The Experience
What your day looks like
Our Turtle and Shipwreck Cruise is 1 hour and 30 minutes long. The cruise departs from Carlisle Bay. Carlisle Bay a crescent-shaped bay is located on the South West Coast of the island and is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Under the surface of the sea, Carlisle Bay comes alive with vibrant tropical fish in abundance, sea horses, sea turtles, octopuses, rays, and much more! This unique array of marine life is due in part to the six different shipwrecks For those seeking an adventure, you will not be disappointed with the sight of these sunken treasures. The boat cruise is 1 hour and 30 minutes, and it includes snorkeling at 1 shipwreck and visiting the feeding area where swim with the turtles. There is no guarantee on the number of turtles you will see, on some days it may be 11 on some it may just be one. On very rare occasions turtles are not seen at all.

We enjoyed our time with our guide Ron & his team. It was a great excursion, although it was rather cloudy & rainy we still got to see the turtles, the shipwrecks & fish, although not as vibrantly as they would have been if sunny. The boat was very easy to get on & off of, which is not always the case. I would say it would have been more enjoyable if there were less people or if they could offer options for more experienced swimmers/snorkelers & stop allowing people to bring their own flippers & kick everyone around them.

Although we didn't see any leatherback turtles during our snorkeling, the crew did a great job at guiding the excursion and taking entertaining us. Snorkeling over the shipwreck was fabulous -- so much color from all the fish and we also 5 sting rays. My kids (12-16 yr olds) truly enjoyed it also.
