Wonderful beach day! - Great snorkel cruise! 45 minutes was enough for us to snorkel under the blazing sun so this was perfect. I wish they provided fins with the snorkel gear. The crew was very helpful and made sure we saw as many fish as possible. We saw only one turtle and suggest to go early since by the afternoon there’s not as many out. We had the beach chairs until 5pm and enjoyed the beautiful beach at Carlisle bay. The beach was so clean and water crystal clear. There’s food service or you can go directly to the Harbor Lights restaurant and bar. There are other spots to go along the beach area for food and drinks as well.

Fun and great value. - We had a wonderful time here. We arrived and were walked down to the turtle stand where we met and were greeted by Destiny who allowed us to pick the first or second tour. We chose the second so we’re walked down to our reserved beach chairs where we relaxed and ordered a drink. Employees working as food runners will bring what you order right to you. We then went for a swim in the beautiful water of Carlisle Bay. We got ready for our tour which was run by Tyrese and Pierre. They did a great job and I found them fun, friendly, and informative. We didn’t see turtles, but saw other sea life and the price can’t be beat. We had a great time snorkeling. We brought our own snorkels but they also provide them.

Excellent all-around beach and snorkeling day! - We purchased the package that included a chair, umbrella, snorkel tour, and lunch. Everything was excellent! Special kudos to the snorkeling team. They were very customer focused, ensuring safety and enjoyment for each person's comfort level. I've been on many snorkel tours, and they by far gave me the most comfort. The 1.5 hr tour provided great viewing of tropical fish, sunken ships, stingrays, nurse sharks, turtles.

Amazing day, snorkeling and lying on the beautiful beach. - Amazing experience! We took a short ride to an area to snorkel. It was one of the coolest things I have ever done! I was a little worried about mobility due to a bypass 1 year ago. However the staff was amazing helping me get off and on the boat! We seen turtles, huge sting rays, bilge fish bigger than me and tons of little fish, so cool! We also rented chairs for the day. The staff were so kind and helpful and bring drinks and or food right to the chairs. The food was great I had a Maui Maui wrap, so good!

Fantastic day. MUST DO!!!! - If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience in Barbados, look no further than Harbour lights! From the moment we arrived, we were treated with first class hospitality, breathtaking scenery, and an experience that we will remember forever. A slice of paradise, white sand, crystal-clear waters, and a laid-back vibe. The staff was welcoming, ensuring we had everything we needed, from refreshing drinks to delicious local cuisine, make sure to try their fish cakes and fresh cut coconuts. But the highlight of the day? The turtle swim! We set out on a short boat ride to a gorgeous snorkeling spot, where we had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim alongside sea turtles, stingray, Tarpon and even spotted a puffer fish! It was a magical moment, one that we’ll never forget. We also snorkelled above a ship wreck with tons of fish and to end it off we got to go on the top deck and slide off a water slide. My kids had a BLAST! The entire experience was seamless, well-organized, and absolutely worth it. If you’re visiting Barbados, this is a must-do! Whether you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, Harbour Lights is the place to be. We can’t wait to return!

Fun but really really crowded!!!! - We went on a Saturday when cruise ships were in town but the snorkel sites were super crowded! It was hard to even float above the areas as there were at least 50 + people in the same area. Cool shipwreck close to the surface for good viewing, only a few small turtles but a great way to spend a few hours.

White sands, sun and snorkel - Booked on line from our cruise ship. Short taxi ride $5 from port. Welcomed to our reserved sun-beds & umbrella and booked onto or snorkel activity. Lovely white sand and sea. Waiter service for drinks or pick up yourself if you require card machine. Lovely beach snacks and cold beer. The snorkel trip was fun. Buoyancy jackets were provided and compulsory as well as the snorkel gear. My wife stayed on board whilst I explored the wrecks & turtles as well as swimming along some fairly large fish. A great way to spend a day on Barbados.

Nice day - Beautiful beach. Great food. Snorkeling was great over the wreck. Saw lots of tropical fish but no sea turtles. Swimming in clear water. Rested in the chairs with an umbrella to protect us from the hot sun.

Great Day! - Booked a day at Harbour Lights on Carlisle Bay and it was a great day. Some of the sunbeds have seen better day but we swapped one over and it was OK. The beds are very close together and there was a smoker next to my husband which was very unpleasant. The beach itself is beautiful, although the surrounding area is not very scenic, the sea is really easy to get into and the water is crystal clear. We chose a day when there was only one cruise ship in but it was still busy, especially in comparison to the quieter beaches further up the west coast. We went on the 10.30 snorkelling tour and it was really good, the crew were excellent, very informative, we saw turtles, tarpins, trumpet fish, stingray, flying gurnards and puffer fish. We had a couple of cocktails on the beach and went up to the restaurant for lunch and it was very good.
