• A catamaran cruise is a great way to get “up close and personal” with the sea turtles and get some snorkeling experience at the same time. They supply snorkeling gear and the crew will guide you every step of the way.

• Several boat operators offer Swim & Snorkel trips – a wonderful opportunity to see some wrecks and swim with the turtles ... notably Maximum Watersports, Tranquility Cruises, Cannon Charters and Barbados Fishing Charters on “IOU”
