volleymasha Posted February 25, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I need to book a tour independently that will allow us to do (or attempt -- I understand turtles are not guaranteed :) ) these 2 activities. We'll be traveling with our 4 year old and 6 year old. The RCCL excursion won't accomodate a child under 5. I have e-mailed thriller and have not heard back. Any recommendations? Would you recommend a catamaran, thriller, or one of the glass bottom boat tours? Or something else entirely? Thanks!

seaboy Posted February 26, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 26, 2006 What about Michael 232 8157 with the glass bottom boat down Folkestone Park Side. The turtles are guaranteed or money back. He is also very good teaching snorkelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisconsin Travelers Posted February 26, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 26, 2006 We wanted to do an independent excursion like this with thriller, but their boats aren't going out on the day we're in Barbados (April 17 - Golden Princess). We're checking into Small Cats because Silvermoon is too expensive ($100) and an all-day trip, and we only want 3-4 hours. I'll let you know what I learn about the Small Cats excursions.

Snow Bird Posted March 2, 2006 #7 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Hi Volley Masha, If you are trying to get on to Thriller their e-mail address is as follows. thriller-ocean-tours@caribsurf.com They now offer an additional snorkeling stop which is a Coral Reef Snorkel, in addition to the Turtle & Shipwreck Snorkel.

volleymasha Posted March 3, 2006 Author #8 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Thanks for the replies. Snow bird -- I will try that e-mail address for Thriller. I think that is the one I had but perhaps I am mistaken. Karencruiser -- thanks for the lead on Adventure. I heard back from them and unfortunately they are not doing the tour on our date. The pics on the website looked great, though! So we're still looking. Silvermoon sounds marvelous but on our cruise last year we determined that we preferred shorter excursions (did the lord sheffield in st. maarten). Again, thanks for all your help!

seaboy Posted June 6, 2006 #15 Share Posted June 6, 2006 When I visited, the rates were around US$35 per person, with children at half price. The related website is westwater-adventures-barbados.com. Enjoy Barbados. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Bird Posted June 10, 2006 #17 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Just thought I would let you folks know about our Thriller Turtle & Shipwreck Tour. Well first of all we only paid $45U.S per person for this 3 1/2 hour snorkeling tour. We got this great price because we booked on line. The tour consisted of 3 snorkeling stops at three different locations. 1 Turtle Snorkel 2 Coral Reef Snorkel. 3 Shipwrecks snorkel (2 wrecks) And our last stop was a beach stop where we went on the beach & relaxed while sipping rum punch. All this in 3.5 hours. Thriller has a large fast speedboat so we got to the snorkeling stops quickly & got to spend more time in the water. If you enjoy snorkeling I highly recommend this tour, it was the highlight of our Cruise Vacation. If you need to contact Thriller for availability their e-mail is thriller-ocean-tours@caribsurf.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corporanr Posted June 12, 2006 #18 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I booked with Eltrigrecruises 50 per adult 25 for my 6 yr old my 3yr old free. I thought that was a good price for all 4 of us. This a 3 hour tour 2 snorkling sites. they also told me that they specialize in children. We'll see !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
