Excellent experience

Excellent tour! Pick up on time with a tour guide for a driver! He was great. Che and the crew were professional, friendly and ensured an excellent experience! We saw turtles and stingrays and snorkelled over a shipwreck. The tour is small in numbers which we preferred and also ensured turtle sightings as we weren’t a huge catamaran all jumping in the water at once! Great time for sure with some music and rum punch if you wanted! Che was also quick to send photos of us with the turtles which is an added bonus.

Fantastic!

Amazing trip! Everything about this trip was 5*. Prompt pick up at advised time. Driver was friendly and keen to chat about the island. We were offered drinks / snacks etc whilst on board and the tour was perfect! 9 of us on the tour, which made it friendly & relaxed. Che took us to places he was confident we’d be able to swim safely with turtles, then round a ship wreck (where we seen an array of different fish), before finishing at a spot with big fish & rays! Che took plenty of photo’s and sent them the same day! We would highly recommend this trip 🐢🐠🐡🐟

Shipwreck, sea turtles, stingrays & more — amazing trip!

Really memorable snorkeling excursion with Che catamaran. We explored an impressive shipwreck, swam with sea turtles, and spotted stingrays and other marine life along the way. The crew was friendly and professional, visibility in the water was great, and the vibe on board was relaxed and fun. One of the best activities of our trip to Barbados, highly recommend!

Great experience all the way around!!!

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.

Best day EVER!!

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!

Rained half of the tour, and the whole boat got soaked. But the experience Still worth every penny.

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 :)

Great excursion!

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

Probably the best thing we have done in Barbados- highly recommend - can’t thank you and your team enough for a wonderful experience.

Saw a turtle - got a tattoo!

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!!!

Operator response

Thanks! Glad we could find you some turtles :) we are the best at tracking them
