Multiple stops for turtles to ensure we saw some close up! Also stopped over a barge ship wreck and stopped for stingrays! We lost Che for a minute and he was INSIDE the wreck trying to find us even more marine life to see! His driver was also really amazing and informative. Hotel pick up was punctual and driver was also a great tour guide. Che made sure we were dropped off even closer to our air bnb on the way home. You won’t be disappointed and the smaller group is very much worth the money. Also sent us personal Photos within hours which is an included bonus. 5 star all the way.
Wow! What can I say! This was a once in a lifetime trip! Yes it’s an early start but you get there before any of the bigger boats. We were picked up at 7am on the dot as promised from our hotel. There were only 9 of us and Che knew the perfect spots to find the turtles. We were offered coconut bread and juice/water/rum punch, they could not do enough for us. Che also takes pictures which he shares with you free of charge on WhatsApp.We saw turtles, stingray and an abundance of fish! You will not regret booking this!
Cannot recommend this enough. Book today, you will not regret it, do not be tempted by anyone else!!
We saw sea turtles, stingrays, and coral fish across three stops. The third stop felt like swimming inside an aquarium. Watching Che interact with the turtles and stingrays was a highlight especially you can feel they were completely at ease with him, and he captured some genuinely stunning turtle photos from the perfect angle. The hotel pickup was punctual and smooth. Weather aside, this was one a wonderful snorkeling experience.
Thanks for the 5 stars! Not much we can do to control the weather, if it’s really rainy we postpone but most of the time we are wet from being in the water snorkeling anyway :)
This was a great excursion for my family of six. We don’t normally like to get up and get out on vacation but it was worth it. We got picked up at 7:30 AM from our Villa and were on the water by 8 AM to beat the crowds. Beautiful morning on the water, plenty of sea life, and Che and his team were knowledgeable and actually very kind. We have been on a lot of trips and sometimes the guides just go through the motions because they do it every day. But you could tell that this crew really enjoyed what they did and loved their animals and their island. I would recommend this to anyone.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the early small group tour before the crowds:) the turtle photos came out great
This is a wonderful 3 hour boat trip - it was perfect, early in the day with a small group so felt personal - snorkelling was incredible the turtles so close it was awe inspiring and fabulous pink, purple, rainbow fish over the shipwreck - just amazing. Probably the best thing we have done in Barbados- highly recommend - can’t thank you and your team enough for a wonderful experience.
Thanks! Glad to hear it was the best thing you did on the island :)
This is not a big party boat which is what drew me to it. There were 7 people on my tour and Che. He took photos of the turtles and people so I didn’t have to bring my go pro wannabe. He arranges pick up and return. We left early enough we weren’t competing with other tours for turtle attention. He was also very receptive afterwards to comments and questions. I was determined to get a turtle tattoo in Barbados but had to see one first, Che made it happen!!!
Thanks! Glad we could find you some turtles :) we are the best at tracking them
Tour was a delight. Visited 3 locations - saw and interacted with turtles first, then went to where the stingrays were. Then visited the small ship wreck and nearby coral reef. Saw many colourful fish, eels, and a puffer fish. The 3 hour trip allowed the opportunity to see a lot of sea life. The guide was very good and communicated well before and during the tour. The guide provided some amazing underwater photos of participants with the turtles.
Glad you enjoyed the wildlife, guides and photos. This time of year is always great when there are friendly stingrays around:)

Thanks for the great review ! See you next time :)
I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Pickup was easy and communication was excellent. It was the perfect length of time to be out on the water for myself and my two children. Our guide was super knowledgeable and very helpful, the size of the group was nice and small and the vibe was relaxed and fun. Definitely worth the money!!
Thanks! We love what we do and it was our pleasure to share it with you:) safe travels home
