Private Tour: Barbados Catamaran Snorkeling Cruise

Summary

Depart from your Barbados hotel in a climate-controlled vehicle and travel to the Bridgetown marina, where your own personal catamaran awaits you. Meet your skipper and step aboard El Tigre, the 60-foot-long (18-meter), 24-foot-wide (7-meter) vessel that you and up to 50 friends and family members will cruise around Barbados’ west coast on. Unwind on deck and soak up the sun and sea views as your skipper guides you out onto the open waters of the Caribbean Sea. Sip a coffee or juice and much on a slice of coconut bread as you admire the pretty coastline. Unlimited soda, rum punch and beer are also available. Stop first at a popular snorkeling site, where sea turtles often gather. Pull on a provided snorkel mask and dive off the catamaran into the azure water to swim alongside these majestic creatures. After roughly 45 minutes, continue to the second snorkeling spot, where you’ll have the opportunity to snorkel over a shipwreck teeming with tropical fish. Continue along the west coast and anchor off a beach. Here, enjoy lunch on board, and then jump into the waters and swim to the pristine sands for a stroll along the beach. Back on El Tigre, dry off with a cocktail and listen to some soca, a form of Caribbean calypso music, while you cruise back to Bridgetown. Your tour concludes with a hotel drop-off.
