This is the day to do very little, very comfortably. You'll board a shared luxury catamaran and cruise the Barbados coast, with shade and an air-conditioned lounge when you want it and deck space when you don't.
The boat anchors in a calm turquoise bay for swimming and snorkeling. Below you there's reef life, tropical fish and a shipwreck to explore.
Back on deck, the onboard chef serves a freshly made lunch and the open bar pours premium drinks while you cruise slowly back to the marina.
Why This Journey
A catamaran is one of the most relaxed ways to see the west of Barbados: the coastline from the water, a swim in clear water over a wreck, and lunch cooked on board, without having to organize any of it.
It's a good fit for couples, friends and anyone who wants a slower day between busier ones, with a Soca Islands Host along.
Good to Know
Duration: about 5 hours, starting and ending in Bridgetown. Lunch is served on board. Bring sunscreen, swimwear, a camera and some cash.

Please keep in mind that our itinerary, activities, and hotels might change. These adjustments could happen with little notice due to factors like availability, weather conditions, seasonal shifts, or other circumstances beyond our control. Rest assured, we always aim to minimise any impact on your experience. Occasionally, we may tweak the itinerary to try out fresh ideas and keep the adventure exciting.
We believe solo travelers shouldn’t have to pay extra to explore the world. That’s why our group trips are designed around shared accommodation and do not include a single supplement. Solo travelers joining our group trips are paired in twin or multi-share rooms with another traveler of the same sex for the duration of the trip.
Some of our Independent trips are structured differently. For these itineraries, solo travelers will need to book at the single occupancy rate.
Tips are not included in the cost of this tour. Remember, tipping is entirely at your discretion and based on what you feel comfortable with.
