I just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our ½ day trip on Barbados on March 16. My wife and I had a nice tour of Harrison’s Cave, wildlife reserve and snorkeling with the turtles and fish. Quammie was a knowledgeable and friendly tour operator. We hope to come back again, and will recommend him and your tour company to friends and family.

Great way to see all around Barbados.

Jam packed day that has you rushing from one spot to another. We had an "unplanned" stop at a pottery factory, supposedly because of the time of the cave tour. But it felt extremely planned out as someone was waiting to give us a tour.

The low point of the day was definitely the cave. If there was a way to skip it I would have been thrilled. Seen far better caves in the past. Something to be survived, not enjoyed in my opinion.

The monkey preserve was fantastic. We stopped just outside and had a chance to actually feed them. They are incredibly gentle and will happily sit there and pick through the seed in your hand to find the choicest bits. I could have stayed all day.

Snorkeling was an experience. We stopped twice. I am experienced and had no issues. However, the current was so strong that roughly 3/4 of the people on the boat had to be rescued. The difference in my opinion was not only experience but also the fact that I had my own fins, which the boat did not provide. Makes a huge difference when dealing with currents. Life vests were flying off the boat, people were being pulled back in. I have never seen anything like it. To make it more difficult, locals trying to convince you to go for a jet ski ride were zipping through the snorkeling area. I was nearly hit in the head. No help with the rescue, just asking you to ditch the boat and go with them instead.

Sea turtles were at the second, much calmer spot. They were great. Used to being fed by people so they are fearless. Will swim straight at you.

Doing what: Aruba Shore Excursion: Island Tour of Aruba

The tour operator met us at the port and was very punctual. Our driver was informative and very knowledgable. The only negative is that I have an extreme height phobia and did not realize that the tour involved traveling up a steep mountain on a very narrow road. At one point we had to back down to allow another vehicle to pass. Scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the pilot on our ship was wonderful
the sights included turtles and a squid not seen on every tour ..
they were safety orientated and did a good job the pictures are fun

great way to see the island. recommend

The highlight of this tour was the green monkeys. You get to see them and feed them in their natural environment. The day tour is a great way to get to see a lot of what Barbados has to offer.

Doing what: Barbados Shore Excursion: Barbados in a Day Tour

This was a great tour. We were picked up outside the cruise terminal and taken first to Harrison Caves. Here, we boarded a tram for a guided tour through the caves. Then, it was onto a few scenic stops before lunch at a local restaurant. From here, we went to the Nature Reserve and saw the most amazing monkeys, tortoises, deer, snakes, iguanas and more. Our last stop was for a snorkel excursion to swim with turtles and then over a ship wreck. Definitely the best way to see what Barbados has to offer when you are limited on time!

Great excursion! Our guide had a great personality and made sure we enjoyed our day. The selection of things we did was wonderful. Highlite was feeding the monkeys and swimming with the turtles. All ages enjoyed the activities.

I was impressed with our tour. Everyone was super that we worked with and it was a tour that I would recommend to anyone.

This was amazing. We saw some much on this tour. We went to the Cave, Garden with the most amazing view, and to the wildlife reserve. I took my 8 year old daughter on this and she loved every minute of it. We got to see the whole island I feel. I got a good sense of what Barbados was about. We ran out of time before we could do it all, it didn't matter. We were lucky for it to be my daughter myself and the guide. She was wonderful and friendly and answer all of our questions about Barbados. If you like the this type of stuff you'll love this.
