Experience the beauty beneath the waves on our Turtle & Shipwreck Cruise, departing from the stunning Carlisle Bay on Barbados’ southwest coast.
Carlisle Bay is a beautiful crescent-shaped bay known for its calm, crystal-clear waters and thriving marine life. Beneath the surface, you may encounter colorful tropical fish, seahorses, rays, octopus, and sea turtles. The bay is also home to six historic shipwrecks, creating a fascinating underwater environment and an unforgettable adventure for snorkelers.
This 80-minute cruise includes snorkeling at one shipwreck and a visit to the turtle-feeding area, where you’ll have the opportunity to swim alongside these incredible creatures.
Please note that marine life sightings vary from day to day. While turtles are commonly seen, the number can vary greatly—you may see several turtles or just one. On very rare occasions, turtles may not be spotted. As these are wild animals, sightings cannot be guaranteed.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Your tour will depart from Tour Departure Gate One (1), located within the cruise terminal.
Depending on where your cruise ship is docked, you will most likely need to take a shuttle bus from your ship to the cruise terminal. Once you exit the terminal doors, you will arrive at the designated tour gate and bus-loading departure area.
Look for the “Beautiful Barbados Tours” sign at Gate One (1). One of our representatives will be there to welcome you and assist with check-in. After checking in, our representative will direct you to your tour guide and tour vehicle.
Please arrive at the designated departure location at least ten (10) minutes before your scheduled departure time. This will allow sufficient time for check-in and boarding and help ensure a smooth and timely departure.
If you do not select the transfer option, you will need to make your own way to the meeting location and arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled cruise departure time. The boat is docked along the boardwalk on the seaside, near Carlisle House.
