2.00The experience was canceled before we had left for the meeting point. Trip Advisor and Viatour refunded our tour in full. We rented a Clear Kayak and went out on our own, so the day was not a disappointment.
Awful

1.00Guide didn’t show up, no communication, no refund. I emailed both the guide and tour operator and not had a response

5.00I recently went on a clear kayak tour in Barbados led by Nikki, and it was fantastic. Nikki's calm demeanor and wealth of information made the experience both relaxing and educational. He was able to cater to everyone's skill level, ensuring that both experienced kayakers and beginners like my friend and I felt comfortable and engaged. I highly recommend Nikki for anyone looking to explore Barbados's beautiful waters!
Nicky was a great...

5.00Nicky was a great instructor and although kayaking isn’t very easy he’s very patient and lets you try to get the hang of it

1.00The website was not accurate. We booked the tour and then received a call from the vendor who said there were not slots available.
Great experience.

5.00Great experience. Lots to see out on the water from a different perspective than snorkelling. Definitely worth doing.
A bit shorter than described

3.00The tour itself was ok, we saw sea turtles and fishes near the ship wreck, however, the experience wasn't quite as expected, we booked the coral reef tour because we did the snorkeling the day before and wanted to see something different, but the tour guide rescheduled our tour to the Carlisle Bay the day after because of the wind, but we actually didn't feel the weather is much better the next day, so now we are basically seeing the same thing as the snorkeling tour before. Also our tour was just 1h, less than described of 1.5h, and we didn't really get the rum punch described in the intro, I understand it's hot weather to host such tour but still it's a bit disappointing.
Group tour becomes private tour!

5.00Nicky is our tour guide. He has prepared well, called us in the morning to update us the weather which may require us to reschedule the tour. Fortunately, the tour was still going, and only my partner and I showed up. Nicky showed us the devil fish and we saw them in the glass bottom of the kayak. He had been professional to give us a quick tutorial of kayak, because it's the first time for my partner.
Amazing trip

5.00Booked this for my boyfriends birthday and it didn’t disappoint! The guides were so friendly and knowledgable, really looked after us and made us feel safe! The boats were great you got a really good view of the reefs & shipwreck when you went over them. We enjoyed a delicious rum punch at the end of the boat trip too courtesy of the guys 🙌🏾 The beach the trip is located at is lovely, a little calmer than at Christchurch where we have been staying so we spent a few hours enjoying the water there & had a lovely fish dinner at the surf side beach bar! Was an amazing morning/ afternoon.

5.00Great way to tour the reefs and shipwrecks. Clear kayaks are normally based out of Carlisle Bay but get in touch directly with Nicky & the team if you want to explore near Holetown instead.
