Absolutely! Snorkelling in Barbados is a must-do experience, especially if you want to get up close with the island’s most famous marine residents – sea turtles.

What Types of Turtles Can You See?

1. Hawksbill Turtles – These stunning turtles are a common sight in Barbados. They have distinctive patterned shells and are often seen gliding gracefully through the water.

2. Green Sea Turtles – Larger than hawksbills, these gentle giants can often be found feeding near coral reefs or around shipwrecks.

3. Leatherback Turtles – Though rarer, leatherback turtles, the largest sea turtle species, occasionally make an appearance in Barbadian waters.

Many snorkelling tours depart from Carlisle Bay, where you can swim alongside these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. With warm waters, excellent visibility, and abundant marine life, snorkelling in Barbados is an experience worth every penny!
