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.

From the moment we stepped aboard, the catamaran experience was nothing short of exceptional. The staff were absolutely on point—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about making every guest feel special. The small group size made the trip feel intimate and personal, allowing us to relax, connect, and truly soak in the beauty around us. Mikey, you deserve a special shoutout—your encouragement and calm confidence got me into the water to swim with sea turtles, something I’ll treasure forever—truly the experience of a lifetime. Mr. Chef, thank you for the endless flow of drinks—you simply cannot drink that bar dry! More importantly, I truly appreciated you acknowledging my allergies and creating a special meal just for me (next time I’ll remember to mention I don’t eat veg!). To the Captain, thank you for steering such a steady ship. Don’t worry—when I’m back in Barbados, I’m doing this excursion again!

The staff was great! The turtle snorkeling was the best. We loved that it is a small number of guests.

This is our second time going out on the Calabaza. The crew and tour do not disappoint. The max of 12 persons on the catamaran is a plus in addition to the amazing snacks and lunch provided by the crew. Safety is a focus for them while making sure everyone is having a great time. They know exactly where to take you to snorkel in beautiful blue waters among fish filled reefs and turtles.

An excellent trip. Great crew and a beautiful boat. Plenty of canapés, drinks and a good lunch. Snorkeling with turtles and tropical fish. The private car pick up and drop off works really well. Our driver was excellent. A great way to spend 5 hours on the water.
