Our driver was excellent. His name was Stevan . He was super knowledgeable of the history and the places we visited. A bit disappointed on the snorkeling part as we only saw one turtle. 😟

Accommodating for All Ages and Needs!

Lily_N, Jul 2024

Our recent experience with the tour was amazing. The staff’s attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everyone had a great time made our experience truly special. Grandma, who has trouble walking, was treated with such care and respect. The tour guide provided her with a cane and made sure all our stops were accessible and comfortable for her. They checked in with her regularly and adjusted the pace of the tour to meet her needs without making us feel rushed. Traveling with a grouchy 10-year-old who didn’t want to try new things was initially a challenge, but the tour engaged him with fun and educational activities and found ways to make it more interesting for him. By the end of the trip, he was fully engaged and even excited about what he had learned. The tour was well-organized, informative, and enjoyable for everyone in our group. I highly recommend them for a fantastic and accommodating tour experience.

It was an amazing and fun experience, our tour guy was very educational and you can tell he loves what he does!

Nice tour guide but we didn't expect a 4 hour island tour in a minivan and we were not allowed to feed monkeys!

Mark_B, Apr 2024

We thought this was a trip to the animal farm where we would feed monkeys, then go directly to the beach....instead, we spent four hours touring around the island and only about an hour on the beach....the snorkeling was sub par....they loaded 30 people to snorkel with 3 turtles that were feeding on grass 20 feet below us....then took us to a very tourist "ship wreck" that was only like 30 yards off the beach... Maybe we read the details wrong but we didnt expect to spend our only day in Barbados riding around in a minivan all day....and the during the monkey feeding, we werent allowed to touch the monkeys or their food, we just watched them eat for like 10 minutes....the animal farm was depressing, not worth the time or money....basically a bunch of box turtles on a very unstable walkway....would should have just taken a taxi to the beach...

The excursion was talked...

Gina_S, Apr 2024

The excursion was talked up more than the actual experience. We have been to monkey land and Punta Cana, and it was way better of an experience. Here the monkeys were fed, and you were just able to watch them eat. Nothing very exciting, more like just having a quick stop at the zoo. Snorkeling, and times were short, and, as I am aware, it is the ocean, and you cannot control the turtles, we saw two turtles briefly on the bottom of the sea. The snorkeling site was very close to the beach, so I am guessing you would also be able to see the turtles if you just snuggled from the beach.

Only Received 1/2 a Tour! Bad Information!

ROBERT_D, Mar 2024

The 1st part of our tour was really good. Chris was an amazing driver and she provided a lot of great insight on the island. We really enjoyed the Animal Preserve and all the critters. Then the bad news…we were told we could not go on the Beach and Snorkel portion of the tour because our Ship had all aboard at 3:30. Before selecting this trip I received an e-mail from the tour operator assuring me that they would have us back by 3:00. We later found out that we would not return from the snorkeling until 3:00

Wonderful day!!

Greta_P, Mar 2024

We loved to see the monkey feeding time and snorkeling over the shipwreck was amazing! We were able to get a delicious local lunch at the beach before going out to snorkel. The prices were very reasonable there.

Fun day

Kathryn_P, Mar 2024

We booked it with 8 people and ended up with a private tour in a van! There was a bit of driving. The sanctuary was cool. Definitely not "out in the wild," but fun to see. They definitely fed monkeys and the fish to get them to come see us, but hey, we saw them!

Enjoyed seeing the monkeys turtles(land and sea) and colorful fish. Driver and crew in our boat were entertaining and attentive. Bathsheba was beautiful.

Charles was an amazing...

Michelle_C, Feb 2024

Charles was an amazing tour guide! He brought the island to life for us! He's so knowledgeable! Snorkeling with the sea turtles was so memorable!

An overall good tour. We...

Anna_Z, Dec 2023

An overall good tour. We had a small group (the two of us plus a 4-person family) in a van. The driver of the vehicle was also the guide. It would have been nice to have a separate tour guide, as the roads in Barbados are difficult, and we did not want to distract the driver with too many questions. The driver/guide did provide some commentary about the island, but he spoke in a very low voice and it was difficult to follow what he was saying. The monkey reserve was a delight! They tell you not to feed the monkeys, but if you donate $1, they will gladly pour some feed into your palm and let you feed them. The snorkeling was good too. We saw some colorful fish. There are 5-6 catamarans snorkeling at the same time, so expect a big crowd snorkeling with you.

Loved the Wildlife...

Ellen_S, Nov 2023

Loved the Wildlife Reserve and snorkeling. Our guide, Dee, was wonderful. We had a great tour of the island and Dee was so knowledgeable about the history and current lifestyle on the island. Great day all around!

great island tour

thackerw, Jan 2023

I loved the tour of the islands, the monkeys and the snack at dinah's. The snorkeling was too crowded and not really that interesting. I would have been just as happy just seeing more of barbados. The meeting place was excellent and absolutely no problems to find it.

Wonderful varied excursion!

Marti_R, Nov 2022

Calvin is a great tour guide and we were a bit worried about getting back to ship on one since the time had changed but he coordinated everything! Loved the monkeys and the wildlife park and the shipwreck snorkeling

Great tour! you go...

Orlando_O, Feb 2026

Nice tour! you go first to the nature reserve where you are 20 minutes to see the turtles and 25 monkeys, maybe a little ‘little from the monkeys considering that you could stay longer, also because after the sea we were only the time of the boat (there were 50 considering that there were also other tours) and then not respecting the timing from description, that is 2 hours and a half. We stayed more the same on the beach voluntarily but independently organizing the return by ship.

Super quasiment parfait

Pascal_V, Jan 2024

Nous avons fait l'excursion surf and turf , point de rendez vous facile à trouver à la sortie du terminal, chauffeur sympa qui donne des explications tout en vous amenant à la réserve des singes où on a pu voir des tortues en liberté ainsi que des daims ,boire un rum punch puis voir le nourrissage des singes... Quelques arrêts pendant les trajets pour des points photos super sympas Ensuite retour au port , temps libre pour boire une coco sur la plage, se balader pendant environ 45 minutes avant d'être emmené pour aller nager avec des tortues dans l'océan et voir une épave grâce aux tubas fournis...même les mauvais nageurs peuvent être rassurés par les gars qui sont dans l'eau prêts à intervenir... Petite boisson offerte à bord du bateau mais pas beaucoup de temps pour profiter.... Après nous avons été repris par le chauffeur à l'endroit et à l'heure prévus puis emmenés au terminal de croisière... Bref super sortie je recommande. Un peu plus de temps sur le bateau pour apprécier la boisson offerte et aussi un peu de temps avant de repartir pour le port et cette sortie serait parfaite.
