Best snorkling tour in Barbados - We had the best experience with Che for snorkling over the shipwrecks, to see turtles. Che explained in detail how the tour would work, what to do when we see turtles, best way to take photos. He captures amazing photos throughout and shares later. We have taken snorkling tours all over the world but Che’s snorkling tour was the best experience. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to see turtles during their Barbados stay.

Terrific! - We are about to head home after three weeks in Barbados. Best of all things we did in all that time....? Che's Snorkel trip. Its early in the morning but that makes it quieter and avoids the commercial charters. Spent all the time on the wrecks swimming with the turtles. The lads were superattentive to making sure our kids were okay. Che sent loads of great photos of our time in the water so we didnt even have to worry about taking photos, leaving us to just snorkel and have a good time. Delivered on all the promises. Well done lads - just terrific!

A memorable morning in turtle paradise! - What an amazing experience! We looked at many options for a boat trip to see turtles and this was by far the best one for us! The early morning start meant that we were the only boat out in the water so we had the turtles all to ourselves! There were 12 of us in the group in total and Che managed to get fabulous photos of all of us with the turtles. He genuinely cares about the well being and protection of these delightful creatures and they clearly adore him! Everywhere he went, they followed! He took the time to ensure everyone in our group was comfortable and felt safe in the water. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the sealife and the shipwrecks that we saw. We were incredibly fortunate and saw around 5 turtles, white spotted eagle rays and puffer fish to name a few. He even treated us to some rum punch and banana bread whilst we sailed back to shore- a really thoughtful gesture! All in all this was a calm and tranquil excursion which focuses purely on the wonders under the sea. Che took many wonderful photos which he emailed to us the following day for no additional cost. Don’t hesitate to book this wonderful opportunity!

It was just what we... - It was just what we needed! Che didn’t mind my 5 year old to come on the boat as long as me or my husband stayed with her. He made sure my daughter still got to see if up close because she weren’t able to swim. Thank you for that!

Perfect snorkelling experience! - We booked to go snorkelling and see the turtles with Che and it did not disappoint. Che and his first mate were friendly and attentive. They never rushed any of us and they clearly have a great knowledge and appreciation of the sea and the turtles. The tour felt a lot calmer and personal than the bigger boats which go out because the tour leaves early to beat the other operators. Che and his first mate showed us three different wrecks and were happy to help with any questions or concerns. There was no rush to finish the tour and Che was happy for people to do some snorkelling on their own whilst he kept an eye on us all. Che took some excellent pictures which he sent to us the same day! If you want an excellent and more personal snorkelling tour, this is the one to go for! We had a truly fantastic time - it was the highlight of our holiday!
