Harrissons cave picture 4
Here’s a sample article from the pages of Caribbean Dreams Magazine. The list below represents some of our top picks for Barbados.

Harrisons Cave 

Harrisons Cave is this month’s sightseeing Top Pick. If you ever happen to ask about places that you HAVE to see on island, Harrison’s cave is sure to be in the top three responses. Located in the parish of St. Thomas, Harrison’s Cave is one of the oldest and most amazing natural treasures that the island has to offer.

Travel deep beneath the earth and explore the wonders of nature, immerse yourself in the adventure of Barbados’ early explorers. Jagged stalactites and stalagmites adorn the cavern and rushing streams and natural delicate flowstone formations add to the natural wonders of the cave.

Excellent for Couples, Groups, Mature, Kids, Locals, Tourists, Everyone.

Adventure Beach aka Boatyard Beach

IMG 1396Picture yourself lounging on a white sandy beach that stretches as far as the eye can see in both directions. Yup! Just a typical sight in Barbados… But! Adventure Beach, as the name implies, offers so much more. Come swim, snorkel, rope swing from the pier, play beach sports, use the kayaks or the ocean trampoline, rent jet skis for a race up the coast or explore the ocean depths from the safety of a glass bottom boat. All great options for a beach adventure. But Wait! Did we mention the facilities? WIFI, Changing rooms, bathrooms, showers and when you get hungry the Boatyard Beach Club has food, drinks, specials and a party to be had.  

Excellent for Couples, Groups, Mature, Kids, Locals, Tourists, Everyone.

Oistins – Open Air, Open Atmosphere, Open Possibilities

Another name that will often be heard when inquiring about Barbados is that of the famed Oistins Fish Market. Oistins, in the parish of Christ Church, is a major fishing community in Barbados with a modern fishing market. Here on any given Weekend locals and tourists alike converge here, at what may very well be the biggest and most festive fish fry in the Lesser Antilles. Good Food, Good Company, Live entertainment and No Cover Charge… It’s no wonder that it’s an island favorite. Of course, fish is not the only item on the menu, have a hearty dinner, an old fashioned Bajan meal, a seafood platter or line up for some succulent fish and chips, but don’t expect to pay an arm and a leg the portions are generous and the prices are definitely affordable.

Excellent for Couples, Groups, Mature, Kids, Locals, Tourists, Everyone.
