Highlights of Barbados

Perfect for travelers on a tight schedule, this Barbados highlights tour shows you the best of the area in just half a day! On this Barbados highlights tour, you'll visit a number of historic sites while enjoying a small group experience.

Our adventure begins at Cherry Tree Hill, offering breathtaking vistas of the East Coast. From there, we'll make our way to the iconic Morgan Lewis Windmill for a photo stop, listed among the top 100 endangered historical sites globally. As we descend towards the coastline, our route takes us through the scenic Cattlewash, with a pit stop in Bathsheba - an epitome of natural beauty and home to the famed Soup Bowl, a surfers' paradise in Barbados. Our exploration continues with a visit to St John's Church, a historic gem perched on a cliff, providing awe-inspiring views.

From this gothic church, our journey unfolds through the charming parish of St George, passing by the Gun Hill signal station and the majestic white Lion, culminating in our arrival at the Garrison Historic area. Our final stop is the remarkable St. Ann's Fort, the first British-built garrison in the West Indies dating back to 1705. Once the regional headquarters of the British Navy, it grew into the largest British Colonial garrison for over a century. Notably, the Garrison holds special significance for Barbados, being the site where the flag of the independent nation was unfurled on November 30, 1966.

As we make our way back to the port, our route winds through the capital of Bridgetown, a UNESCO World Heritage site, adding a perfect finishing touch to your day of exploration.
