From its formation to its history, culture, cuisine & craft every bit of here is worthy of being called a treasure. Where else can you find stories of cannibals, pirates, black widows, presidents & witchcraft? There may be a few but I assure you none like Barbados. There are a handful of places that for some stand out more than others and in this tour we will share them with you. On this tour you will visit Harrisons Cave a limestone cave that is called the 8th wonder of the world. This is easily accessible and toured by tram. From the cave we will make our way through the scenic Scotland District passing by the Morgan Lewis Windmill one of only 2 windmills of this type left standing in the Caribbean. Then we make our way up to Cherry Tree Hill for its spectacular views and onto St Nicholas Abbey. St Nicholas Abbey can be correctly categorized a historical treasure of Barbados. This Sugar Plantation house is a 17th century Jacobean Mansion one of only three in this side of the world. There is also an onsite Rum Distillery and a working steam engine that crushes the cane during harvest season.
Atlantis Submarines is 65 ft. submarine that can dive to a depth of 120 ft. and carries 48 people. This exciting excursion is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most people - divers and non-divers alike. You board a transfer boat that carries you out to the sub - about a 10 minute ride. Then you board the submarine, and dive below the surface of the water where you will explore the colourful coral reefs, bountiful sea life - and maybe even see a sea turtle or manta ray swim by. Your underwater journey last about 40 minutes -then it's back up to the sruface to re-board the launch for the ride back to the dock.
Experience the award winning Atlantis submarine tour which is one of the most highly recommended attractions in Barbados for adults and children (Min height 3 feet.). On the hour we invite you to board our transfer vessel the Ocean Quest, which will take you to the submarine.
Sit back and enjoy the brief boat ride to the Atlantis dive site along the scenic coastline, as the professional crew welcomes you and gives a safety briefing. The vessels tie up alongside each other and you make the easy transfer from the Ocean Quest to the Atlantis Submarine. After securing the hatches and being seated in the air-conditioned comfort of a real submarine, the call is made to: “Dive! Dive! Dive!” You are now fully submerged in the aquamarine Caribbean Sea with large viewports all around, as curious exotic fish peek in at you and sea fans sway.
This unique “must-do” undersea voyage, can take you to a shipwreck and to depths of 150 feet, which in the past has been reserved only for scuba divers. A knowledgeable co-pilot narrates the 40 minute underwater adventure and will help you to identify the amazing sights on the other side of your window. Before returning to the surface, you explore the large expanses of sea floor as if it is your playground.
Create amazing unforgettable memories as you are piloted among an array of colorful coral formations, and tropical marine life. On surfacing, you are transferred back onboard the Ocean Quest for the return to Shallow Draught. A beverage is provided on the return journey.
Atlantis Submarines Night Dive Description
Are you looking for something unique to do after sunset? Experience another side of Barbados’ night life in a very different manner. There is only one other place in the world that Atlantis Submarine Night Tours can be experienced, making it truly unique. After a 15 boat ride out to the dive site and a brief transfer to the submarine, the hatched are secured and the dive begins. Only natural daylight is initially used but as it gets dark during the dive, the lights are switched on, revealing a very different perspective of the coral reef. This allows you to experience the best of both worlds - day and night. Predators and reef fish are a bit fewer in number than during the day but this is a more romantic and awe-inspiring experience than the day tour. The night dive is concluded by a brief cocktail reception where there is an opportunity to meet the submarine crew.
Traditional Friday night Fish Fry in an historic island village with local craft vendors, Caribbean music, dancing and delicious typical Barbadian cuisine. At an Oistins Fish Fry in Barbados, you can choose from a variety of bajan seasoned fish and have it fried or grilled as you take in the local entertainment and music. There’s also lots of local rum and beer to be enjoyed at the bars while you dance the night away.
Most ships arrive in Barbados in the early morning, and once passengers disembark they have hours before their homeward bound flights depart. Why not spend the day relaxing in the sun before heading home to that chilly weather?
Passengers are picked up from the Port and transferred to the Divi Southwinds Beach Resort. A refreshing Welcome Juice Drink is served on arrival - and guests are acquainted with this lovely resort. The resort offers a large Olympic size swimming pool, a beautiful long white sandy beach and a wonderful seaside restaurant. Within easy walking distance of the hotel there are numerous shops and colourful local vendors.
We are very lucky in Barbados in that deep water is within a mile of the beach. This allows us to be fishing just ten minutes after leaving the dock. We typically troll along the fifty fathom ledge and here we catch Wahoo, Sailfish, Tuna, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Barracuda and a few other species.
We fish off the south-east and the west coast usually. The west coast is sheltered from the prevailing east trade winds and so it’s very calm and perfect for those with poor sea legs. We do venture further offshore when in search of Marlin, although it’s possible to catch them on the fifty fathom line occasionally.
Full day round the island tour with stops at major highlights. The best way to get a good overview of the entire island. This is a coastal tour that takes you through historic Bridgetown onto the affluent west coast, through Holetown and onto Speightstown making a brief stop, continuing to North Point. Travel through the northern countryside to Cherry Tree Hill and onto the East Coast making a picture stop at Bathsheba. From there to the St. John’s Church onward to the Sunbury Great House, where you would do the house tour an afterwards enjoy a sumptuous buffet lunch.

You’ll probably be in no hurry to move from your sunbed, but there’s more to see beyond the beach. This day out lets you follow your senses around the isle, from west to east. You’ll start with a trip to family-run Earthworks Pottery, where you can watch as they make and decorate pots, plates and mugs, and order your own custom-made accessories. You’ll stop in Speightstown for a quick photo of the tropical-coloured houses, before touring one of the three Jacobean mansions left in the Western Hemisphere, St Nicholas Abbey. Heading to the coast, you can snap views from 850 feet above at Cherry Tree Hill, and breathe in the ocean air at boulder-studded Bathsheba beach. And, after a whistle-stop morning of sights and sounds, there’s time for a Bajan lunch at antique-filled Sunbury Plantation House.
