Carlisle Bay Marine Park is Barbados' premier snorkelling playground, and this combined beach-and-snorkel shore excursion puts you right in the action. Depart from the Bridgetown cruise pier for a day that blends boat-based snorkelling over historic shipwrecks with leisure time on the bay's calm, turquoise shores.

Spot tropical fish, rays, and — with luck — sea turtles in remarkably clear water just minutes from your ship. A beverage is included, and the moderate activity level suits active families and snorkel enthusiasts who want more than a beach chair.

Because Carlisle Bay sits adjacent to Bridgetown, transfer times are short — giving you maximum time in the water.
