Barbados Beach Day and Turtle Swim

Great beach day
February 27, 2023
This excursion was one of our best days. The snorkeling was good. The beach (with umbrellas and chairs) was nice for sunning and swimming. Beach bar and food trucks were nearby for lunch.

Enjoyed the snorkeling. It helps that the crew brings bread to get all the fish to come closer. The place that we were to get a drink from seemed to avoid us since our drink was included with the excursion.

turtel / shipwreck
January 24, 2020
The group on the dock was easy enough to locate and the van ride to the beach club was good. The property that they take you to was very nice and chairs were part of this package. This trip was two areas of snorkeling. The first were the turtles. The area is very busy with other tour groups and while we did see a turtle it was quick and there was only one that day. The second area was over a shipwreck. This was interesting and fish were around. The trouble with both snorkel areas was the amount of people from other tour made both areas extremely crowded. It was unavoidable but be aware hat this is not a calm easy going snorkel. The beach time was nice and the resort did have food and drinks for sale. All in all it was fun with the kids to see the turtle and the short time in the water was ok.

Crew was very accommodating. We had six in our party, one of whom had an artificial leg that couldn't get wet. Crew lifted her on board and off. Only saw one or two turtles. Ship wreck was interesting. Excursion stated there was a bar on board but there was none.

Perfect Day in Paradise!

This excursion was exactly what they advertised and was totally delightful! They met us promptly and at the location they indicated with a nice comfortable van. The driver took us to the Copacabana resort, got us oriented and introduced us to the boat crew. We had a great time swimming with the turtles and even a couple of rays, then we moved the boat just a short way to be over some sunken ships to snorkel around. The snorkel guide was great, the captain and crew were so fun and helpful. We’d only wish we could stay longer! The beach was beautiful, the water warm and clear. Perfect day!

Another beautiful beach to explore and go swimming in the warmer than expected ocean waters. The excursion to snorkel is well worth the effort. We did see the turtle, a couple of ship wrecks and reefs teaming with all kinds of fish. I was surprised by the close proximity of the beach to the snorkeling area. It seemed like you could just swim over there.

Even though it rained, we loved our snorkel experience. Seeing the turtles up close was an experience to remember - so cool!! We even got to snorkel above a sunken ship, viewing coral and many fish. Our diver/guide dove down toward the ship and blew air bubble rings back up to us. It was fun!

This tour was awesome. It was a short five minute drive to the beach where we jumped on board the boat and went to see the sea turtles and snorkelled around an old ship wreck. Yes we saw turtles! One came up for air about five feet away from me! It was amazing to see these beautiful turtles this closely. Loved the white sand and the beautiful blue, crystal clear, warm water. And the rum punch was good too!

This was our first excursion of our trip and did not disappoint! A bus took us to Pirate's Cove - an all inclusive spot with a beach, restaurant, bar, and swimming available. We had a bit of difficulty boarding the pontoon given waves and were overcrowded once onboard. Thankfully short trip to turtles, given rum punch on board (also drink ticket/person for later). We saw several turtles within hands reach, snorkeled two sunken ships, all in all about 75 mins or so before enjoying rest of day on land. Fulfilled our expectations, nothing fancy, but nicer pricier boats not worth it given short trip to snorkel spot. Would do again - friendly personnel.

We were picked up and taken to the beach which was 2 minutes from the ship. Got on a little boat and we were taken to swim with the turtles. Amazing. Very clear water. Got snorkel gear and swam with turtles and beautiful little fish. Great experience! After an hour they took us back to the beach. There was music playing and a barbeque on the beach where you could buy lunch. I stayed in the water most of the time. We dug up lots of sand dollars and large conchs. This was one of the best tours I have ever taken. I highly recommend it!

The beach was great, you are provided chairs and umbrellas. There is a bar on the beach for drinks and there is food inside the building but I did not eat at this location. The guides are very friendly and take you two 2 sunken boats where you will see tons of fish and many sea turtles. Everyone had a great time.

Barbados is gorgeous! There were many turtles however it seems most tours go to the same area and it gets crowded. Akem did a great job keeping track of everyone. I was disappointed we didn't go out further or get to see a little more of the island by boat. The beach time is very nice and relaxing day.

Wonderful day snorkeling, seeing fish turtles and
January 20, 2016
We had a short drive to the beach. We walked on the boat and liked that we were with a group of about 15 others. Short boat ride to the shipwrecks and we saw many beautiful fish. There were several other groups also in the area here and with the turtles, but we could still see and enjoy them. With the turtles our group was small but another group was viewing at the same time and many people around a few turtles. A beautiful, sandy beach. We got an umbrella and drink vouchers and had a nice, long relaxing time on the beach.

The swimming with the turtles was pretty amazing. The water was CRYSTAL clear! I couldn't believe how close they were to the shore. This meant very little time on the boat. I would have liked to have been sailed around a bit more to see more of the island after the snorkeling.

Private Experience: go early
October 30, 2015
I had the 4 turtles to myself as my husband did not want to get wet. The guides met us right outside the port and easy to find. We were the only ones to choose the solo trip to the beach. Since we did not have to wait, we were the first ones to the spot and therefore, private trip prior to the bigger boats coming. The guide went with me to the snorkel spots but I floated with the turtles alone off the end of the boat. The boat was in good shape.

Everything you take with you, has to be protected from ocean waves. Enter the boat from the shore. Timing is everything. Would not bring iPhone next time. The staff was friendly and the beach was perfect for swimming. Even with rain and low visibility, it was a fun day.

March 06, 2014
There was lot of confusion at the meeting place. The tour group did have not have a designated person at the meeting place. Had to wait for someone to show. They were 15 minutes late. Now mind you, we went to swim with turtles first and then relax at the beach. When we go up to the bar/restaurant, one of the ladies orders a salad. She goes to an enclosed area that looks like a buffet line and the lady at the door told the lady she couldn't go in because she wasn't properly dressed!! She couldn't wear a bathing suit! Duh, we are at the beach!! The server brings her a skimpy salad and no dressing!!! Besides the food incidence, the tour was amazing! Our tour guide was excellent! We got out on the water before any other boats and we were able to have the turtles to ourselves for the first 15 minutes! We highly recommend this tour, but don't count on a great lunch!

This was a very nice excursion. Our guide was very informative.The boat didn't go very far from shore but the guide came in the water with everyone and took pictures. We saw different size turtles and beautiful fish. We also went to a couple shipwrecks. Now don't expect to see old pirate ships lol. They were just old sunken boat but interesting to see none the less. After snorkeling we were taken to a very nice beach to spend a couple hors.

It was a great day. Driver picked us up outside Cruise Terminal. Short ride to beach. Took us to the boat. my husband snorkled with the turtles and then to the ship wrecks. Very nice guide. When back on beach we were given two beach chairs with umbrella to relax the day away. We ate and drank cold beers. Couldn't get any better.
