Absolutely perfect catamaran experience from start to finish. The crew were outstanding — friendly, attentive, and genuinely funny, which made the whole trip feel relaxed and special. Their knowledge of the island and the sea really added to the experience, giving us interesting insights along the way without ever feeling overdone. Everything was so well organised, with a lovely atmosphere on board and plenty of little touches that made a difference. We felt completely looked after the entire time. The scenery was stunning, the swimming stops were beautiful, and the whole day just flowed effortlessly. It’s one of those experiences where everything comes together perfectly — great crew, great company, and a truly memorable setting. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Barbados. A real highlight of our trip.

We had a an absolutely amazing morning/afternoon trip. This is by far one of the best trips we have ever done. Everything was amazing from the communication, transfer and the boat itself. The food and drink was the best quality and was free flowing all day. The staff were so attentive and passionate about the island, they really are a credit. We snorkelled, all the kit was provided and crew were in the water and the other watching attentively so ensure everyone was safe. We saw turtles up close, what and amazing experience. With a small group of 12 this was the perfect trip and have no hesitation in recommending. I would do again in a heartbeat. Get booking

Start to finish amazing ! Great crew and Catamaran. The service and food excellent along with the non stop beverages if you wished. The crew was very entertaining knowledgeable and friendly. Water and snorkeling super enjoyable. Can’t say enough about what an awesome day and experience it was .

What an incredible way to spend a day !!! This is a "must do" experience, made by the crew plus small numbers on board. The food, beverages and service provided is first class but what makes it that bit more special is the way crew will ensure any non swimmers or those not confident in the water will still get to explore the waters and snorkel with turtles. All buoyancy gear provided plus a crew member goes in the water and "tows" any non swimmers along providing reassurance and safety. First class and thoroughly recommend plus would definitely utilise Calabaza again when we return !! Thanks to all

This exceptional experience was definitely a highlight of our trip. Captain Ben and his crew provided an amazing experience that was fun for everyone in our group (ages 5-70).

We came back 7 years after our first outing with Calabaza and were delighted to find the service is still absolutely top notch. Food, drinks and staff are brilliant on this trip, so attentive, so friendly and really informative. See you again Calabaza.
