You’re Never at a Loss for Ways to Spend Your Time – or for Reasons to Return.
In addition to being a haven of R&R, Barbados is a bastion of recreational possibilities. Revel in beaches that beckon with soft sands, waves and winds, hit a historic hiking trail, explore with a tour, unwind at a local spa or shop till you drop at any number of retail destinations island-wide.
Watersports reign supreme on Barbados’ scenic coasts, offering unparalleled conditions – including underwater visibility of 70 to 80 feet and water temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees. Enjoy scuba and snorkeling that afford a treasure trove of marine life and underwater sights, or set sail aboard a chartered boat.
Plenty of Fun to Be Had – All Day and All Night
Vivacious entertainment is provided year round in the form of traditional festivals. Vividly hued costumes and energetic Caribbean rhythms are accompanied by swaying hips and stomping feet. Comprised of many different African, British, American and Amerindian elements, the festivals of Barbados are an exciting display of the living culture of the Bajan people.
After you’ve had your fill of daytime fun, it’s time to check out an “after dark” scene as vibrant and diverse as the island itself – with entertainment that includes beach pubs, jazz clubs, reggae clubs, discos, nightclubs, floorshows, Latin parties, karaoke bars, cinemas, live theatre and even the opera!
