5.00Our tour guide, Charles, was amazing. He took the time to get to know the names of everyone in our group, and told us interesting information about the island on the way to the monkey sanctuary. We were not able to feed the monkeys, but we were able to get very close to them, and see a mom and baby monkey. My kids loved it! The sanctuary itself had some nice views and took about a 45 minutes to walk around. We also were able to do the snorkeling, and never would have made it past the big waves on the beach to get to the snorkel site without the tour. Snorkeling with a sea turtle in the crystal clear waters, and snorkeling above a shipwreck, are memories we will be talking about for years to come!! Thanks so much, Beautiful Barbados Tours and Charles!!

5.005 star experience! I highly recommend this experience, we started off driving around and learning the rich history of Barbados. We then went to a local stop where we saw turtles, snakes, and a few monkeys in a zoo like enclosure. After that, Glyne took us down to the monkey feeding sanctuary, where we watched the monkeys eat from their natural habitat. Glyne was kind enough to take us to Rihanna’s home, where she grew up! Glyne is highly knowledgeable and provided us with so much information on the history, geography, and people as a whole. If you ever book this amazing excursion, request GLYNE!!!! Enjoy!

5.00Our recent experience with the tour was amazing. The staff’s attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everyone had a great time made our experience truly special. Grandma, who has trouble walking, was treated with such care and respect. The tour guide provided her with a cane and made sure all our stops were accessible and comfortable for her. They checked in with her regularly and adjusted the pace of the tour to meet her needs without making us feel rushed. Traveling with a grouchy 10-year-old who didn’t want to try new things was initially a challenge, but the tour engaged him with fun and educational activities and found ways to make it more interesting for him. By the end of the trip, he was fully engaged and even excited about what he had learned. The tour was well-organized, informative, and enjoyable for everyone in our group. I highly recommend them for a fantastic and accommodating tour experience.
Awesome Experience

5.00It was an amazing and fun experience, our tour guy was very educational and you can tell he loves what he does!
Nice tour guide but we didn't expect a 4 hour island tour in a minivan and we were not allowed to feed monkeys!

3.00We thought this was a trip to the animal farm where we would feed monkeys, then go directly to the beach....instead, we spent four hours touring around the island and only about an hour on the beach....the snorkeling was sub par....they loaded 30 people to snorkel with 3 turtles that were feeding on grass 20 feet below us....then took us to a very tourist "ship wreck" that was only like 30 yards off the beach... Maybe we read the details wrong but we didnt expect to spend our only day in Barbados riding around in a minivan all day....and the during the monkey feeding, we werent allowed to touch the monkeys or their food, we just watched them eat for like 10 minutes....the animal farm was depressing, not worth the time or money....basically a bunch of box turtles on a very unstable walkway....would should have just taken a taxi to the beach...
The excursion was talked...

2.00The excursion was talked up more than the actual experience. We have been to monkey land and Punta Cana, and it was way better of an experience. Here the monkeys were fed, and you were just able to watch them eat. Nothing very exciting, more like just having a quick stop at the zoo. Snorkeling, and times were short, and, as I am aware, it is the ocean, and you cannot control the turtles, we saw two turtles briefly on the bottom of the sea. The snorkeling site was very close to the beach, so I am guessing you would also be able to see the turtles if you just snuggled from the beach.
Only Received 1/2 a Tour! Bad Information!

2.00The 1st part of our tour was really good. Chris was an amazing driver and she provided a lot of great insight on the island. We really enjoyed the Animal Preserve and all the critters. Then the bad news…we were told we could not go on the Beach and Snorkel portion of the tour because our Ship had all aboard at 3:30. Before selecting this trip I received an e-mail from the tour operator assuring me that they would have us back by 3:00. We later found out that we would not return from the snorkeling until 3:00
Wonderful day!!

5.00We loved to see the monkey feeding time and snorkeling over the shipwreck was amazing! We were able to get a delicious local lunch at the beach before going out to snorkel. The prices were very reasonable there.
Fun day

5.00We booked it with 8 people and ended up with a private tour in a van! There was a bit of driving. The sanctuary was cool. Definitely not "out in the wild," but fun to see. They definitely fed monkeys and the fish to get them to come see us, but hey, we saw them!
