Shiver Me Timbers

Glistening turquoise waters surrounded by unspoiled beaches welcome you to Barbados. Stroll through the Gregorian-style towns with plantation houses, chattels, and garrisons and easily reminisce about days past. Stop into the local eateries for flying fish and cou cou, the national dish, and taste your way around the island's classic Creole courses — of course, paired with authentic Caribbean rum. 

Holy Mackerel

A tantalizing tropical oasis, the base of Barbados is made from thousands of years of accumulated limestone coral reefs. Dive beneath the surface and experience it all close up with a scuba diving or snorkeling tour, guiding you through colorful colonies of exotic plant and fish species. Dip down further and submerge yourself with nautical nostalgia amongst the legendary shipwrecks. 

Mainland Merriment

Make room for more mainland merriment. Check out the exotic animal species, like the green monkeys at the wildlife reserve, visit Hunte's Garden to walk through tropical floral paradise, and golf on some of the lushest, green fairways overlooking spectacular ocean views. After a day of excursions, party with the lively locals and join the island fun at the clubs and bars on the island’s strip. 

The same appeal that brought pirates of days past to her splendid shores is still alive today, come and see what all the fantastic fuss is all about in Barbados.
