Island Explorer Tours

Our six (6) hour Coastal Tour of Barbados begins in Oistins Town with our Explorers being picked up from their Hotels at approximately 8.45- 9.15 a.m. Once we have all aboard our exploration takes us around the beautiful coastline of Barbados, making four (4) leisurely stops and passing through our Capital – Bridgetown and along the West Coast of the Island and onto our first stop at North Point. Next we head to our refreshment stop at Cherry Tree Hill, this is where our explorers are served some traditional Bajan bite sized treats and drinks as we enjoy one of the most incredible views Barbados has to offer. We then head off to explore the rugged East Coast of the Island making our way to our Lunch Stop at Martins Bay. Lunch is served at a seaside Restaurant; this Restaurant is a real gem of a place as it mostly caters to locals so our explorers are guaranteed real “Bajan” food. We then set off to see more of the countryside and on to one of the most beautiful off the beaten track beaches Barbados has to offer. Our Explorers are then returned to their hotels at approximately 3.00 – 3.15 p.m. Our leisurely Tour Stops are:- • North Point • Cherry Tree Hill • Martins Bay (for lunch) • Beachy Head Beach Our expedition is led by Barbadian born Mario Williams, whose family has been involved in the island Tour business since the early 1970’s with his father Lawrence Williams being the first man to start an organized day tour of the Island. Mario uses his extensive knowledge of the Island delivering its history and geography with passion while also sharing many life experiences and humor that his guests find to be most entertaining. As our Tour only takes a maximum of nine (9) this sets the stage for a very intimate day out, and our philosophy is to start as strangers and end as friends!

Miami Beach Barbados

Enterprise Beach looks great in pictures, but it is also good for swimming.

Reviewed By Mancromthecoast - Liverpool, United Kingdom

In our opinion the best beach on the island, one that gives you options???? The calm side is great for a long warm bath where you can relax, swim and even talk with other bathers, many returnees amidst the throng of locals. We usually did it in 2-hours stints before towelling down- my partner has rheumatoid arthritis so this is also therapy time for her having been assisted in, as well as, out of the water. After the water it is time to chill on a chair or bench, soaking in the rays and reading a book. Hunger and thirst are sated via a walk into Oistins for a roti from Chefette, KFC, food from a street van or one of the Oistins cafes. Make the effort and take the plunge.

Carib Beach Bar

Locals and tourists alike love this beachfront bar for its laid-back atmosphere.

Reviewed By Voyager621562 - New York, United States

From the street looks a bit like your usual expensive boozy street bar. But actually the food is great and very reasonable, as well as the drinks. We had lunch for 4 with pina coladas all around for $15 pp ($60 US for 4!) Their breadfruit crisps are to die for! Salty crunchy heaven. Fish is fresh and delicious. And service is relatively good by Barbados standards. Eat and drink right on the beach with your toes in the sand, day or night!

Banks Beer Brewery Tour & Visitor Centre

Take a tour! Find out more about our history, how we brew our beer and then for the ones old enough, sample some delicious ice-cold Banks Beer.

Reviewed By mojos66 - Manchester, United Kingdom

We've been to Barbados 16 times, drunks lots on Banks over the years which we love but never done the tour. Everytime we return to Barbados there is always something new to see. Had a great tour led by Charlottoe who was brilliant. Such a nice lady with a great personality and knew loads about Banks. I will never look at a bottle of Banks again in the same way. Do the tour you wont be disappointed !
