This was my first time and my friend's 4th time. This is not quite a party boat but we lived it up just enough! Full open bar, lunch served on the boat, snacks too, friendly staff that are also easy on the eyes ;) and we did 2 stops to snorkel with the fish. A definite must!!
It's our second time taking the Cool Runnings Catamaran Cruise and again we had Douglas as our captain. I must say it's a must do if you go to Barbados, Douglas and his crew are amazing. We did the luxury cruise and there was only eight couples on the 56 foot catamaran there was lots of room. The lunch was amazing. we stopped and did some snorkelling and then went to another location to swim with the turtles. We highly recommend this excursion.
We went with our four kids, age 6, 4, 3 and 1. We had an amazing experience! We would reccomend and go again. The crew was AWESOME. The price is very reasonable when you compare the experience, food, crew, and activities.
So much fun!! Cure are amazing!! Perfect time! I lost my wedding ring in the deep ocean and the captian and crew dived in and found it. 100% must do !!
Took our 3 and 5 years old with us. Crew are great with kids and help care for the kids in the water so we can do some exploring too. My 5 years old had a blast snorkeling at the shipwreck. Tons of fish there. Saw 1 sea turtles but it was surrounded by the tourists. Wish we have a bit more time swimming in the water. If you have no children, you’ll have even more fun since it’s open bar and the crew will dance with you. Highly recommend it!!!
Had a fantastic time with the crew on board Cool Runnings III on 8th Dec. Plenty of entertainment, very attentive crew. Lots of fun and happy memories. When I'm next in Bridgetown, I'll be doing it all over again.
Did the Cool Runnings Cruise on Dec.10, 2017. Cost was $90US and included snorkel gear, non-stop drinks and onboard meal. Good music, great crew and a clean ship! The snorkeling areas were a little crowded but the shipwreck site was nice. We used the wind and sails for over half the trip which I really enjoyed. Great value and I would recommend!
A delightful and relaxing experience that's always fun - we have gone out on Cool Running many times in the last 20 yearsnot quite every time while we are in Barbados but almost. We have never been disappointed, and we don't even want to try another company. The crew is fantastic and very attentive to all the guests. The boats are not overcrowded like some others, so you feel like your own your own private boat with friends. Overall it's an experience that shouldn't be missed.
Great day. Lovely swimming with turtles and on the wrecks. Great food and cool cocktails. Crew and captain were all very professional and excellent fun. Totally recommend.
What an amazing day. We were picked up on time from our villa and driven to the Catamaran. The crew welcomed us on board and ran through a quick safety presentation. From start to finish the crew were exceptional and made the full experience absolutely delightful. First they took us out to see and swim alongside the turtles. This was amazing. Second stop was to snorkel at a ship wreck.. the shoals of fish were incredible. Then 3rd stop was lunch followed by a chance to swim to a local beach. The food was delicious and we were offered plenty of refreshments. My personal favourite was the rum punch. The crew were amazing, so attentive and I watched them help younger children and passengers who could not swim, making sure they all had a fantastic experience.
I can not recommended this cruise highly enough. . If you do nothing else, make sure you do this. Excellent value for money and amazing fun.
My family and I (7 of us total, including a 2 year old) had the BEST time on the Cool Runnings Catamaran snorkel excursion in Barbados. EVERYTHING was done well, first class customer service, from the moment we met our driver who got us from the cruise ship terminal to the port, till we said our final goodbyes at the end of the day. The entire staff was warm and welcoming. Their communications via e-mail, prior to the trip, were informative and helpful. I WILL do this again. Snorkeling with the turtles, seeing the shipwrecks, sailing to one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. All inclusive lunch was expertly prepared and far exceeded my expectations. Music, food, drinks, sun, a little bit of dancing, a lot of relaxing and a fantastic crew with a fantastic vibe. The boat was beautiful, clean and well tended.
I came here for my birthday and it was an amazing experience. The crew is hilarious and welcoming. The boat itself is fantastic. All the stops were fun, engaging and exciting. The lunch was delicious. Our captain Orlando made sure everyone was comfortable and had an amazing time. I would 100% recommend this to everyone!
If you're looking for an incredible adventure for a day or even an evening Cool Runnings is the way to see Barbados from the water. The staff are all friendly & fun. The food is great, drinks rock & the vibe is all Barbados. Swim with the turtles, explore the shipwreck of take a swim up and walk along the famous platinum coast. Best bang for your buck!
Since the last 8 years I enjoy taking the catamaran tour with them. Always fun and drinks are great and food is good too.
We've been on two trips with Cool Runnings, and I now know it's the best on Barbados. We met some locals (transplanted Canadians) who use these guys about 3 times a year. They said that nobody is as good. That's all you need to know.
an amazing sailing trip. great food and fun staff
I have been on this 4 times in the last 2 years and every time I had a blast!
One of the top catamaran cruises on island, but can get a bit pricey. The less people you have on the cruise the more expensive it gets. Try to find that equal balance for an enjoyable time without breaking he bank.
