Barbados Travel and Tourism

Sea-U Guest House, Barbados

Powdery, white sand beaches and crystal clear water is what you can expect to enjoy in Barbados. The island also has some of the best surf in the Caribbean, so surfers and wind-surfers flock to the island’s Atlantic coast to ride the swells.

If you don’t surf, there are plenty of other ways to explore Barbados’ natural resources, such as snorkeling and scuba diving. If you are looking to venture past the beaches, head inland to hike through central Barbados’ rolling hills, which are dotted with plantations left over from the island’s colonial past. There are also museums that document the island’s Bougainvillea Beach Resort, Barbadoshistory, as well as lush botanical gardens.

For those travelers looking to stay in smaller, more authentic hotels or lodges, head to the island’s relaxed west coast. Because of its proximity to the equator, weather in Barbados is warm year-round. Tourist season runs from December through April, and the hurricane season lasts from June through October.

Buses and taxis and are the easiest ways to get around, though cars can be rented as well. Sir Grantley Adams International Airport is serviced by many international locations, making getting to Barbados an easy trip.
