When the cruise ship docked on april 20, there was no Shasa guide at the terminal. Went to security who sent me to another place and a very nice man called the operator who told me five minutes later that his motor broke and he could not take us out. He did arrange for a "friend" to take us on... More

Dear Madam First I would like to address your review on Trip Advisor regarding your tour on the 20th. We could not have emailed or phoned in advance as we were trying our utmost best to fix the engine troubles up until tour time, but we required a part to fix it. So istead of leaving you guys stranded without... More

Went on the tour last week during our cruise. Booked direct! Well worth it! Short drive from the ship to the catamaran. We were ahead of all the big cats so we were able to see the turtles with just a handful of others which was awesome. Then we sailed over to another area to snorkel with the shipwrecks. It... More

Went on the Turtle Snorkel last week...total of 13 people on board the catamaran. What a great morning. Short drive to a pier to get ahead of the crowds, that would be coming to the same area to snorkel with turtles, allowed us to have limited crowds at the site. Only 2 other small boats were in the area while... More

We pre-booked with Shasa Catamaran Cruises for 3-hour tour via emails prior to arriving in Barbados on our cruise ship. Tess kindly provided us with detailed information on when and where to wait for our taxi. I was a bit nervous when our taxi was 10 minutes late, thinking that perhaps we had been forgotten, but eventually we were taken... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our sail and snorkel experience aboard Shasa this past March. It was one of the high points of our two very active weeks in Barbados . We were much impressed with the friendly and professional wayTess and Jason O'Neal operate their business, from our first emailed inquiry, to the free taxi service to and from our South... More

My wife and I cruised with Shasa on March 28. We liked the fact that it was a small group of only ten people. Everyone was friendly and the snorkeling was great. Jason and his staff did an excellent job. More

My husband booked the 3-hour tour online for our RCCL cruise stop in Barbados. Unfortunately for us, the weather was cloudy and rainy. But besides the lack of sun, we had a great time. We met a representative right at the port with no problem. We waited 10-15 minutes for some people who never showed up, then drove over to... More

Great Rum Punch, Very good snorkeling. We first went snorkeling to a shipwreck, then swim with the turtles. Nice tour of the island and beaches. Boat is in great condition and the Captain is a great host. I book my trip from Puerto Rico thru email. No hassles 100% satisfied! More

My husband, sister, brother-in-law and I took the 3 hour Shasa catamaran cruise on February 15th, 2012. Barbados was a stop on our Southern Caribbean cruise. I contacted Shasa via email and they sent me a form to fill out and send back. They took my credit card information, but that was only to hold the reservation, and then we... More

Fantastic choice! Shasa is a small catamaran - holds only 12. At first the big cats look cooler, but once we saw the 50 people on each, we were really happy we went with Shasa. He gets you moving as soon as you arrive (jump on the boat from the beach-not hard, they collect shoes when you arrive in the... More
