I'm doing the JY Barbados visit in May and wonder if anyone can help with tips?

For example, I know it's a notoriously expensive island, so is it worth my taking my own mask and snorkel with me, instead of hiring them there?

Kind regards

I think this is a new holiday, but there may be other forum users who have been to Barbados and may be able to help you.

They are more intimate (about 12 people) and will send you a link with underwater pictures of you swimming with turtles. Well worth doing a day with them!

Some hotels have snorkelling equipment for sale or rent at reasonable prices but I'm not sure about the one you are staying with. I guess it depends on how serious a snorkeller you are.

All in all I didn't find it that expensive. It depends what you want to spend your money on.

Oh how I wish I was joining you...

Have a great trip!

Barbados food and drink costs are about the same as the UK, as most things are imported. I've only ever been on a self catering holiday in Barbados,

Have a fab time, locals are lovely people.
