| I did this back in 2004 ex.HAL on the Volendam. Extract from review: ===> Day 5: Barbados – Bridgetown – morning excursion to swim with the turtles. Wonderful.
Then a ride on a “banana” and then bounced all over the place on an inflatable “Patriot”. Got a 2nd free ride when the operator said it’s even madder if you are the only one on board. He was right. In the afternoon went into Bridgetown – as it was Sunday all was closed and then it started to rain – warm rain and the only couple of showers we had on the whole cruise. – 5/5

| Hi When on Artemis at Honolulu we took a 40 min trip on a bus to a National park well past Waikki (forgive spelling) Beach, wonderful snorkeling and I swam with a turtle for over half an hour and have the picture to prove it.

| We sawm with Hawksbill turtles on a P&O excrusion in Barbados. We spent the morning on a Catamaran, swam with the turtles had lunch and then spent some time on a beach. I think it was around the Paines bay area. Had a great day and for a P&O excursion quite reasonabally priced. Bob

We did it in Barbados a couple of years ago. We stopped just off the beach near Sandy Lane hotel and went into the sea off the catermaran.

| Have just done it this morning in Barbados Fantastic. Totally take JohntheDog's point about doing it with a small boat though - there were 44 of us on a catamaran, and 2 others of similar size moored at the same time, so it was crowded. Would be amazing to do it in a more solitary way! The tour was really well done though - company called Cool Runnings, and they were great fun. I'm a **** snorkeller but my 8 year old saw everything - turtles, shipwreck, reef plus loads of different fish. I just managed to gasp my way through the turtles!
