Harrison’s Cave, one of Barbados’ outstanding living natural wonders, is located right in the middle of the island. Discover a 1.5-mile long cavern dripping with massive stalagmites and stalactites by delving deep into the forested hillside. These formations may be seen at several of the cave’s monuments, including the Village and the Great Hall. Take a tram tour to see the breathtaking galleries, which snake past underground streams, sparkling mineral pools, and a brilliant waterfall. You’ll gasp in amazement at every turn as you explore this magnificent underground planet, which is filled with an amazing past.

Our top choice for taking in coastal views is Cocktail Kitchen, which is located in the incredibly hip St Lawrence Gap neighborhood. Its creative menu reflects the energy of this trendy waterfront neighborhood, where traditional gastronomy coexists with more modern international cuisine. Our choice for the ultimate three-course meal would be the braised oxtail as the first course, the parmesan-crusted catch of the day as the second course, and the spiced banana sticky toffee pudding as the third dish. The name of this lively diner gives it away, but it’s the cocktails, and no matter which one you choose, it will taste wonderful while you take in the lovely views of the bay from its rooftop bar.

Hackleton’s Cliff arguably offers the best view of Barbados if you’re looking for one. The breathtaking views of the lush, craggy mountains and wild Atlantic shoreline make the nearly 1,000-foot hike up this island’s highest peak worthwhile. It’s a breathtaking view of Scotland, but you aren’t back in the British Isles; instead, it’s the Barbados neighborhood, which former settlers gave the name of their home country with affection.

One of Barbados’ best colonial jewels is located in the island’s far north, despite the fact that Bridgetown may contain the majority of the island’s British heritage. One of only three Jacobean palaces in the Western Hemisphere, St. Nicholas Abbey is a sugar plantation and rum distillery built in 1658. While a nice museum provides additional information on the fascinating history, the well-preserved grounds, architecture, and furniture make for a delightful stroll. Since Barbados is regarded as the birthplace of rum, there is no better spot to sample this drink. Rum sampling is frequently included in tours.

A leisurely catamaran trip is the perfect activity in the calm waters off Barbados’ west Caribbean coast. Before diving in to snorkel with turtles or observe a shipwreck sitting on the ocean floor, take in the tranquil views of the water. Dry off before enjoying a delectable Bajan feast with rum punch on the deck. You have the option of taking a day cruise or a sunset cruise, with the latter adding a touch of romance to your aquatic trip.
