January 24, 2022 Kelli Reichel

Romance and adventure are in the air on this lush West Indian island in the Caribbean, depending on your coast. To the west, you'll find calm waters and good swimming. To the east, there are massive, competition-caliber waves. Wherever you stay, expect turquoise waters, fine soft sand beaches, catamaran cruises and delicious island fare.

Stavronikita

For the expert deep-sea diver, a 360-foot freighter ship sitting in 130 feet of water and populated by all kinds of tropical marine life.

I dived the Stavronika with Barbados Blue in December 2020 and was well worth it - it's a huge, long wreck that's pretty intact, with lots of opportunities for swim throughs.

Ocean Echo Stables

Reviewed By karenwO7013IC - Stourbridge, United Kingdom

Just back from my 2 hour ride off the beaten track and had a brilliant time. My husband wasn’t keen so decided to book on my own and so glad I did. Took in some wonderful views and countryside. Albert the guide was very informative about the different trees and plants as we made our way down to the beach. The horses were very well behaved so would highly recommend to novices as well as regular riders. If you are looking to get out on the east coast in the fresh air and take in stunning scenery then this is a must can’t think of a better way. Samantha was great and collected me from the hotel on time and drove me back later. A lovely end to our beautiful holiday in Barbados.
