited.

Will I definitely see turtles?

Sightings are very likely but can't be guaranteed, as the turtles are wild. The crew goes where they are usually found.
