Bajan Paradise

Setting out from the cruise pier area, you will journey to sightsee the east coast of Barbados. As your driver guide tells you about his beautiful island, you will travel to some of its best-known scenic sites.

On this Barbados excursion you will stop for photos at Cherry Tree Hill where you will have a panoramic view of the highlands of the Scotland District; Morgan Lewis Windmill, the last sugar windmill to operate on Barbados, for a photo stop; Cattle Wash, known for its curative climate; Bathsheba, with its gigantic boulders and waves breaking upon them; and St. John's Parish Church, where you will enjoy a wonderful view of the entire East Coast. From this famous gothic church, you will then pass through the Gun Hill signal station, where you will see the famous White Lion coral stone carving. You will continue on your journey through the beautiful parish of St. George!

After a morning of tropical beauty, you'll make your way across country, traveling through the Garrison Historic Area, built in 1806, and on to a local beach bar located on Carlisle Bay. With white sand and turquoise water, this beach is a real slice of paradise. At this beach bar, you will be provided with a welcome drink, a beach chair, and an umbrella. The facility also has washrooms and showers available for your use. Although lunch is not included, there is a restaurant and bar to serve you on and off the beach.

Carlisle Bay is a marine park with 25 shipwrecks hidden below its surface. You will have approximately 2 hours at the beach to sun, swim, look for sand dollars, or perhaps participate in one of the snorkel excursions to swim with the turtles or alongside one of the shipwrecks. Snorkel excursions can be purchased right on the beach. There are also jet skis and banana boat rides available for hire. While you are relaxing on the beach, a refreshing drink will be served.

On the way back to the port, you will pass through the capital of the island, Bridgetown. Those not wishing to have beach time may also be returned to the ship.

Enjoy a great beach and see Barbados.
This is probably the best excursion to see and enjoy Barbados. We were taken by bus over a good amount of the island with a few scenic stops and a little time for a bit of local shopping. Then about 2 1/2 hours at a glorious beach. We were provided with an umbrella and two lounge chairs and a drink for each. The water is great for playing or swimming, and there are plenty of beach activities available if desired. Then the bus took us back to our cruise ship, which was only about 3 miles from the beach. A bar and restaurant and a beach shop and restrooms and changing rooms are right at hand.

Barbados Fun
We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide and driver were fantastic. We were really able to see the entire island! The beach we went to at the end was great and the food and drink was so good. You also could rent jet ski's or raft rides etc. We really enjoyed this tour, and this was my favorite island stop!

Barbados full day shore excursion
Perfect excursion. We had a full day in Barbados exploring the island with sufficient time at the beach. Our guide was knowledgeable and extremely patient with the questions he was asked.

Definitely would recommend.

Good tour, hard working guide, very varied, felt we saw a lot. Better than the cruise line tours that last just a few hours.
Nice ending up at a beach to relax.

Great day!
The island tour was great with many stops. The guide was excellent. After the tour we spent some time at the beach. A white-sand beach with warm water, awesome! I would highly recommend that excursion.

Good scenery and driver was good.
Very good and enjoyable tour of the more scenic areas in Barbados. Ended at a beach resort in Bridgetown just a short hop from the port. I didn't care much for that part. The beach was very crowded and you had to pay extra for the food (they did supply one drink). Given that the tour was about 5 hours and went until around 2:30pm, some kind of food should have been provided. Our driver was
