Herfnerd Posted August 24, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Will be in Barbados in mid-September. Looking at going to The Boatyard or Lobster Alive and hang out on the beach Have read about snorkel tour operators that will approach you on the beach and take you off shore to snorkel with turtles, wrecks, etc for a fraction of the cost of excursions. Just wondered what sort of experience everyone has had and whether they felt safe with these impromptu tour guides and other than the obvious, is there anything we need to be aware of? Any suggestions on a particular boat/guide, would be welcomed! TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted August 30, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I know for sure snorkel tours are offered at Boatyard because we watched a young couple's things while they took one for about three hours. They seemed to have had a good time. ~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debshomespun Posted September 16, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2012 When we were at Lobster Alive this past February we almost went for only $20. pp. I don't snorkel very good, so we decided against it. Just a regular little boat as opposed to a catamaran and no drinks,lunch or beach...but already at a beautiful beach and a fraction of the cost. They take you over not far into the bay and is the same place all the catamaran excursions go to. Maybe next time we will try this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widehunters3 Posted September 16, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I too am hoping to hear from others regarding their past experience. We will be in Barbados February 2013. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltigre Posted September 19, 2012 #7 Share Posted September 19, 2012 We haven't been yet but have booked with The Dive Shop for a 1 hour snorkel over the wrecks. There will be divers in our group as well. http://www.divebds.com/ I wanted to do the wrecks not the turtles at Folkstone that is why I picked this one.

aimodels Posted September 20, 2012 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The wrecks are in Carlisle Bay. You'll likely come across turtles on your trip. The wrecks are shallow - easy to see even while snorkeling. You'll have a blast. Cheers, P:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
