Exceptional - I went to Carlisle Bay and when I got there I was greeted by Caroline at the entrance, she is extremely knowledgeable, patient and welcoming she made sure that I was properly sorted with a beach chair. Whilst at the beach I chatted with Mario thw jetski operator who was also knowledgeable, we chatted as though we knew each other for years he made recommendations of things I could try whilst there, I did the snorkle cruise with captain Mick and his crew Mario and Giovani who helped me whilst in the water as I am a non swimmer. I was able to see turtles and the shipwreck which was beautiful!!!! I had a great time and would definitely recommend 👌

A fun but relaxing experience - This was by far one of the best experiences I had in Barbados! If you're lucky, Jenny will be your driver. She's from the UK but has lived in Barbados a long time. She's so pleasant and can tell you all about the island. I truly loved hearing about her family and her life stories. She dropped me off at Savvy Beach. I'm not one who likes to be on a rigid schedule so the option to relax on the beach as long as I wanted was well-received. The snorkeling trip was a great addition. It's a relatively shorter snorkeling trip but it's perfect if you don't want to be worn out the rest of the day. The guys managing the boat are quite entertaining. To top it all off, they were thoughtful and attentive. They gave me space when I wanted to manage on my own but gently stepped in when I had it all wrong. It became a running joke. Additionally, they worked with a couple that couldn't swim. We were all able to see young turtles swimming along the sea floor that they found for us. I highly recommend this excursion. If you run into Jenny, please tell her the solo lady traveler says hello.

Awesome Day Out!! - This experience was fantastic from beginning to end. They promptly picked me up from my hotel and were incredibly accommodating and helpful during snorkeling at both spots. I got to see everything I had hoped for. Afterwards, they allowed me as much time as I needed to relax on the beach before returning me to my hotel. Overall, it was an excellent service and a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it.

Swimming with the turtles - An unforgettable experience! We swam with sea turtles, manta rays, and an amazing array of fish just off the coast in Carlisle Bay. The turtles would swim right up next to you - it was incredible. Plus we snorkeled over a shipwreck, which was a first for me. We were able to use our own snorkel masks and GoPro, which was great since we took so many great photos and videos. Highly recommend!

Great trip - Enjoyed everything about the trip. We were collected from our hotel by Webster a very entertaining taxi driver who took us to the Copacanana beach resort and escorted us down to the beach. We had loungers and umbrella and a free drink. The beach was amazing. We spent about an hour there then on to the boat. It was fairly busy but not overcrowded. The crew were great. Shirt sail out to swim with turtles then back on board for another short ride to the wreck. Loads of fish and corals to see. Back on the boat we got another drink before returning to the beach. Boat was about an hour and a half. We then had another couple of hours on the beach. Bought lunch which was really nice - not cheap but not overpriced either. Then picked up again by Webster and back to our hotel. Highly recommend this trip.

Great Value at a local beach - Not far from the cruise port and based on a beach with good facilities.
Not much time for sun bathing after feeding the turtles and stingrays at two dive locations but no-one cared. Guys on the boat were great fun but took safety and protection of the seas seriously and were well informed. Highly recommended!

fun but disappointing - This was a fun excursion, however, the description included an alcoholic beverage but we were informed that the beverage was no longer included when we got to the beach.

Crew great, beach too crowded! - After waiting at the cruise terminal for and extra 20 minutes for a couple who was late we finally left for Copacabana Beach club at Carlisle Bay. It was a bit of a cattle call as we were led to an instructional area where we were informed about our day. The beach was already crowded and then we boarded the catamaran and went about 50 yards off of the shore to snorkel. NO fins are provided but they were not necessary if you are a decent swimmer. The crew was very friendly and helpful. We saw many turtles and the water was amazing! There were so many other boats so close to us though it was a bit nerve wracking for a lot of people. We did feel a bit rushed to board the boat again and then we moved to a shipwreck about 100 years away and had an opportunity to snorkel again. Not too mush to see here just a few fish and the shipwreck. The we were brought back to shore and left to find a chair with umbrella, anything decent was already taken. The bar service and prices at Copacabana Resort where we were given beach access was terrible. They were not friendly and very pricey. Overall it was just an OK experience.
