Highlights
- Dreadhop Brewing - In Barbados, we love craft beer and also great places to drink craft beer which is why at Dreadhop, they built a rustic, industrial style tap room with plenty of space to enjoy the beers they work so hard to create. The DreadHop Brewing tap room is located right inside the brewery. Enjoy the sweet aroma of freshly brewed wort, hops and malt while you sip the freshest beer in Barbados.
- Oistin’s Friday Night Fish Fry - Oistins is also widely popular as a result of the Oistins Fish Festival. An annual, week-long held in April each year, dedicated to celebrating the culture of the fishing village, the talents of the fisherfolk and their impact on Barbadian culture. This festival is a great opportunity to partake in some of the island’s best Bajan cuisine as well as support the local vendors, farmers and artisans.
There are many vendors to choose from and vendors offer a variety of fish steaks of many kinds, ( mahi-mahi, tuna, snapper, barracuda, and sometimes lobster), along with complimentary sides and salads.
Oistins is perfect for the entire family or groups of friends! Head out to have an affordable, delicious meal while enjoying the local ambience of the market. Conversely, if you prefer a more quiet experience, visit Bay Gardens on weekdays when there is less foot traffic. In Oistins, there’s something for everyone.
- St. Lawrence Gap - The laughter and chatter of party-goers fill the air as you stroll through deciding, (or after you have decided), which spot to visit. Not only is The Gap nightlife central, but with the wide variety of hotels available, you can stay and play in the same vicinity.

Our field archery adventure offers a unique opportunity to test your aim and immerse yourself in the beauty of the outdoors. With expert guidance, you’ll learn the proper techniques and safety protocols to ensure a fun and rewarding experience.

Experience the Night Life - Great trip with Jamar. He knew all the spots and we felt at ease for this experience. One of the highlights of our trip. And by far the best food we ate the entire trip. Very low key and locals vibe.

Best way to visit Oistins on a Friday! - Jamar was an excellent host! Very personable and friendly. I truly don’t know how I would’ve navigated around Oistins without him! I will say, I didn’t realize Oistins is actually a town, I thought it was a restaurant lol. There are at least 10 different places to eat and a huge stage where they put on a fun show. There are endless people and it would’ve felt impossible to find a place to sit and eat dinner had it not been for Jamar knowing people there! The food was amazing, pretty sure we ate at Mo’s. The macaroni pie is a dream😍
The Dreadhop Brewery before, and live music at Blakeys after were nice, but we were there only long enough for a quick drink. I guess I wasn’t sure how much time we had anywhere we were going, and would’ve probably been a lot more fun with a group of friends rather than just my husband and I. All in all, definitely worth it! I think if I had a choice, I would’ve stayed at Oistins for drinks, but appreciated getting to see St. Lawrence Gap and the other stops!
Ps. Sorry to keep ya sweatin’ Jamar, I know it’s been a couple of weeks since I told you I’d leave a review, but I don’t break my promises! Thanks for a great time😁

Excellent and highly recommend evening. - Jamar showed us a great time on our private tour. Brewery was cool, Oistins had entertainment, great food and excellent vibe. St Lawrence gap was total different atmosphere, very charming. The live music and dancing was a great way to finish off the night. Thanks Jamar!

Oh, what a night! - So much fun! Went to cool parts of the island we may not have gotten to, especially in one night. Started at a craft brewery, real local vibe. Then to Oistins for a fish fry and a major party was happening. Next was a stop at St. Lawrence gap checking out the night life........and more.
Jamar was great; on the way to our first stop he was singing along to a song and advised us, in no uncertain terms, by the end of the night we'd be singing along as well. Didn't happen, we were singing along after the first stop.
Had a blast!!!

Get outta the hotel - Dread Hop was awesome! Local spot with a local vibe. Oistens has always been on my list of places to go, especially on a Friday night. They have plenty of food, drinks, and dancing. St Lawrence Gap is good for picking up some local gifts but also pretty much a party in the evenings. Definitely a tour worth taking if you want to get out and see the local spots!
