Barbados Travel Guide

Things to Do in Barbados

The easternmost Caribbean island blends British colonial heritage with Bajan warmth. Surf the Atlantic swells on the east coast, swim with sea turtles on the west, tour centuries-old rum distilleries, and feast on flying fish and cou-cou. From the Friday night fish fry at Oistins to the limestone caves of Harrison's Cave, Barbados rewards exploration.
