What To Expect
Set sail from the Careenage in Bridgetown aboard an authentic sailing catamaran for a laid-back yet thrilling three-hour adventure. Slip into the crystal-clear waters of Carlisle Bay to snorkel alongside graceful sea turtles, discover colorful coral, and explore historic shipwrecks alive with tropical fish. After your snorkeling experience, sit back and enjoy a relaxing sail across Carlisle Bay before returning to the Bridgetown dock.
Prefer to keep the beach day going? Guests are welcome to stay on Carlisle Bay beach after the tour instead of using the return transport. (This option requires guest to make their own arrangements for return transport.) Carlisle Bay is famous for its very soft white sand and is lined with restaurants and beach bars. Chairs and umbrellas are available for rent (not included).
All snorkeling and safety gear—including life jackets—is provided, along with unlimited drinks, spacious deck areas and shaded seating. To keep the experience intimate and relaxing, we limit each cruise to just 12 guests.

The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from Cool Destinations customers.
Filter by:
Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Destinations snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Destinations tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
