Shore Excursion Barbados Beach Day and Snorkel Cruise
Overview
Hop aboard your shuttle for a short drive through the capital city of Bridgetown to your meeting point. From there, board your vessel, Tranquility, and set off on an unforgettable 80-minute Turtle and Shipwreck adventure in Carlisle Bay.
Known for its calm turquoise waters and soft white sands, Carlisle Bay is home to an incredible underwater world. Discover vibrant tropical fish, seahorses, rays, octopus, and sea turtles, along with six historic shipwrecks resting in waters as shallow as 12 feet.
After your cruise, relax at Savvy on the Bay, where you’ll receive a welcome drink, beach lounger, and shared umbrella. Swim, soak up the sunshine, or simply unwind by the sea—the perfect way to experience Barbados!

Meeting and Pickup
Your tour will depart from Tour Departure Gate One (1), located within the cruise terminal. Depending on where your cruise ship is docked, you will most likely need to take a shuttle bus from your ship to the cruise terminal. Once you exit the terminal doors, you will arrive at the designated tour gate and bus-loading departure area. Look for the “Beautiful Barbados Tours” sign at Gate One (1). One of the representatives will be there to welcome you and assist with check-in. After checking in, the representative will direct you to your tour guide and tour vehicle. Please arrive at the designated departure location at least ten (10) minutes before your scheduled departure time. This will allow sufficient time for check-in and boarding and help ensure a smooth and timely departure.
