    It was easy to find the tour at the cruise terminal. I was unhappy because we had to drive to the beach to pick up other passengers and that took awhile. The snorkeling was nice but we only saw one turtle. I understand that the tour excursion cannot guarantee what wildlife was there. The guys on the boat were helpful but paid more attention to families with kids. I did not think they were very friendly to my husband and me. The shipwrecks made the trip worth it. I was not happy that when we left we had to take all those people back to the beach first. It would have been nice to drop the passengers for the cruise ship first. Maybe some description of Barbados as we traveled through the city would have been nice. All in all, I might try it again though I think I could do the same snorkeling off the beach there too.

    We enjoyed the beautiful water and soft sand. Everyone was nice and friendly. The boat/snorkel crew helped to make sure everyone got to see the turtles that were in the area we were snorkeling in.

    We had an excellent family excursion and saw 5 turtles and countless fish over the shipwreck. This was the first time in the ocean like this for our 3 year old. She wore goggles and the snorkel vest. The guide (Ron) put her in a life ring and basically gave her a personalized tour! He would swim her over the best spots and then tell her to hold her breath and put her face in. She saw all the best things! She even got close up to one of the turtles. It was a great experience for her and all 6 of us. The guide would also dive down and blow bubble rings to entertain her. The boat was clean and well maintained and the bathroom was convenient. The slide was also really fun for our 7 year old. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was the whole experience felt very rushed. The snorkel locations are directly off shore, so there wasn’t time in transit to get prepped to get in the water. It is best to arrive completely ready to jump in the water. Once the boat stopped it was a rush to get in the water or miss your time there. I’d rather pay a bit more for even 15 more minutes to not feel rushed at the two locations. Overall, I’d recommend this experience for a variety of ages.

    My wife and I didn't have much time on our last day before flying out, so we booked this snorkeling excursion given the relatively short duration (compared with 1/2 and full day trips). It was perfect. We saw several turtles at our first stop and a wide variety of fish at the shipwreck. Just as advertised. If you're going to want longer time in the water, you may want to consider other options. But if you're looking for a taste of snorkeling in Barbados and either don't have much time or have people in your group that aren't big snorkelers or likely won't spend a lot of time in the water, this one may be for you. The crew were friendly, funny, and very accommodating. A terrific excursion!
