Highlights

Harrison’s Cave Eco-Adventure Park - Start your Cave & Monkey Zipline Experience with our Discover Barbados short film, offering a virtual tour of the island. Next, delve deep underground on our tram tour, exploring a centuries-old subterranean world with scenic streams, waterfalls, and stunning stalactite and stalagmite formations. After seeing Barbados from below, it’s time to enjoy the views from above with our thrilling Monkey Zipline, an adrenaline-pumping adventure that takes you soaring just 100 feet above the ground. Afterward, take a relaxing stroll along our nature trail, reconnect with nature, and learn about local flora and fauna while capturing memories at our photospots. Don’t miss our bird aviary, where you can meet various bird species.
Animal Flower Cave - Located at the northernmost point of Barbados in St. Lucy, the Animal Flower Cave gets its name from the sea anemones found in its pools, some of which are deep enough for swimming. The cave features several openings with spectacular sea views and walls colored green and brown by copper and iron oxidation. Look for formations resembling a lizard, turtle, and hand as you explore. Visit the clifftop bar and restaurant for the best lemonade in Barbados, along with other drinks and local dishes, including a variety of cutters. The area also features a large children’s playpark and stalls selling local jewelry, art, and crafts. The surrounding cliffs offer stunning views of the northern coast, where Atlantic waves crash dramatically.
Barbados Wildlife Reserve - This is the animal kingdom of Barbados, where you can walk freely among animals feeding and playing in their natural habitat. Spot agouti, armadillo, Brocket deer, pelicans, and caimans. Monkeys are most active during afternoon feeding time. Reptiles include snakes, iguanas, turtles, and tortoises. Parrots, flamingos, and peacocks add bright splashes of color. Only the more dangerous animals, like pythons, are kept enclosed. Top Tip: Arrive by 2pm to see the monkeys, especially the babies, being fed!
St. Nicholas Abbey - Built in 1658, this Jacobean Great House is one of only three remaining in the Western Hemisphere. The property has been tastefully restored as a sustainable heritage attraction and working plantation, producing its own unique single cask rums, which have received international acclaim. The tour includes the Great House, gardens, a small museum, factory, distillery, a must-see short film from circa 1930, and rum tasting. For enthusiasts, the private Rum Experience Tour is available on select days with owner Larry Warren. The plantation also features an authentic Victorian steam railway.
Atlantis Submarines Barbados - Experience daylight and nighttime dives to explore undersea reefs and marine life from a family-friendly submarine.
Off Road Fury Barbados - Off Road Fury Barbados offers the ultimate off-road go-kart experience. Our guided off-roading adventure takes you through miles of trails across the countryside of Barbados, providing breathtaking views and scenery. Enjoy our fun and slick dune buggies, each seating two people, as you navigate the trails.
Bushy Park Barbados - Go-kart racing, or karting, is a motorsport discipline using open-wheel, four-wheeled vehicles known as go-karts or shifter karts. They are usually raced on scaled-down circuits, though some professional kart races are held on full-size motorsport circuits.
Sunbury Plantation House - Built around 1660 by Matthew Chapman, an Irish/English planter and one of the island’s first settlers, Sunbury Plantation House is over 300 years old and rich in history. It features mahogany antiques, old prints, antique porcelain dolls, and a unique collection of horse-drawn carriages. The house has undergone several name changes, from Chapman’s Plantation to Branker’s Plantation, then Brothers Plantation, and finally Sunbury Plantation, named after the Barrow brothers’ home in Britain. It is the only great house in Barbados with all rooms available for viewing.
Barbados Museum & Historical Society - A museum with galleries dedicated to Barbados’ social and military history, decorative arts, and more.
George Washington House - George Washington House in Barbados is a historic site where the future first U.S. President George Washington is believed to have stayed in 1751. At 19 years old, he traveled with his half-brother Lawrence Washington, who was suffering from tuberculosis. George Washington contracted smallpox during his stay and was nursed back to health at the house. Barbados is the only country outside the present United States that George Washington ever visited.
Welchman Hall Gully - Located in St. Thomas, Welchman Hall Gully is a three-quarter-mile-long gully home to various tropical plants and trees, including nutmeg, bamboo, clove, and palms. The gully, formed by collapsed cave roofs, is geologically connected to the adjacent Harrison’s Cave. Explore the self-guided walk along a shaded path, with options to step off the pathway to see bamboo groves, cave formations, and playful monkeys. The gully offers a glimpse into how the first British settlers saw the island.
Bathsheba Beach - Legend has it that Bathsheba, wife of King David, bathed in milk to keep her skin beautiful and soft. The surf-covered white waters of Bathsheba, Barbados, rich in minerals and life, are said to resemble Bathsheba’s bath in both appearance and health benefits. The beach features wide white sand beaches along a dramatic coastline with striking rock formations and crashing Atlantic waves. The village of Bathsheba is home to a small fishing community, guest houses, local rum shops, and restaurants.
Gun Hill Signal Station - Located in St. George, Gun Hill Signal Station is the largest and most important military outpost in Barbados, with military associations dating back to at least 1697. The site features tropical gardens, a stone lion, and a path to a hilltop signal tower offering panoramic island views.
Earthworks Pottery - Earthworks Pottery in Barbados is a modern pottery studio producing exceptional pieces of art made from earth and clay. You can also take pottery-making and decorating classes.
Hunte’s Gardens - Known as one of the top garden spots on the island, Hunte’s Gardens features over 84 species and varieties of birds, flowers, and plants, such as the purple lily, heliconia, and orchids. While much of the flora can be found throughout Barbados, there are also species rarely seen in the West Indies.
St. James Parish Church - St. James Parish Church is one of the four oldest surviving churches in Barbados, located near the site of the island’s first settlement in Holetown. Established in 1628, the original wooden church was replaced by a coral-stone building 60 years later, much of which remains today. Notable features include mural tablets, stained glass windows, and a bell inscribed with “God bless King William, 1696,” which predates the American Liberty Bell by 56 years. The burial ground contains some of the island’s oldest graves.
St. John’s Parish Church - One of Barbados’ oldest church sites, this classic Gothic-style church offers panoramic views of the eastern beaches from its cemetery. The interior features impressive woodwork, including an elaborate pulpit and sweeping staircases. The cemetery contains grand headstones and crypts of notable Bajans.
Shark Hole - Shark Hole is a hidden gem in Barbados, a secluded beach with picturesque rock formations, a protective coral reef, and beautiful blue water. The tiny beach is nestled between cliffs and sheltered by coral and rocks, making it a unique and safe swimming spot despite the rough waters in the area.
Bottom Bay - Bottom Bay is a remote cove with a picturesque beach, bordered by jagged cliffs. It offers a ‘desert island’ atmosphere with coconut palms, soaring cliffs, intriguing caves, and translucent turquoise waves. The wide stretches of powder-soft golden white sand make it a tropical paradise.
Foursquare Rum Distillery - Located on 8 acres of a former sugar plantation in southern Barbados, Foursquare Rum Distillery and Heritage Park is a working rum factory known for its collection of rums, including Doorly’s, Old Brigand, and E.S.A. Field. The distillery won Rum Distillery of the Year in 2016 at the IWSC in London. Guided tours include a small museum and a bar for tastings.
Mount Gay Visitor Centre - Discover the secrets behind Barbados’ finest and most celebrated golden spirit, the 300-year-old Mount Gay Rum. Guided tours of the rum-making distillery include a small museum and a bar for tastings.
Speightstown - Also known as Little Bristol, Speightstown is the second-largest city center in Barbados, located 12 miles north of Bridgetown in St. Peter. Named after William Speight, a member of Barbados’ first Assembly, the city offers a mural to explore.
Carlisle Bay - Carlisle Bay is a small natural harbor in southwest Barbados, home to the capital city of Bridgetown. The bay has been turned into a marine park, popular for scuba diving, with relics like anchors and cannonballs on the ocean floor.
Cherry Tree Hill - At approximately 850 feet above sea level, Cherry Tree Hill offers excellent views of the Scotland District in St. Andrew. The area was once lined with cherry trees, now replaced by mahogany trees introduced after the Treaty of Paris in 1763. As you descend the hill, the mahogany trees give way to sugar cane fields.
Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill - One of the largest and only complete sugar windmills surviving in the Caribbean, Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill features intact wind-driven machinery from the 18th and 19th centuries. The mill includes an exhibit of the equipment used to produce sugar when the industry relied on wind power. The rubble walls are made of boulders held together with a mixture of egg-white and coral dust, as cement was not available when the plantation house was built.
Rihanna Drive Monument - The Rihanna Drive Monument in St. Michael pays tribute to the world-famous Barbadian singer and global icon, Rihanna. It showcases her remarkable achievements and contributions to music and culture, making it a symbol of pride for Barbados and a must-visit for fans.
Kensington Oval - Located in Bridgetown, Kensington Oval is the premier sporting facility in Barbados, primarily used for cricket. It has hosted many important cricket games between local, regional, and international teams over its 120-year history.
Farley Hill National Park - Set in the grounds of the once regal Farley Hill house, this national park offers breathtaking scenery, a mansion in ruins, and a forest of mahogany trees. It is an ideal spot for picnics, nature walks, and weddings, with stunning views of the rugged Atlantic coast.
Bridgetown - Bridgetown offers a variety of shopping experiences, including duty-free shops, department stores, malls, smaller shops, and street vendors.
Independence Square - Located on the waterfront in Bridgetown, Independence Square is a lovely spot to relax and take in the sights. Enjoy views of historic Bridgetown, including the Parliament Buildings and National Heroes Square. Vendors offer local crafts and refreshments on the bridge at the western end of the square.
Golden Square Freedom Park - The Builders of Barbados Wall in Golden Square Freedom Park, Bridgetown, tells the story of those who have built Barbados over the past 600 years. The wall features engraved names of the nation’s unsung heroes, with some bricks left blank to signify those whose names were not found.
The Boatyard Club - The Boatyard offers unbeatable beach facilities on a natural white sandy beach with calm azure water. The beach package at Adventure Beach includes a beach chair, shared umbrella, ocean trampoline, iceberg climb and slide, dive platform, rope swing, freshwater showers, restrooms, pool table, wifi, darts board, beachside restaurant, bar, and lively music. Ask about the turtle and snorkel tour available on select days.

Nidhe Israel Synagogue and Museum - Nidhe Israel Synagogue, developed by Sephardic Jewish settlers from Recife, Brazil around 1628, is one of the oldest synagogues in the Western Hemisphere. The building was rebuilt in 1833 after being damaged in the 1831 hurricane. The synagogue features separate worship areas for men and women and has a museum detailing its history.
Roger’s Scuba Shack - The Scuba Shack is the perfect place for scuba diving or snorkeling with turtles, offering underwater exploration in Barbados.
Holetown - Holetown was the site of the first British landing in Barbados in 1625 and the first settlement two years later. The Holetown Monument commemorates the 1625 landing. Originally called Jamestown, the area was named Holetown because the river reminded English seamen of the Limehouse Hole on the River Thames.
