I had an excellent experience! The monkeys were absolutely adorable, and we can see how workers feed them, which was a highlight of the visit. The Wildlife Reserve is home to many fascinating animals, and Huntes Garden is truly a hidden gem—small but incredibly cozy and bursting with color. It’s a must-see for anyone visiting Barbados! To top it off, we enjoyed a delicious fish lunch. Absolutely no regrets about spending my half-day this way—it was well worth it!

Great time snorkeling, crew were really friendly and safety conscious. Saw a turtle, stingray and many other fish along with two shipwrecks,all in all a great experience especially for my partner who has never been snorkeling before.

Chris was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and also most personable which made our day very pleasant. It was our first time to Barbados and she put together a perfect itinerary - including Speightstown, Animal Flower Cave, Rum Punch stop at local bar, surfing beach, Cherry Tree Hill and Huntes Gardens. We loved every minute!

Cris was the best tour guide! She was super prompt, and gave us great and interesting information, history of the island and answered any questions we asked of her. We enjoyed our day trip with her so much! Can’t wait to come back and cannot recommend Cris enough! What an asset to your tour company! She definitely made our day delightful, thanks again!

It was a nice trip! A little tight on seating room, but very informative and beautiful scenery! Stopped at many places along the way and saw some really old churches from the 1600's! Very educational!

We had wonderful whole day tour with our guide Susan. Pickup was very smooth as was the initial planning of the day. We had a rough plan, which Susan gave slight corrections due to her local knowledge. She drove us around the whole island and showed us the most marvelous places. When we had a beach stop, she just waited patiently and later even clarified per phone, if the one plantation house we wanted to visit was open at the day of our visit. She even showed us places, where the locals go for swimming, which turned out to be a wonderful beach, which was never meantioned in any touristic guide. All in all at extremly wonderful experience!

If you're wondering why there aren't more reviews for this tour, let me clear that up right now—this is a fantastic tour with a top-notch company. You can book it with confidence, knowing you'll get both quality and safety. And as a general life tip, if you're kind and respectful to the guides and fellow travelers, you'll have an even better time. Why Every Tour Needs a Guide Like Charles Charles is the kind of guide every tour needs. He’s personable, knowledgeable, and keeps things moving. Most stops have scheduled time slots, so he adjusted things as needed to ensure we saw everything. That’s just real-world logistics, folks. The Van Ride and Why a Cooling Towel is Your New Best Friend You’ll spend a decent amount of time in the van, especially on the way back. That’s just part of touring an island where hotels and resorts are scattered all over. The company does a smart thing by picking people up in groups and then dividing them into their specific tours at the first stop. It keeps things efficient, but just be prepared for some drive time from there on. The van has AC, but with the hills and turns, it can feel a little stuffy, and let’s be honest—it’s warm. That’s why you came to Barbados, right? If you get carsick, consider taking precautions. A cooling towel made a huge difference for me—just wet it, add a little ice at stops, and you’re set. I used the Sukeen 4 Pack Cooling Towel (40"x12"). Cold bottled water is also available, which helps. And remember, you came to Barbados for the warm weather! The island isn’t just a resort and an airport—it’s worth exploring. Tour Highlights Bathsheba Beach is stunning, with massive rock formations rising from the sand and waves crashing against the shore. We dipped our feet in the water and took in the view, but I would have loved a little more time here. We got about 10 minutes, which was shorter than planned to keep the overall schedule on track, but even a quick stop was worth it. Barbados Wildlife Reserve is home to an impressive number of tortoises, along with peacocks, chickens, and more. Of course, you’ll see the famous green monkeys! The monkeys get fed fresh fruit, so they aren’t shy about showing up. Just a word of advice—look up every now and then unless you want an unexpected "souvenir" from above. St Nicholas Abbey is packed with history and still fully operational today. We met the owner, who was surprisingly funny and clearly treats his team well. The tour takes you through the rum-making process from sugarcane crushing to bottling. There’s also an old film about the island’s history, followed by a tasting session. Another 10 to 15 minutes here would have been nice, but it was still a highlight of the day. Cherry Tree Hill offers one of the most breathtaking views on the island. No activities here—just a chance to take in the scenery and snap some photos. Lunch at Sand Dunes Bar and Restaurant was a standout meal. Flying fish, macaroni pie, rice, garden salad, and potato salad—authentic Bajan food that put resort buffets to shame. If you want real local flavors, this is it. Harrison’s Cave is an incredible underground cave system explored by tram. Be sure to complete the waiver before tour day, or you won’t be able to go in. The island is made of coral and limestone, not volcanic rock like many other islands in the region, and that’s why the tap water in Barbados tastes amazing. Unless you have a deep love for sparkling water, stick with the still water here—it’s naturally filtered through the island’s limestone. Final Thoughts This tour is absolutely worth it. The sites are stunning, the pacing is well thought out, and you get a real sense of the island beyond the resorts. Just be ready for some driving, bring a cooling towel, and enjoy the adventure.

We were sceptical when vooking in advance but didnt want to miss out on this opportunity. It was amazing value for money. We were aboard Tranquility and saw 3 different turtles, lots of fish and even some rays!

This was a great day! We got to spend a few hours on the beach under an umbrella then off to the boat for a 2-stop snorkel. First we saw a sting ray, multiple tarpon and other fish, then next stop was at a shipwreck with so many fish! And yet another sting ray was on the bottom. It was a great deal and a nice group of guides.

We enjoyed our short boat trip & snorkelling. Although we didn’t see any turtles we did see a variety of colourful fish, a boat wreck and a stingray. The staff were very helpful in describing how to use the equipment and very encouraging of my wife who was not confident in her abilities. A rum punch at the end of the trip slipped down well! The trip was one of our holiday highlights!

A fun tour of the island! Lisa was a great guide and made me feel so welcomed as a solo traveler. Bring plenty of sunscreen and maybe a hat or snack! The animals were so cool

A wonderful experience to swim with turtles and beautiful fish in a safe manner and from a caring team. Well worthwhile. Thank you

Friendly helpful crew. Safe and well equipped ship. Lovely beach and very cool sights (ships wrecks and fish). We also saw a stingray. Great value. 90 minutes was perfect. Price was excellent.

Our tour guy Calvin was excellent and knowledgeable. We saw a good portion of the island then a nice 2-3 hour stay at Savvy on the bay.

Our guide was great, very personable and friendly. The trip package was fine, lots of interesting information, the plantation grounds were beautiful.
