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.

This afternoon trip takes you deeper underground, as you explore one of the Seven Wonders of Barbados. You’ll travel by solar-powered trams through Harrison’s Cave, a gigantic limestone underworld. You won’t miss out on the sights, as orange mood-lighting illuminates the labyrinth of spiky stalactites and stalagmites, cascading water, sparkling streams and deep pools. You’ll glide through the cave for a mile, stopping occasionally for the obligatory photo. And, you can get up close to the cave’s interior, as you explore a section on foot. You’ll wave goodbye to the narrow passages as you reach the highlight of the tour, the Great Hall. It’s as impressive as it sounds – a 100-feet-high chamber, complete with tumbling waterfall. Back above ground, keep an eye out for monkeys as they’re often spotted playing in the trees outside the cave.
You’ll get into the chilled-out vibes in no time after swimming with the Caribbean’s laidback giants –hawksbill and leatherback turtles. Your transport for the day will be a sleek catamaran, with a fully-stocked open bar for post-snorkelling refreshments. After cruising out to an inshore reef, you’ll drop anchor and it’ll be time to don your mask and snorkel. You can jump in and swim eyeball to eyeball with 100lb turtles – the biggest in the turtle family. Snorkel in the calm, clear waters with the majestic creatures gliding around you, and take in the colourful coral below. Later, they’ll be some time to stretch out on deck and soak in the warm sunshine. And, you’ll be treated to lunch as you sail.
Visit Andromeda Gardens for a walk through, exploring as you go along the well labelled paths. Bathsheba is up next for a quick picture stop. A drive along the scenic East Coast will bring you to the Barbados Wildlife Reserve.
Then you will enjoy Bathsheba Park, a small beachfront park located in the seaside town of Bathsheba on the east coast of Barbados.

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.

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.
