Barbados
On the water or around the island
Barbados is small enough to cross in an hour, and the west coast is where most of the day happens. The catamaran trips sail up the sheltered Caribbean side to Holetown and Speightstown, with two or three stops to swim: one over a shipwreck full of fish, one where hawksbill and green turtles come alongside the boat. The sunset sailing does the same coast with the light behind it and dinner on deck.
By road, the grand island tour crosses to the rugged Atlantic side at Bathsheba, where the surf and the mushroom rocks look nothing like the calm west coast, then loops back through the sugar-cane parishes and St John’s Church on its ridge. The shorter island tour with a beach stop keeps things easy and leaves time on the sand.
All Barbados excursions are private, with an English-speaking guide, air-conditioned transport or a boat chartered for your group, and pick-up at the Bridgetown cruise terminal. Choose your Barbados tour below, or send us your ship and hours ashore and we will recommend the right one.
