What will you see on this tour?
Our tour lasts 1 1/2 to 2 hours and makes two stops within the Holetown area. At the first location, we see tarpons, sea turtles, and friendly sting rays. In the second location, we snorkel over beautiful reefs and shipwrecks, where we see thousands of fish.
Respecting Our Marine Life
While some tours may encourage touching marine life, we do not promote touching wildlife or coral reefs. We believe the best encounters are those where we observe and enjoy these animals while respecting their natural environment. Our goal is to create amazing memories while helping to protect Barbados’ marine life and reefs for the future.

Hayden Browne
Bajan Breeze Boat Owner / Host / Photographer
After 8 years aboard the Breezing boat, I'm proud to have launched my own vessel, Bajan Breeze, in March 2026—bringing my years of experience with me while offering a new level of freedom, comfort, and quality to every tour.
After spending thousands of hours in these waters, many of the local sea turtles, stingrays, tarpons, and reef fish have become familiar with my presence. This allows me to position guests safely for incredible close-up photographs while always respecting the animals and their natural environment.
Important Information
A Few Things to Know Before Your Tour
**Reservations:** Advance booking is required for all tours. We operate seven days a week, weather and sea conditions permitting. **Hotel Pickup:** Pickup arrangements and boarding times will be confirmed via WhatsApp at least 24 hours before your scheduled tour. **Meeting Point:** Guests without an arranged hotel pickup will meet at Holetown Beach, St. James, near Surfside and Zaccios Restaurants. **Marine Life:** Our snorkeling experiences may include encounters with sea turtles, stingrays, tarpons, tropical fish, coral reefs, and shipwrecks. Sightings depend on natural conditions and cannot be guaranteed. **Protecting Marine Life:** Please do not touch, chase, or feed marine animals, or touch the coral reefs. **Weather & Sea Conditions:** Tours and pickup arrangements are subject to safe weather and sea conditions.
Private Tours
A private tour allows us to focus entirely on you and your group, giving you more individual attention, more flexibility, and more time to capture the best possible photos and videos of your adventure.
On shared tours, time and photography must be divided fairly between different groups. Going private means we can move at your pace and, if a photo or video doesn't come out quite right, we have more time and opportunities to try again.
We Recommend a Private Tour If:

We are Located on Holetown Beach
Between Surfside & Zaccios Restaurants
We are located on the beach of the Surfside restaurant and Zaccios restaurant, which is located on holetown beach, St. James, Barbados. Parking is available. Your "ONLY" contact will be Hayden Browne (Host/Owner). The name of the boat is "Bajan Breeze". Make your reservation before showing up. Be aware of tricksters on the beach!
Bajan Breeze Boat
Bajan Breeze is a 32-foot, locally built Barbadian excursion boat, one of only five ever made. Powered by twin Yamaha 115 HP engines, the vessel features a spacious upper deck, shaded seating, swimming ladders and an onboard sound system. Although licensed to carry up to 34 persons, we prefer smaller groups for a more personal and relaxed experience.
Unlike the other four boats, Bajan Breeze has no glass-bottom section, as we believe the best way to experience Barbados’ marine life is to get in the water and explore with us! For guests who prefer glass-bottom viewing, we're happy to arrange a trip aboard another vessel.
