Tours & Activities in Barbados

Barbados is the easternmost Caribbean island and has never been hit by a major hurricane in recorded history, making it one of the safest islands in the Atlantic basin.

The island was named by Portuguese explorers after the bearded fig trees that once covered it—'Los Barbados' meaning 'the bearded ones'.

Barbados was a major hub of the Atlantic sugar trade from the 1600s onwards and has the world's second-oldest parliament still in continuous operation, established in 1639.

Flying fish is the national dish and a cultural staple; the island hosts an annual National Fish Fest celebrating this iconic seafood.

Bridgetown's Garrison Historic Area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring 18th-century British colonial military architecture and one of the oldest continuous military sites in the Western Hemisphere.

The island is home to Harrison's Cave, a underground river system with a waterfall dropping 90 feet into a natural pool, carved through crystalline limestone.
