After hotel pickup, your island tour starts with a drive along Barbados’ west coast, a tony stretch of luxury homes and resorts with gorgeous views of the calm turquoise Caribbean.
Reaching the northern tip of the island, hop out of your comfortable coach to watch big waves crash against the rugged cliffs before continuing south along Barbados’ eastern side — the Atlantic coast. Stop in the surfing and fishing village of Bathsheba to snap photos and enjoy the picturesque scene while sipping a glass of rum punch.
Next, your guide takes you to visit St John’s Church, a Gothic-style church built in 1836 to replace the old church, which was destroyed in an 1831 hurricane. Enjoy another photo op and browse local crafts made by the vendors who’ve set up shop here before making the drive to your last stop, Sunbury Plantation House, set in the countryside of St Philip Parish.
Built around 1660 by one of the first British settlers on Barbados, Sunbury Plantation House provides a detailed look at the lavish ways the island’s sugar-trading families lived in the 18th and 19th centuries. Enjoy a buffet lunch and some ‘planters punch’ at the house, and then take a guided tour to see its impressive collection of antiques, period clothing and farming equipment.
After a drive along Barbados’ southern coast, passing through the fishing town of Oistins, your tour comes to an end with hotel drop-off.
