When you’re not relaxing on Barbados’ pinkish-white, sugar-soft beaches, there’s plenty to keep you entertained. Take an electric tram ride through magical Harrison’s Cave to marvel at its crystallised formations, visit the Flower Forest Botanical Gardens, discover a shipwreck and reef life on a submarine tour, and watch the sunset from the Barbados Boardwalk. We wholeheartedly recommend hiring a car in Barbados and enjoying the freedom to discover the less-visited, more rugged Atlantic Coast at your own pace.
For those seeking something more active, there’s surfing on the East Coast, relaxing catamaran cruises, and scuba diving. While underwater, expect to spot barracuda, eels, lionfish, parrotfish, reef squid, Bermuda chub, grouper, and tube sponges.
