Hop on our shuttle to Savvy on the Bay and board our vessel Tranquility with ease and join us on our 1.5 hour Turtle & Shipwreck adventure in Carlisle Bay.
Carlisle Bay boasts calm turquoise waters lapping on the soft white sand. Under the surface of the sea Carlisle Bay comes alive with vibrant tropical fish in abundance, sea horses, sea turtles, octopus, rays, and much more! This unique array of marine life is due in part to the six different ship wrecks in the water as shallow as 12ft.
After the snorkel excursion we will take you to Savvy on the Bay on Carlisle Bay where you will be provided with a beach lounger, umbrella and a welcome drink drink. Soak in the sea, or lay on your beach lounger and enjoy the sunshine. Its the perfect way to spend a day in Barbados

5.00Amazing trip. You get sunbeds and umbrella at Savvy on the beach. The driver agrees a time to pick you up so you get aslong as you want. The boat trip doesn't take you out far but you see the turtles and then get taken to the ship wreck site. Easy to find outside the cruise terminal. Would book again

2.00Snorkel part of this was a five star. I'm giving it a two-star because the company at the terminal were absolutely rude and terrible. They made us wait for a half hour because another ship was coming in. That was late and they never once explained to us what was going on. Then on the way back they practice into a bus that was meant for 44 passengers and they put about $50.55 passengers on it. Terrible. Terrible. They should never have done this. It should have been more coordinated.. you can do this exact same excursion on your own. Just get a taxi from the port. It was $5 each way per person. Then when you get to the beach you can rent a chair an umbrella for $10 and do the snorkel tour for $30 each.
SAVVY all the Way

5.00This tour was well organized and was only a short bus ride to the beach and snorkeling. The facilities were great as you had access to chairs, a bar and food trucks. The snorkeling was right in front of our beach chairs so everything was very convenient and very easy to do. I would definitely visit SAVVYon the beach again.
Over advertised, not worthy

3.00This snorkel was like a joke. The shipwreck had some fish and just coupke hundred feet from the beach. To see turles would be even more ridiculous, the site was almost next the the beach and there was no turtle to see!
Nice day outing

5.00A relatively short, smooth bus ride to the beach. After getting our beach chairs we got onto the boat for snorkeling. We saw a few small turtles at the bottom and then one came up close to us. When we moved to the sunken ship area there were lots of fish. Had fun jumping off the boat and down the slide. The tour operators were friendly and very helpful. Beach was very nice, although somewhat crowded. Water was lovely.
Fabulous day out, well worth the money!

5.00Fabulous day out. Well worth the money. Easy pick up at cruise port, great time out on the boat with life jackets etc, free rum punch or soft juice, and a rum punch beer or water on the beach. Lovely experience ….

5.00Great experience. It was really convenient to have transportation from the cruise ship to the beach and not have to worry about all the add-ons once we got there. Having two chairs, an umbrella, a drink and snorkeling included made it easy. The food truck options were a nice bonus. The snorkeling spot wasn’t far from where our group was set up on the beach. I was able to swim over one of the shipwrecks first and then check out another area with more ocean life. I’m not sure how many turtles are usually around, but the one we saw on the ocean floor wasn’t all that impressive.
