Catamaran Boat Trip

Barbados Family Vacations

Barbados boat tripHighly recommended in Barbados: a day-long outing on the water, with opportunities for snorkeling over coral, and in a spot where snorkelers can see sea turtles.

Our catamaran carried dozens of passengers, but was large enough for everyone to have a place in the sun (or in the shade, if preferred.) The trip included a lunch with fried flying fish, the ubiquitous local specialty.

Our first snorkel stop gave everyone a chance to see beautiful fish over coral. Snorkeling gear is provided. Most kids six and up catch on to snorkeling pretty fast; if you have time, prep your kids first at home -- see Teach a Small Child to Snorkel, at TWKids.

Our second snorkel stop didn't feature colorful fish  but was undoubtedly the one kids will remember best because they see giant sea turtles-- which is what everyone is looking for, at the left.
