Barbados
All-inclusive
Classy and chic, Barbados is famed for its soft white-sand beaches, perfect climate and distinct personality. The arts scene is vibrant here, shopping amongst the best in the Caribbean and visitors are warmly welcomed at local events from cricket matches to live concerts.
As the “Culinary Capital of the Caribbean”, Barbados brings together the influences of African, Caribbean, West Indian and European delights to create a unique culinary experience. Of course fish is a mainstay, including Flying Fish—a national symbol of Barbados, but your options range from elegant sophistication to funky street food.
Sightseeing on the island is a pleasure with many historic UNESCO World Heritage sites, splendid architecture and rich cultural attractions. But it is the friendliness of the people that will leave a lasting impression.

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.

We begin our journey by tram through the spectacular Harrison’s Cave, where dramatic stalactites, stalagmites, streams, and waterfalls reveal nature’s artistry.

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.
