Category: Island LifeOctober 23rd 2023Back to our Sandals Blog > > >
Though most tropical vacations revolve around the premise that all vacationers want to cocoon themselves in a palm tree haven complete with gorgeous beaches and a laid-back lifestyle, there are many islands which offer more activities, and more to do, which many travelers are open to.
Barbados is one such island. On the 432 square mile tropical paradise, vacationers can be as busy or free as they would like, and if they choose the former, there's lots to do around the island including fishing boat tours, snorkeling and scuba diving excursions amid ancient shipwrecks, explorations of old churches, relaxing on sandy shores, and if you're a foodie, partaking in a wide range of culinary experiences. In addition to that, there are a number of festivals happening throughout the year including the world famous Crop Over in August, The Barbados Food and Rum Festival in November, The Oistins Fish Festival during Easter, the Barbados Reggae Festival in April, and other events.
Though there's plenty of things to do in Barbados, you'll also find yourself with more time on your hands (island time), so much so that you'll have no issues finding the perfect mix of rest, relaxation, and fun!
Just in case you need help finding things to do while in Barbados, here are our top 50 picks.

best time to visit Barbados .
56. Take a bite out of a Flying-Fish sandwich
Made with the freshest fish, you can hardly go wrong when choosing to try a Flying-Fish sandwich in Barbados. The popular Barbadian flying fish is small and thin and its name has something to do with its ability to 'fly' long distances in the water. In Bridgetown, be sure to stop by the Waterfront Cafe on the Careenage to try out this delicacy. Cuz's Fish shack, also in Bridgetown, is great for authentic Bajan meals.
55. Walk along the Barbados Boardwalk
Just about four miles south of the island's capital, Bridgetown, is the Barbados Boardwalk. It stretches a mile across the coast and connects the Accra and Camelot beaches. The boardwalk is usually frequented by families and people looking for a peaceful place to unwind or workout. Access to the boardwalk is free of charge and along the way there are bars and restaurants, and benches to rest on if you get tired.
54. Rediscover the Project HARP Space Gun
In the 1900s, British engineer Gerald Bull and his partner, Donald Mordell obtained financial assistance from McGill University, the United States Army and the Government of Canada to fund a test project in Barbados. The project (Project HARP) revolved around a space gun; the idea was to use guns to propel objects into space. Though it was abandoned in 1967 (6 years after it was built), the remnants of this test project still stand today and can be accessed (with permission) at the site in Foul Bay, St. Phillip.
53. Experience Barbados' nightlife at Saint Lawrence Gap
For a small island, Barbados has a pretty jumping night life. St Lawrence Gap in Holetown in particular is one of those places where you can go and literally dance all night. 'The Gap' as it is usually called, is lined with clubs and bars located in close proximity to hotels and restaurants in the same area. These hotspots come alive at night for an authentic Bajan experience for both locals and tourists.
Insider Tip: Guests get unlimited cocktails (and other drinks!) at both
Sandals resorts in Barbados , located on the beach at Saint Lawrence Gap.
52. Stroll through the historic city of Bridgetown
Bridgetown, a vibrant, modern city bustling with commercial activity and attractions was named a World Heritage Site in 2012. Visitors can browse through the colorful stores in Broad Street and Swan Street to view a variety of clothing, jewelry, shoes and even local fruits and vegetables. Some notable sites in Bridgetown include Barbados' Garrison, Parliament Buildings, St Michael's Cathedral and the statue of Admiral Lord Nelson in Trafalgar Square.
51. Go hiking
Get up close and personal with the island by embarking on a hiking trip. You'll get to see a variety of plant species, native animals such as the Antillean Crested Hummingbird, and historical sites like forts. You can take a hike and an educational tour with the Barbados National Trust or go on a four-hour long hike to Bath Beach and Culpepper Island with Xtreme Hikers Barbados. Either way, be sure to wear light clothing, bring water a hat, sunscreen and comfortable shoes.
50. Learn about the Baobab Tree
Plant lovers can visit Queen's Park to see the outstanding baobab tree that has stood tall in this park for possibly more than one thousand years. There is another of its kind in Warrens, St. Michael, believed to be more than 300 years old. Baobab tree trunks are the widest of many other species in the region. As history would have it, the ocean currents brought this West African tree to Queen's Park where it has now blossomed into a 91-foot-tall wonder.
49. Visit Barbados' National Heroes Gallery
The Parliament Buildings in Bridgetown do not only serve as a venue for parliamentary procedures, but also double as the home of the Barbados Museum of Parliament and the National Heroes Gallery. The gallery affords visitors the opportunity to learn about the great men and women who made significant strides in Barbadian history to develop the country and ultimately pave the way for others today. Information at the museum is delivered through different sculptures, murals and screens.
48. Take a 'Jeep' Tour
Embark on a jeep safari tour that will take you on an exciting journey through the sometimes rocky, sometimes flat terrain of Barbados. These off-road tours will bring you to the exciting hot spots in Barbados while a knowledgeable guide provides you with the historical details. Refreshments are served in between as you stop off at places like Bathsheba, Edge Cliff in St. John and Little Bay in St. Lucy before enjoying a buffet lunch at the end of your tour. Island Routes offers exciting safari tours.
47. Bask in the essence of Orchid World & Tropical Flower Garden
This tropical garden consists of six sprawling acres with more than 1,000 orchids as well as many other varieties of flowers and plants typically found in the Caribbean region. The orchid garden, which sits about 810 feet above sea level, offers an excellent view of the countryside below. Your visit will take you through a windy path, past a waterfall and then through five orchid houses where rare plants such as Phalaenopsis and Ascocendas can be found. The gardens are open throughout the week and are wheelchair accessible.
46. Learn about plantation life
During the 17th and 18th century, the sugar industry in Barbados was booming. To this day, the island still produces sugar. Many relics and plantation houses still exist and are open for viewing. St. Nicholas Abbey in St. Peters is one of them, with all the makings of a Jacobean style plantation house. It is currently used as a museum and rum distillery and attracts thousands of visitors annually. Featured in the picture above: the Sunbury Plantation House, featuring mahogany antiques and a unique collection of horse-drawn carriages. This is the only great house with all rooms available for viewing.
45. Play a round of golf
Barbados has not one- but five PGA Standard golf courses to choose from. Among these is the Barbados Golf Club in Christ Church as well as the 18-hole Apes Hill Golf Course in St. Peter. St. James is also home to several 72 par golf courses such as Royal Wetsmoreland's, Sandy Lane Country Club and the authentic Sandy Lane Green Monkey.
44. Go back in time at Barbados Museum & Historical Society
In 1930, the Barbados Museum & Historical Society opened its doors in Garrison, St Michael, in what was once a British Military prison. The main attractions are the galleries, including sections featuring African and Jubilee collections, artifacts from the early settlers and an assortment of historical maps. The museum is open to the general public from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Mondays- Saturdays. Though it is closed on public holidays, the museum is open every Sunday from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
43. Party and eat at the Oistins Fish Fry
A Barbados vacation is incomplete without going to a Fish Fry. This type of event is popular in the Caribbean, but Barbados takes it to new heights particularly on Friday and Saturday nights. The Oistins Fish Fry is one of the most buzzing events of this kind, and once you get there you'll find fresh catches like marlin, mahi mahi and lobster sizzling away with lively music setting the tone for an epic Caribbean party. All you have to do is make your way to the streets between Welches Beach and Miami Beach on the south coast to get in on the fun!
Tip: The
Island Routes Oistins Tour will allow you to take in this experience in an authentic and unforgettable way.
42. Visit Farley Hill National Park
During the best part of its existence, Farley Hill was an extraordinary mansion owned by a rich planter known as Sir Graham Briggs. A year after this 17th century building was destroyed by fire; it became a national park. That was the same year (1966) when the island gained its independence from Britain. Fast forward to present day, many stop by Farley Hill to take in the breathtaking view of the eastern coast of Barbados. Weddings, church activities, picnics and even concerts are also held here.
41. Visit the Caribbean Wax Museum
The Caribbean wax museum is the product of two Barbadians; Arthur Edwards and Frances Ross, who sought to have a museum that featured life size wax models of great Caribbean people. Notable figures such as Barbadian soca artist Allison Hinds and music and business mogul, Rihanna can be found here, as well as models of Errol Walton Barrow, the island's first Prime Minister and Jamaican athlete, Usain Bolt. This museum is located in the Norman Centre on Broad Street, Bridgetown.
40. Visit the Barbados Wildlife Reserve
Take a walk on the wild side to the Barbados Wildlife Reserve in St. Peter's Parish where you will encounter macaws, green monkeys and gracious pink flamingoes. The Reserve is about four acres large and while there you'll see animals roaming freely in a natural habitat. A good time to see the animals is 2pm, which is their feeding time. In addition to monkeys and flamingoes, you'll also find iguanas and endangered turtles, parrots, peacocks, brocket deer, mara, and snapping caiman. A great thing about this tour is that once you pay you also have access to Grenade Hall which is located nearby. Grenade Hall dates back to the 1800s, and is more or less an old signal station that is interesting to explore.
39. Visit Folkestone Marine Park
The Folkestone Marine Park is quite an impressive place; in this area the Stavronikita, a sunken ship, can be found 120 feet underwater, about half a mile away from the shoreline. A diving expedition in this area is certainly not for beginners; only the most experienced divers should venture out from here. The guidance of a divemaster is highly recommended. Non divers can enjoy watersports such as paddle boarding and kayaking and snorkelers can explore the inshore reef where sea anemones and sponges can be found.
38. See the Emancipation Statue of Bussa in St. Michael
This statue is a representation of the island's emancipation from slavery in 1834. The statue features Bussa, one of Barbados' national heroes, with his hands held triumphantly in the air as busted chains hang from each of them. This serves as a physical depiction of this newfound freedom and Bussa, who is remembered for leading the biggest slave revolt in Barbados, is most fitting in this space.
37. Visit the Sugar Museum
During the 18th and 19th centuries, before slavery was abolished in Barbados, the island was a major producer of sugar cane in the Caribbean region. This sugar museum was the idea of Sir Frank Huston, who rightfully thought that preservation of the sugar machinery was crucial to the island's history. Exhibits show the island's role in the industry and during the reaping season from February to May, visitors can witness how sugar is made using cane juice.
36. See the restorative work at the Morgan Lewis windmill
This 1727 windmill was used in sugar cane production in the 18th and 19th centuries, until 1947 when all operations were ceased, and it was bequeathed to the Barbados National Trust. The Morgan Lewis windmill isn't like others in the world; in fact, it is one of the only fully functional one in the Caribbean. This is due to major restorative efforts that were undertaken in 1999. Given its rich history, a visit to this landmark should be part of any visitor's to do list - just head down to St. Andrew, particularly during the months of December to April, to catch a live demonstration of how sugar was produced back in the day.
35. Snap away at Andromeda's Tropical Garden
Andromeda's Botanical Garden is the handy work of Iris Bannochie, a horticulturist who founded it as an extension of her home. To this day, it is still located on the eastern parish of St Joseph, near to Bathsheba. You can book a free guided tour, during which you will be taken on a stroll through the six acres of this historical garden. Tour guides will teach you all they know about all the varieties of plants, flowers and the associated herbal remedies. In 1988, Bannochie bestowed this historical garden to the Barbados National Trust for preservation.
34. Visit the Green Monkeys at Welchman Hall Gully
This cafe and adventure park is tremendously popular in Barbados. The collapse of the roofs of a previously existing cave system resulted in the formation of the three-quarter mile long gully that can be found here. The gully has since blossomed into a tropical forest with a variety of plants and trees including bamboo and nutmeg. Here you can also spot the local green monkeys in their natural habitat, munching on bananas and other fruit. Take a look but be sure not to overstep; these monkeys can get a little wild!
33. Dig deep at Arlington House Museum
During the plantation era, this Speighstown museum was home to a rich merchant. Now, this newly restored building has been transformed into an interactive museum that offers visitors insight into the island's history. Arlington Museum has three floors/stories which each offer a unique perspective; on the first (Speighstown Memories) you'll learn about the life of the Amerindians while the second (Plantation Memories) has information on slavery and colonization. The third (Wharf Memories) focuses on Speighstown maritime history.
32. St. James Parish Church
This truly historic church is built on a site where the first English settlers landed in Barbados way back in 1627. While the exact date of the construction of the church has been lost over the years, according to the British Museum, there are references to the church which were made in 1629 and 1660. The church was destroyed in 1675, and again in 1780, but has since been reconstructed and remains a popular tourist attraction for Barbados. St. James Parish Church is the oldest church on the island. The area where it was constructed was initially known as Jamestown.
31. Dive deep with Atlantis
You can explore the magic of the undersea without getting even a splash of water on your face by way of the Atlantis. There's no need for certification in order to participate in this experience, all you need is some courage, and a heart for discovery and you'll be just the right kind of passenger to enjoy travelling on the Atlantis Submarine, which can dive as far as 150 feet into the ocean's depths. Expect to see a variety of underwater sightings, including colorful fish, lively reefs, and even old ship wrecks. The 50-foot mini-sub can hold 48-passengers in all, but you'll have to make your booking well in advance.
Tip: The Atlantis submarine experience is a family friendly one, but kids need to be at least 3 feet tall to enjoy the ride.
30. Start your day at Bliss Cafe
Bliss Cafe offers American, Caribbean, and British cuisine, inclusive of cafe specials. There are many vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options at the cafe, which can be rare for Caribbean islands like Barbados, at least when it comes to specialty cuisine. Bliss Cafe is located near Dover Beach at St. Lawrence Gap, and is a popular breakfast spot. Tasty menu items include waffles, Panini sandwiches, omelets, and other full breakfast options. Be sure to grab a coffee, or some fresh local juice to sip out on the terrace!
29. Holetown Beach
Holetown beach is beautiful, quiet, and loved by most visitors to Barbados. The golden sandy shores are complemented by lots of shady spots underneath the palm trees to spend the day or settle in for a picnic. The beach is on the west coast of Barbados, in the parish of St. James. Nearby you'll find a post office, a police station, and closer to the beachfront, some restaurants and bars overlooking the ocean. If you're there at the right time, you'll catch an amazing sunset view.
28. Rockley Beach
The beach life is the irresistible attraction that draws visitors to the Caribbean; that and the warmth of the climate and people on the sunny shores. Rockley Beach is one of the more popular beaches in Barbados, and the perfect place for paradise seekers to bring their sun kissed dreams to life. You can rent out some chairs to take in the beach side ambiance, or just set up your beach towel underneath a beach umbrella and you're well on your way to the perfect beach day. At Rockley Beach there are opportunities to try watersports and places to eat or grab a drink. Quayside Centre or Tiki Bar are great choices. You can also shop around at the sprinkling of kiosks on the beach for souvenirs to take back home. If small children are part of your group, the southern end of the beach is best; there you'll find a natural kiddie pool, which is more or less a small pool protected by rocks that keeps out strong waves.
27. Enjoy some cricket at Kensington Oval in Barbados
This famous stadium has been used for numerous sporting events in Barbados, but it is more popularly known as a venue for cricket at the regional and international levels. The 2007 Cricket World Cup and the World Twenty20 finals were held here. When test matches are underway you can expect to see teams from as far as Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand. Kensington Oval is more than 12.5 acres in size and seats about 28,000 people.
26. Enjoy the bird's eye view at Gun Hill Signal Station
This 1818 gun station in St. George was built merely two years after Bussa the slave, led the largest revolt on the island. This station served as a lookout for enemy ships and as a means of maintaining security inland. Today, it is a historical site protected by the Barbados National Trust. The rooms at the station contain an impressive collection of relics from this military period.
25. Experience the Magic of Crane Beach
Powdery white sand and crashing waves collide in the most captivating way at Crane Beach. Added to its organic beauty, the shores of Crane Beach are well maintained, so you can be assured that you'll be in perfect comfort while enjoying your beach day. Sometimes the beach is a little too turbulent for swimming, but that doesn't stop most of the locals; proceed with caution. Nevertheless, it's not hard to enjoy the ambiance in this spot which also features a restaurant and hotel.
24. Indulge in world-class dining at The Cliff
Food has a way of bringing people together, or at least it's often part of the motivation for people traveling to various destinations. This proves true in Barbados, a Caribbean island known for its world-class dining. This is most seen in the number of modern, independent restaurants on island, and the abundance of upscale hotel dining settings that you can eat in on every night of your vacation. One of the most high-rated restaurants in this regard is The Cliff; however, you'll have to book early to secure your reservation, especially if you want to eat out on the terrace. Expect spontaneous sightings of celebrities or the super-rich, who often pull up via the docks at The Cliff. Ask about The Cliff Beach Club, where you can also grab lunch and dinner.
Tip: Prefer to enjoy gourmet restaurants 24/7? Get unlimited food and (alcoholic) drinks at the 18 restaurants the
Sandals resorts in Barbados offer. All included in your stay!
23. Get underneath it all at Harrison's Cave
Probably one of the most popular attractions in Barbados, you are unlikely to be disappointed with
22. See how George Washington lived in Barbados
In 1751, George Washington resided in Barbados for two months, where he stayed with his sick brother at the Bush Hill House at the Garrison in St. Michael. The house has since made history as the only one that Washington ever resided in outside of the United States. It is preserved in 18th century style and contains a museum, stables and a windmill. Guided tours are offered throughout the week along with a short historical film about the property.
21. Try windsurfing or kitesurfing
Long Beach and Silver Rock Beach are two of the best kite and wind surfing locations in Barbados, much due to the trade winds that create perfect conditions in those areas. Silver Rock on the southeast coast of Barbados, has small waves which are ideal for kite and windsurfing beginners. Though the trade winds usually work in your favor, the best time to visit would be from December to February for the best waves.
20. Go rum tasting at the Mount Gay Distillery
Rum tasting events are always a good time, and the Mount Gay Distillery is a great place to start. Described as 'a rum lover's paradise', the distillery in St. Lucy, Barbados offers tours of their fully operational rum-making headquarters. Mount Gay has distilled rum for over 300 years, and it the oldest continuously running rum distillery in the world. The best part of course, is the samples you get to take home with you, and if that's not enough, you can always stop by the souvenir shop to get more before you take off.
19. See the cliffs and waves of Bathsheba Beach
Bathsheba is a sight to behold with its striking coral rock formations and natural pools. Take lots of pictures as you explore what is possibly one of the most scenic spots in Barbados. Some tours include stops at Bathsheba Beach but you'll probably only get to enjoy the rays there for about 30 minutes with the rest of the group. If you want more time to explore this location, it's better to make arrangements to come on your own. Bathsheba Beach is perfect for adventurers, people looking for the perfect picnic grounds, and skilled surfers, who can test their skills at the Soup Bowl. Bathsheba tends to be a little rough at times, so swimming is not always advised. There's a restaurant down the beach just in case you get hungry.
18. Walk the sands of Dover Beach
Dover's Beach in St. Lawrence Gap on the south coast of Barbados is ideal for those who prefer less crowded beaches, with opportunities to try out watersports like sailing, jet skiing and windsurfing. This beach is quite large, and there is a noticeable difference in some parts which are calmer and others where there's a bit more wave action. There are plenty of beach bars along Dover Beach where you can either grab a bite or some drinks as you settle in for the perfect beach day.
17. Fall in love with Animal Flower Cave
The Flower Cave features the island's only accessible sea cave. The natural sea cave is located in St. Lucy's Parish on the northern tip of Barbados. Once there, you'll be able to take in fantastic views, and even dip into the rock pool inside the cave. From inside you'll be able to look out of the naturally formed windows, right onto the ocean. If you're not up for exploring the cave, you can always stay up top and enjoy the scenery, perhaps with a mood boosting fruit or rum punch in hand. There is a restaurant on site, and a seating area with panoramic views. There's also a children's play area, so if you're travelling with family this is a great place to spend the day.
16. So much to discover at St. Nicholas Abbey
Built by Colonel Benjamin Berringer in 1658, this plantation house, museum and rum distillery opens its doors to visitors who want to know more about its transformation over the years. St. Nicholas Abbey remains one of three authentic Jacobean mansions in this part of the world, and on the extensive estate where the Plantation House is located; you'll find a sugar cane plantation, the Moore Hill House, slave villages, flower and herb gardens, a courtyard, and more. The tour of the estate will also take you to the fully functional steam mill and rum distillery, the latter of which produces St. Nicholas Abbey Rum.
15. Experience pottery making
In Barbados, you can find many pottery makers displaying their craft at various locations around the island. Earthworks Pottery in Edgehill, St. Thomas is known for its unique blue and green plates, bowls and other kitchenware and domestic items that are featured in many businesses on island. Also, Chalk Mount Potteries in St. Andrew has been crafting their products for generations. Samples of their work can be purchased online.
14. Enterprise (Miami) Beach
Described often as 'the perfect little beach', Enterprise Beach is a great choice for a Caribbean beach adventure. There's a cove on the north side, and waves large enough for surfers to ride on the south side. This makes it more than necessary to take some surf lessons while in Barbados to make the most of this stunning strand. Enterprise Beach is just two minutes from Oistins. There's often a lifeguard on duty, lots of trees for shade, restroom facilities, beach chairs for rental, and pretty much everything you'll need for your beach day. The beach is usually busier on weekends and holidays, and on most days you'll be able to pick up a tasty treat or something cold to drink from the Mr. Delicious food truck.
13. Go on a Walking Food Tour
'Bajan culture, history, and food' in a nutshell, the Original Bajan Walking Food Tour starts at around US$72 and is a great option for a fun-filled tour where you'll be able to eat like a local. On your own it might take some time to hunt down the best-rated traditional cuisine on the island, but with a tour like the one offered by Lickrish Food Tours, you'll be able to try all different kinds of Barbadian treats and dishes you probably won't find anywhere else in the world. The Walking Food Tour put visitors in the shoes of locals for the day, for a one-of-a-kind experience.
12. Sail away on a bajan day or sunset cruise
Tour companies like
11. The Boatyard Beach Club
There's always an adventure to be had at The Boatyard, no matter your age. Expect lots of adventure in this space, whether you're coming off a cruise and want to kill some time, or you're holidaying on island and looking for somewhere to spend the day. You'll need to get a day pass beach package to access the amenities at The Boatyard Beach Club which include an ocean trampoline, iceberg climb and slide, a dive platform, rope swing, and more. There's always live music, a restaurant (The South Deck) and bar (Sharkey's), pool tables, restrooms and the works. The Boatyard also offers a popular turtle and snorkel tour, but you'll need to call in advance to schedule. Bring along your ID just in case.
10. Walk around Speighstown
On the west coast of Barbados is the second largest town on island - Speighstown. This quaint community holds a significant part of Barbados' history; the old architecture and town houses stand as proof of the wealthy traders who once lived there. Though it is relatively quiet, there are some shops, business centers and a fishing compound where you can get local fish. There are other vendors as well, selling souvenirs and local produce.
9. Have a picnic at Bottom Bay
If you venture into the south east coast of Barbados, you will find Bottom Bay just after Crane Beach and Sam Lord's Castle. This secluded beach is marked by tall palm trees, rugged coral cliffs and a scenic view of the south of the island. Though it is a beautiful place, visitors are strongly advised not to go swimming in the waters due to the strong currents and large waves. Though you may have to limit your beach day to exploring the seashore, Bottom Bay is still a great place for a fun picnic with friends and family.
8. Relax at Carlisle Bay
7. Try stand-up paddle boarding
If you want to try stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) around Carlisle Bay, try booking with Paddle Barbados, a company based in St Michael Barbados. Experienced paddlers can paddle on their own but the company offers lessons to those in need, which are provided by their trained instructors. Stand up Paddling can turn into a fun filled day at the beach inclusive of snorkeling, kayaking and swimming opportunities. Carlisle Bay is popular for sightings of sea turtles, so you won't be disappointed while on a scuba or snorkeling tour.
Tip: Stand-up paddle boards and kayaks are free to use for guests of
Sandals Royal Barbados andSandals Barbados along their respective beaches.
6. Explore underwater reefs and wrecks
Scuba divers are surely in for a treat when visiting Barbados. In the Carlisle Bay Marine Park, near Bridgetown, there are several shipwrecks to explore, with remnants of cannons and anchors rooted on the ocean's floor. To the south of this bay lies a coral reef that is home to a variety of tropical fish and other marine life, with a few turtles swimming by. These spots are just two of the many excellent diving sites Barbados has to offer.
Tip: Many dive shops in Barbados offer classes and rental equipment to divers. The
two Sandals all-inclusive resorts in Barbados , take this to a new level by offering guests who are scuba certified free scuba diving during their stay.
5. Catch some fresh fish
Leave from the Careenage in Bridgetown for a full or half day fishing trip that will probably be one of the highlights of your stay in Barbados. The months of January - April are best for this kind of excursion, and you can expect to make big catches like mahi mahi, marlin, tuna, kingfish, wahoo, and more during this time, and throughout the year. Ask your tour operator or charter operator about fishing license legislation in Barbados ahead of time.
4. Settle in for some horseracing at Garrison Savannah
This historical savannah, which can be found in the parish of St. Michael, was once frequented by British troops and wealthy planters who raced horses. This former military headquarters is still used as a horse racing site. In fact, it is one of the main attractions in the savannah today, with regular races taking place from January to April.
3. Learn to surf
Up for a surfing challenge? Learn to surf, or get better at it during your vacation in Barbados. There are a few surf schools on the island, like Barry's Surf Barbados which offers beginner and intermediate classes, so whatever your skill level, you'll be ready for the wave action in Barbados in no time. A two-hour surfing lesson starts at US$72 and includes a free surfboard rental for the day. Surfing is highly addictive, so don't be surprised if you find yourself a repeat visitor just for some more time in Barbadian waters!

Some of our destination weddings
Sandals Grande, St. Lucia, Large Group, Destination Wedding
I wanted to share (with permission) these gorgeous pictures from a destination wedding 2 weekends ago we had the privilege of being a part of and booked by Lia. She chose this over the water wedding chapel in St. Lucia with friends and family there to help celebrate. I love her flower crown and her dress and how happy she is. Picture perfect. Congratulations Kate and Curtis! We are so happy for you!
Beaches Resort, Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Destination Wedding
Lia was very helpful for us in planning our destination wedding to Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We had gone through a few other travel planners first who didn't seem nearly as interested in our needs. We really appreciated the way Lia helped us navigate through some of the complexities, including the local laws of Jamaica and the planning with the resort itself. Even once we got to the resort and ran into a few snags, Lia was able to quickly get those resolved very quickly. We would highly recommend her for anyone planning a destination wedding or any other vacation. Thanks, Lia, for making our destination wedding the most special day of our lives.
Playa Del Carmen, Large Group, Destination Wedding
Wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming, but if you're planning on having a destination wedding, especially with a large group, I would highly recommend using All Inclusive Weddings!
From beginning to end, they help with every step; i.e., finding the venue, creating a custom wedding website, and booking all your guests. Their office manager, Linze, was very responsive, helpful, and so sweet! Everything turned out smoothly and we couldn't be happier!
Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa, Destination Wedding
Stephanie was our incredible travel agent for our destination wedding! She helped with every aspect, quick communication and AMAZING coordination with over 50 different people over 8 states. Stephanie from the beginning, gave options and talked through so many questions I had. I could not have asked for a better right hand woman! 10 out of 10 for Steph, we could not appreciate & trust her more!
Incredible Agent For Our Destination Wedding! 10 Out Of 10 For Steph!
Such an amazing week of memories,laughter & love! Thankful for our people and truly blessed beyond words ♥ï¸â™¥ï¸
Royalton Blue Waters, Montego Bay, Jamaica, Destination Wedding
My husband and I worked with the company's owner, Lia Vincent, and office manager, Linze.
Lia & Linze were both very warm and friendly, and from day one, we could tell cared about us as a couple and our destination wedding success, rather than just seeing us as more clients. I get stressed out easily, so planning my own wedding alone was overwhelming, even though my wedding was 10 months out. I ended up working with Linze, and we pushed up the wedding date with a little less than three months to prepare. I was initially nervous about using a travel agent / wedding planner, but it turned out to be a huge blessing, because it took away a lot of the stress and worry I was experiencing. A bride has so many things to worry about, so having someone else bear the brunt of the work and worry about the nitty-gritty details was a HUGE relief for me.
Why spend hours analyzing vendors and reading reviews, when you can have a pro do it? If you want an intimate wedding, if you want to elope, or if you want a huge all-out, go-into-debt-for-years wedding, and if you're in the market for a wedding travel agent, Lia and Linze should be at the top of your list!
The day of the wedding, everything was so beautiful, and so much better than I could have done on my own. Lia's company finds the best local vendors, so you know you'll get great value in your package, and what's nice is her company offers different packages for different budgets. We worked with and met AMAZING vendors! The reception was so elegant that as soon as I entered the reception, I felt amazement, joy, and relief because being the worrywart and control freak that I sometimes can be, it was hard for me to trust someone to somehow make everything perfect. Lia was able to give us the dream wedding we couldn't have done ourselves. Our family and friends were also amazed, and repeatedly told us how great the wedding, reception, and food were at the resort.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Destination Wedding
I used Stephanie Tindall to help me choose the perfect resort in PV Mexico for where my guests would stay for my destination wedding. She went round and round with me helping me find the perfect location. It had to be nice, trendy, not to outrageously expensive and within a certain mile radius of a marina where my guests needed to go for the wedding. She helped everyone get booked and when things became a little hectic as tracking sometimes can get. She took care of the details. One of my guests had passport issues and she helped talk them through what to do. It was such a relief to have a point of contact for travel related issues so I didn't have to be stressed about it. She did this all with a patient, positive? upbeat and kind attitude through the entire process. I highly recommend her.
Thank you again,
Darby Brown
UNICO, Riviera Maya, Mexico Destination Wedding
Unico was wonderful and the perfect place for our wedding! It was quiet and the ceremony was better than expected. We had it on the gazebo and it was away from everything, which was great. The photography was beyond our expectations. We have not received our video yet, but assume it will be just as great. I also used the in house vendor for make up and hair, and was not disappointed. The wedding coordinator, Nazareth, was so sweet and on point. We used the local host quite a bit with WhatsApp, which was quite convenient. Food and drinks were amazing. We were disappointed that 2087 restaurant was down for half of our stay for repairs. We ate at Mi Carisa on our wedding night, which was the perfect choice. Service was also best there. We scheduled 2 tours through the hotel, a sunset cruise and Chichen Itza express. The boat tour was nice. Chichen itza tour was too fast and ok. We really appreciate your recommendations and help booking our wedding and stay. It was wonderful! Thank you again, Juliet and Jason
Hard Rock Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding
We just got back from an AMAZING wedding weekend yesterday. I can't begin to thank you enough for your help and support during the entire process. Everyone had a great time. It truly was one of the best days of my life and I can't believe how stress-free it was once I got there. Thank you Thank you!
Secrets Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding
I have never used a travel agent before Lia. I have always been the "I can do everything cheaper by myself on the internet" type person; most of the time, it works great. When my husband and I decided to have a destination wedding, we were not sure about anything - number of guests, length of stay, etc; we also have very demanding jobs, requiring constant travels up until the week before our wedding. So we thought that a travel agent may be a lifesaver; as it turned out, she was. Lia was endorsed as an expert in destination weddings on the American Express Travel website. Although she lived over a 1,000 miles away, I felt comfortable.
As I am not a "girly" person, wedding planning was not my thing; however, party planning and event coordination are. Lia and I treated this "event" like a business and I loved that about her; I needed someone to be truthful and provide honest advice. As it is with my job, I like corresponding via emails because I can have all the information on hand and in writing at all time; Lia always accommodated that, and always very promptly. I'm not talking about several emails over a few months; I'm talking about over the course of over a year. Lia was there to provide support when I had a hard time reach the wedding coordinator; she was there when I freaked out at the resort regarding my brother's return transportation (as it turned out, my brother spoke with the wrong transportation company); she was organized to be able to provide me with spreadsheet of all guest arrival information; she always submitted my requests to Classic Vacation and the resort promptly. James and I cannot thank Lia enough to make everything go smoothly for the biggest event of our lives. All 48 of us had such a great time that we absolutely see another group vacation in the future.
UNICO 2087, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Read the full details about this destination wedding in our blog post, Mark and Casey Simpsen's Destination Wedding at UNICO 2087. This couple was also featured in the UNICO 2087 Resort blog post, UNICO Destination Wedding, Casey Shelley & Mark Simpsen
Beach Palace Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Lia being referred to me saved me so much wedding planning mental anguish! I had tried with a few other travel agents before I had two different people give me Lia's name, and with each of the previous TAs they had to look into things and call me back (I'm still waiting for those calls). Getting in touch with Lia was a whole new experience, she answered all my initial questions in that first phone call, had so many recommendations, and it was obvious she knew exactly what she was doing. By the time we hung up the first phone call, I had decided on a destination and venue (per Lia's suggestion). She was a God send! A year later, we are still having people talk about what a great trip it was and people are always amazed by what a great turn out we had. We ended up with about 60 people, all booking through Lia and everyone had a flawless experience. One even asked for her name when planning her destination wedding a few months later and was just as pleased! Lia told me a lot through the planning process that I was such a laid-back bride, but it really was because she left me nothing to worry about. She answered any question I had, was always quick to respond to calls and emails, and helped me plan the most perfect wedding ever. I wish I could re-live it all again!!
Cozumel Palace, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Throughout the process we felt completely at ease as she handled some of the most important details of planning for this special time. From her first recommendations of resorts and destinations to her help arranging travel for our closest family and friends we always felt grateful having Lia on our side. We highly recommend Lia Vincent and Palace Resorts for your destination wedding!
Le Blanc Spa Resort, Destination Wedding
I am truly so grateful for you and all of your help! Le Blanc was amazing! NOTHING could have been better, except maybe the weather, but the staff, food, and service were above and beyond! We will definitely go back there!! Love, Love, Love you for all of your help - Can NOT thank you enough!!
Beach Palace, Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Our Dream Wedding!
Lia was a phenomenal help from the beginning. She was referred to me by a friend, and I was incredibly thankful that we used her. When we started planning, we became overwhelmed with all of the information that is available.
We met with her for about 45 minutes one afternoon, took her pictures of spaces we had seen online and liked, and gave her a list of our "must-haves", a list of things that would be nice but didn't matter too much, and a list of things we absolutely did NOT want. She kind of thought about things for a minute, and then listed 3 resorts that fit every single one of our needs. She then ran sample pricing from EVERY location our guests would be traveling from so we could figure out what best fit our and our guests' travel budgets. After about a million more questions from me, we finally settled on her initial recommendation, the Beach Palace in Cancun. As we went through the process, any time I had a question, problem, or was just worried about something not being right, she was my go-to person. I'm not kidding, she would answer me in like, less than an hour 99% of the time. She even took my file home one weekend to give me more time to figure something out before she ran credit cards and got it booked. She was a Godsend!
Riu Palace, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Lia with Lia helped us plan our destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We had a total of 11 people and she helped each of them set up their arrangements. From the beginning she was so helpful and always quick to respond. She made the entire process a breeze. She communicated with the wedding coordinator at the Riu Palace and made sure everything was just like we wanted. We did not have any issues at all, thanks to Lia and all of her thorough planning. Each of our guests bragged on her and said how easy it was to work with her. I would recommend Lia for all of your planning needs whether it be just a short vacation or a destination wedding. She knows what she is doing and will make sure all of your questions are answered and that you have the best vacation.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband and I got married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico right off the beach. It was pure bliss, and everything I could have ever dreamed of! I may be biased, but destination weddings are certainly the way to go and thanks to our wonderful Travel Agent Lia Vincent at Vincent Vacations, we were able to find the perfect place! I had the opportunity to be able to edit the straight out of camera photos from my wedding! Here is a glimpse of our wedding day in paradise!
Iberostar, Grand Punta Cana, Destination Wedding
We had the most amazing time at our wedding. Our guests are still talking about what an amazing trip it was! Thank you for your help with organizing this unforgettable time for us, we cannot wait to put our pictures in our new frame!
Dreams, Puerto Aventuras Resort, Destination Wedding
Lia, thank you very much for all of your help with our PERFECT wedding vacation!
Excellence, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding
"It was beautiful! Everybody had a fantastic time!"
The staff was wonderful, the rooms were gorgeous, and the food was AMAZING! Our wedding could not have been more perfect and if you have any brides that want a beautiful wedding on a budget, The Excellence Punta Cana would be my number one recommendation. Emy and Livia were fantastic and everything was just PERFECT! Chris couldn't even believe how wonderful it was.
Thank you again for all of your help!!!
Dreams, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Our Dream Wedding!
As soon as Jimmy asked me to marry him, I knew we would want a destination wedding. We love to travel, and we love the beach, so there was no more perfect place to start our lives together than a beach in Mexico!
I am not the wedding planning type, and I knew that with a destination wedding, we could get someone else to plan the details for us. Luckily for me, my friend Lia at Vincent Vacations specializes in Destination Weddings. Lia had taken care of trips for us in the past, and I knew she was the perfect person to help me plan this trip. I was right! She helped me look through destinations, and we found the perfect spot: Dreams in Puerto Vallarta! The package came with a wedding planner, who took care of the details for me. 21 of our friends and family came with us, and everyone loved the resort. Our party ranged in age from 7 to 82, and everyone agreed it was an amazing trip. There were activities for the kids, and plenty of excursions for everyone to choose from. The staff was wonderful, and pampered us from the time we arrived. One of my bridesmaids had a broken foot and was on crutches, and was in a wheelchair some. The hotel staff assisted her anytime she needed it, including carrying her and her wheelchair up and down large flights of stairs. They were amazing! All the rooms are ocean front, with beautiful views. Jimmy and I stayed in the "Preferred" tower, and our room came with a great balcony with a hot tub! Most of our guests stayed in the other tower, but the resort is small enough, this was not a problem at all. They all loved their rooms as well. The wedding planner met with me in advance to work out the last minute details and timing. When our wedding day came, everything went perfectly. We got married on the beach right in front of the ocean. We had a sound system and a dj who played all the songs that we picked out in advance. My Dad is a minister, and he performed the service for us. We had 21 in our wedding party, but it felt like a much bigger wedding because lots of people watched the wedding. You could see people everywhere on their balconies watching, which made us feel like rock stars. We had a Mexican band that played a few songs after the wedding. The wedding came with a photographer and videographer who did amazing job! We took pictures right after the wedding, then we had dinner which also came with the wedding. We had steak and chicken which tasted great. Of course, I also asked them for chips and guacamole. (I love the guacamole in Mexico.) They were happy to oblige. They provided the wedding cake after which was amazing. After the wedding, my husband and I stayed for another 4 days, and it was paradise. I could not have asked for a more beautiful place to get married, or a less stressful way to do it. Thanks Lia and Vincent Vacations for making our special day an amazingly unforgettable experience!
Jamaica, Destination Wedding
Love the pictures one of our brides just shared from her elopement in Jamaica! Thank you for sharing with us! Did you know we book Destination weddings of all sizes? If it's just the 2 of you or a group of 250, give us a call!
Grand Fiesta Americana, Los Cabos, Mexico, Destination Wedding
This was the best and easiest decision we made about our entire wedding! Lia at All Inclusive Weddings is the absolute best, extremely intelligent, hard working, and so caring. She truly makes you feel like you are her only client throughout the entire process. We had about 120 people coming to our Cabo wedding and even had to switch resorts, visitors coming from all different states and even Europe. She was calm, and kept the bride and groom calm! Every detail was taken care of and it was made to be the most perfect wedding!
Finest, Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding
I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work to arrange the hotel and transfers for Ashley and Robbie's wedding. It was perfect and everything that she had ever dreamed of! The resort was amazing! We had great food at all the restaurants. The staff went over the top to accommodate any needs that you could have had! Everyone felt safe and the beaches are beautiful. Since it's more private you don't get the crazy vendors walking the beach trying to sell you stuff. Our family loved it so much and we defiantly will be planning another vacation. You will be the first I call if we need help to organize something! Thank you again for everything
We have been in business since 2013, and booking destination weddings since 2002!
