Details About Bridgetown

Destinations » Caribbean » Caribbean - Southern » Bridgetown


The easternmost of the Caribbean islands, Barbados is also one of the most beautiful. Opt for one of the many tours available, such as the popular sojourn to tropical Andromeda Gardens. They are situated on a boulder-strewn hillside high above the sea, where ocean waters dramatically thunder against the giant rocks below. The beaches on the exclusive east coast are superb, and you may choose to head straight for one and spend the entire day relaxing. Of course, there is always shopping in Bridgetown.

Attractions

For the ultimate day of fun-in-the-sun Barbados-style, cruise on the MV Harbour to a spectacular sandy beach. Snorkel on reefs teeming with tropical fish. Enjoy the rope swing, sun tanning or walking on the beach. Cruise back along the scenic coast while dancing the calypso or limbo, or just relax on deck.

Activities

Climb into a comfortable safari-rigged Land Rover® and prepare yourself for adventure. Visit places inaccessible by tour bus, such as Gun Hill Signal Station, and go off-road through Joe's River Tropical Rain Forest. Adventure is in the air and so is the smell of a thousand orchids on this fragrant tour of Orchid World and Fisherpond House. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views and learn about island culture and history on a comprehensive island tour of Barbados.

Adventures

Surround yourself with beautiful coral and exotic marine life as you take a snorkel adventure through the Caribbean waters.

Shopping
