Tour Highlights
- Island Tour: This tour, which takes us all around the island, begins with a visit to Oistins village—once a major seaport and now home to one of the world’s best open-air parties. Then we visit the historic capital, Bridgetown, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, where we see the 19th-century Parliament Buildings and a synagogue (with attached museum) built in 1654 (one of the oldest synagogues in the Western Hemisphere). On the west coast we’ll stop in Holetown— the landing site of the first British settlers in 1627. On the rugged east coast we’ll see the roaring waves pounding the shore, carving out natural pools in the coral. Lunch is included at a scenic spot on the east coast.
- Gardens & Abbey Tour: We first visit the important historical site of St. Nicholas Abbey Great House and Distillery. Built almost 350 years ago, this sugar plantation is well maintained and has retained its architectural beauty. The distillery here produces award-winning rums, and our local guide will educate us on the history and rum making process at the Abbey. We will take a ride on a steam locomotive through the plantation fields and mahogany woods, ending with a breathtaking view from Cherry Tree Hill of the rugged east coast and Scotland District. Our last stop will be at the Flower Forest Botanical Gardens, 53 acres of tropical trees and flowering plants which bloom year-round.
- Nature Uncovered: Caves & Wetlands Experience the natural contrasts of Barbados on this captivating excursion from underground marvels to serene wetlands. We begin our journey by tram through the spectacular Harrison’s Cave, where dramatic stalactites, stalagmites, streams, and waterfalls reveal nature’s artistry. Then, we unwind at the peaceful Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary, strolling boardwalks amid mangroves while spotting native and migratory wildlife. Blending discovery, scenery, and relaxation, this tour showcases Barbados’ diverse beauty in one unforgettable experience.
- Catamaran Cruise: We enjoy a scenic catamaran cruise along the stunning coast of Barbados. There will be several stops for a chance to swim in a tranquil secluded bay, snorkel at a sunken shipwreck and an opportunity to see the incredible sea turtles that inhabit these waters! An on-board lunch of local specialties and drinks is included.
- From Market to Marsh: A Bajan Experience Discover the authentic rhythms of Barbados on this enriching excursion that pairs vibrant local culture with tranquil natural beauty. We begin at the lively Brighton Farmers Market, where colourful stalls overflow with fresh produce, spices, crafts, and traditional Bajan treats. Then, we enjoy a scenic island drive before arriving at the peaceful Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary, a lush wetland haven home to native birds, turtles, and mangroves. Blending community charm with serene landscapes, this experience offers a perfect snapshot of Barbados beyond the beach.
- Afternoon Tea & Timeless Views: Escape into the serene countryside of Barbados on this elegant and leisurely experience. We will enjoy a scenic inland drive through rolling cane fields before arriving at the beautifully preserved Sunbury plantation House, where antique filled rooms and a refined afternoon tea evoke the island’s colonial charm. Continue to the hilltop St. John’s Parish Church for sweeping Atlantic views, then conclude at the stately Codrington College, overlooking its tranquil lily pond. A graceful blend of heritage, scenery, and relaxation.
