We had an amazing time on the Calabaza small group catamaran cruise! The crew was absolutely fantastic and so knowledgeable about Barbados. They shared lots of interesting information about the island and made everyone feel welcome from the moment we stepped on board. The food was delicious and just kept coming. Seriously, don't eat before you go! The drinks were plentiful, the service was top notch, and the atmosphere was fun, relaxing, and perfect for a day on the water. We snorkeled with sea turtles, enjoyed beautiful views, and made memories we'll never forget. If you're visiting Barbados, this excursion is a must. Worth every penny! Don’t forget to tip this amazing crew, they are the best!

This was our 4th trip on board and while Peter and his collegue were fantastic with the drinks, food , turtles etc, the captain was miserable. Music very low, asked to turn it up, hardly went up, atmosphere was a bit drab, not like our previous visits. My wife climbed on board after snorkeling and started to rinse her self with the hose the captain jumped up like hot lava was going to splash him, a captain afraid of a little splash

Fabulous day on the Calabaza. Ben and the boys were fantastic, the food and drinks were great. The catamaran is clean, beautiful and the bathrooms are also very clean. The length of the cruise was great, stopped twice at various locations to cool off and snorkel, everyone did see the turtles and various fish.

We had an absolutely amazing time on the 5-hour catamaran cruise! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The food was delicious with plenty of great options, and the entire experience was relaxing, fun, and well organized. The crew truly made the trip unforgettable — they were funny, energetic, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome the entire time. You could tell they genuinely enjoyed what they do, and their positive attitude added so much to the atmosphere. The views, the service, the music, and the overall vibe were incredible. We would highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience on the water. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Great half day out, the crew were excellent, the food and drinks started as soon as ee got on board and didnt stop until we landed again, great snorkeling, fabulous lunch made by Kiam. Captain Chad pointed out all the interesting sights on our trip up the coast, he has an endless supply of jokes to keep you amused. Would definitely recommend, great value.
