Seven Adventures to Enjoy While In Barbados
There’s nothing like a tropical vacation to reset the body and the mind. While it may be tempting to spend your days soaking up the sun on Barbados’ golden sand beaches, we’re here to nudge you to explore all the island has to offer.
Here are some unique experiences to awaken your sense of adventure!
Harrison’s Cave and the Eco-Adventure Park
Did you know that Barbados’ very own Harrison’s Cave is the 8th wonder of the world! A guided tour into this natural wonder will leave you amazed at its rare formation and beautiful crystalline structures. Above the cave is the new Eco-Adventure Park which is sure to cause an adrenaline rush. Hold tight as you zipline across the park or feel the thrill of completing the Gully Challenge Course. We promise you a day you will never forget.
Off-Road Adventures
You know what they say about smooth roads, the real excitement is on the off-beaten paths. With ATV or Go Karting tours like OffRoad Fury or Tore Barbados, you have the opportunity to step into the driver’s seat and navigate Barbados’ rugged roads. Blaze the dirt trails with a few good friends and prepare for the ride of your life.
Ocean Echo Stables
Another interesting experience that we guarantee you will enjoy, proves that you need not drive to have an off-road adventure. Ocean Echo Stables offers unforgettable horseback rides along the coasts of the countryside, on off-beaten trails and even full moon rides. This sounds like one for the books!
Water Sports
True lovers of the sea know that there are endless possibilities for adventure (and we have them all). Whether you opt to swim with the beloved turtles, paddleboard across the crystal waters or sail into the sunset, now is the time to try a new watersport. Barbados Blue WaterSports, Charles Water Sports (located near our hotel) and many others are here to give you the best experience.
Barbados is now home to the Caribbean’s largest floating aqua park at Rascals of Barbados on the West Coast and we recommend you visit!
Island Tours
Escape to the tranquillity of the East Coast on the renowned Island Safari. Feel the island breeze entangled in your hair as you sit in a 4×4 Jeep and marvel at the hidden gems of Barbados. There are special packages allowing you to choose your adventure for the day.
If you’re an avid biker, here’s some good news: you can eBike around the island! Ebike Island Adventures offers a range of exciting tours on electric pedal assist mountain bikes, perfect for an environmentally friendly trip. Ride coast to coast, on rural tracks or challenge yourself to the uphills of the north.
Nature Walks and Hikes
When you hike in Barbados, you never know just where you’ll end up. Cane fields, gullies, tropical forests and coastal lines are all opportunities for exploration to connect with nature. From beginners to advanced, there’s a trail for everyone. Consider hiking Coco Hill Forest or hiking with Hike Barbados, East Coast Beach House Getaway and more!
Mount Gay Rum Tour
As the birthplace of rum, we could not leave out one final adventure for your tastebuds. With four of the region’s finest distilleries (one of which has been around since 1703), we recommend that you try a rum tour. Mount Gay Visitors; Centre and St. Nicholas Abbey are among the places you can go to immerse yourself in the full rum experience.
