We had a great time out with Ahmed. Had 2 boys one a teenager. Company was excellent, information was top class. Ahmed interacted with the children and included them by asking questions and addressing them. Even the youngest was engaged all the time spotting landmarks and map reading which a great sign of the success of the your and at end the day he was reeling off historic facts. Awesome.!!! Tye older child who actually lives on the island also found it really interesting because Ahmed tailored the your and info so thing he hasn't seen or know about were conveyed. That aside we the adults felt included and that is a testament to a hood your because its my tired visit to Barbados and despite covid-19 Ahmed showed us places I have not seen in previous 2 visits. A great ambassador for Barbados. Than you Ahmed. 100% recommend this tour. Ask Ahmed best local places to eat near where you are staying and if you like shopping ask he will point them out to you or even introduce you. Love it love it ???? ♥ (Alex, Anthony, Esi and Kɛkɛli).

We took this tour to get a good idea of the whole island of Barbados. We did! We enjoyed the tour, there were 8 of us in a minibus. Cindy was a great tour guide, giving current and historical information. We enjoyed the stops, varied scenery and the Plantation House. A great scenic tour, which was what we wanted.

The Bar is always open and a light snack is served.

Inclusions: Transportation to and from the boat, A light snack of banana bread, Open Bar, including the famous Rum Punch!, Snorkel Equipment

Exclusions: Lunch

We go on this tour every time we visit Barbados and we are never disappointed. From the moment you get on the boat the crew are there to offer you drinks and it never stops, the camaraderie between crew and guests is great and the snorkelling stops are impressive. The crew are sensitive to guests who can't swim very well, and they also make sure that everyone gets to see the turtles and the best of the marine life. The food is everything you'd expect from a typical Bajan lunch, there's something for everyone and of course Mac Pie! When the wind is up and you're sailing along the Barbados coast line there's no better place to be. We can't wait to go again, next time we visit.

This place is imaginative, playful, calming, and thoroughly Caribbean. My children and I visited yesterday and spent a most pleasant early afternoon wandering around this magical space. I even managed to convince them to sit still for a while in a lovely corner of the garden and listen to the soothing sounds of nature (and some meditative music, which was nice). The diversity and health of the plants is impressive, as is the generosity of the owner/gardener Anthony Hunte. We sat and had a socially distanced chat with him, as he was happy to speak with all the visitors who came in for a visit. We will be back soon! We signed in at the front, used hand sanitiser at the beginning and were reminded to do so at the end after touching the handrails.

Mike really knows his island well and was a wealth of knowledge! He was very friendly and adaptable (we had our 8month old son on tour with us we needed regular snack, toilet, crawl around stops.) The animal flower cave is a must see, the views on the east coast are amazing. During the tour mike stopped and got us various fruits that we would never have known what to do with without him. They were delicious even though they looked a little odd! What we loved most was that mike gave us choices over what we’d prefer to do in our timescale and it didn’t feel rushed in any way. We will definitely return!!

We had a great day out on Good Times. There were 11 of us including children aged 7 up. Chad, our captains and Theo and Ossian our crew were very welcoming and made the day a success, plying us with food and drinks and were all really knowledgable about Barbados and the marine life/coastline we were surrounded by. A highlight was swimming with turtles and snorkelling over a coral reef and shipwreck. The boat is simple but comfortable and spacious. You need to bring your own towels.
