gregdude Posted February 14, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I will be in Barbados in April on the Veendam and have booked the "5 Star Catamaran & Turtle Encounter" excursion. I would like to know if anyone has done this and what they thought of this excursion? I'm open to other, perhaps better, excursions. I enjoy snorkeling and this seems to fit the bill but you never know! Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, we went on the tiami 5 star and had a fabulous time. it wasnt very crowded so it felt like our own boat. we had a nice buffet lunch. totally worth doing. the kids liked it too. only tip, there was sea lice in the water and it stung a bit. but i read that you should try to wash off or wipe off with a towel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim and Monika Posted March 13, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 13, 2010 What the heck is "Sea Lice?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJPacer Posted March 14, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2010 It's baby Jelly Fish. Some people are allegic and develop a rash. Rinse off ASAP after being in the water. Make sure fresh water gets between your swim suit and your body. They get trapped against your skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim and Monika Posted March 14, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Thank you for the reply. I never heard of this. Thank you too for tip on rinsing off. I don't remember if there were fresh water rinse stations on the catamaran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCo9 Posted March 20, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 20, 2010 We went with TIAMI (This is a moving investment, at least that is what we were told it stands for) and LOVED it. The guides bring squid for the turtles and you can get VERY close to them. One even nipped my calf. That was a little closer of an encounter than I was hoping for. Also saw a Flying Gunnard while we were there. The "Flying Fish" sandwhiches were AWESOME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
