Departure Point

Traveler pickup is offered

Because the Barbados pier is used for both cruise ships and cargo, you will most likely take a shuttle bus to the cruise terminal. On exiting the terminal you will arrive at the gate departure area. Our Excursions depart from Gate 1. A representative from Beautiful Barbados will meet you in this area. He or she will be holding a Beautiful Barbados sign and will direct you to your tour vehicle. We can't stress enough the importance of being on time for all trips.

  • Broad Street, Bridgetown, Caribbean
    Bridgetown. On the 5th of July 1628 that 64 settlers headed by Charles Wolverstone arrived. The location of Bridgetown was the most suitable place for a port. Its swampy lands however made it bad for the settlers’ health. The settlers named the town after a bridge that had been constructed by the early inhabitants of the island, the Amerindians. The Bridge of itself was called the Indian Bridge The main street Broad Street was named Broad Street as it is the broadest street in the town. In the early years the streets in town were ill kept and in 1656 legislature passed and act where persons not keeping the space in front of their property clean could be fined 100 pounds of sugar for each day of noncompliance. Bridgetown's Swamp was filled in and replaced with a canal. The lower part of the Constitution is called the Careenage. It was named the Careenage because it ships were careened on to a side to be repaired.
  • Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill, Morgan Lewis, Caribbean
    Morgan Lewis Windmill is located in the scenic hills of St. Andrew in Barbados and commands a most commanding view of the phenomenal east coast. Built in 1727, this typical wind-driven mill once crushed sugarcane to produce juice during the 18th and 19th centuries. Morgan Lewis Windmill stopped its operation in 1947 and was subsequently handed over to the Barbados National Trust for preservation as a museum. Morgan Lewis Windmill is among the World Monuments Fund list of 100 Most Endangered Sites in the World.
  • 7CF8+93C, Mount Stepney, Barbados
    Approximately 850 feet above sea-level, this spot offers an excellent view of the "Scotland District" which covers the parish of St.Andrew and is named after the Patron Saint of Scotland. It is believed that the name "Cherry Tree Hill" originated from the large number of cherry trees which once existed at this location. Today the road is lined with mahogany trees, which were introduced into Barbados after the Treaty of Paris in 1763. As you descend the hill the mahogany trees give way to swaying sugar cane.

  • Bathsheba Beach, Bathsheba, Caribbean
    Legend has it that Bathsheba, wife of King David, bathed in milk to keep her skin beautiful and soft. Legend also says that the surf covered white waters of Bathsheba, Barbados rich in minerals and life is said to resemble Bathsheba's bath in both appearance health giving value.

  • St. John's Parish Church, Caribbean
    Built in 1846 to replace the church that was destroyed by the Great Hurricane of 1831, this classic Gothic church is solid and soaring. The church grounds are serene and the cliff-edge site commands a sweeping view of the picturesque east coast. A noteworthy statue and funerary plaques add to the interest, and a small guidebook gives you details. In the churchyard rests Ferdinando Paleologus, a descendant of Emperor Constantine the Great, whose family was driven from the throne in Constantinople by the Turks. Ferdinando died here in 1678, after being a resident for over 20 years. Though always English, Barbados has attracted multinationals for quite some time.
    20 minutes
  • Gun Hill Signal Station, Caribbean
    Gun Hill is the finest of a series of signal stations built in 1818. These stations sighted ships approaching Barbados and signaled to each other, advising of the type of vessel and whether if was a friend or foe! In case of attack, the forts and soldiers could be quickly readied to defend the island. In the signal tower a chart shows just what detailed information could be relayed with the use of a few flags. The signal stations were also used to warn of slave rebellions on the island.
  • Barbados Garrison, Bridgetown, Caribbean
    The location is the Historic Garrison Savannah, close to the capital, Bridgetown. The Garrison Savannah has been the home of horse racing in Barbados since 1845. The officers of the British Regiment, who were stationed in Barbados, used what was then the parade ground to match their horses in races and the wealthy merchants and planters later joined them.

We had a wonderful tour and experience with Calvin in his large van. He gave us information about the geology, history, government, economy and much more. We did the Bajan Highlights tour and found that it kept us busy for almost 4 hours which was just what we planned. I would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see Barbados as a whole and not just a couple of tourist spots or beach day. Note - we had planned to be dropped off at a beach on the way back to the ship but changed our mind. We could have gotten an hour or so of beach time in.

Kalvin was a great host/tour guide. Very friendly and proud of his country, he took the trouble to give us lots of historical context and information about Barbados. It was real advantage to be in a small group so we could ask lots of questions too. He never rushed us and we had plenty of time to take photos. The snack stop in Bathsheba was fab - so tasty and a lovely place. Kalvin then made sure we had time at the beach too - Savvy Beach was just gorgeous. 2 of our group then went on a snorkelling outing (Boat excursion - extra cost) and two of us just chilled in the sunshine. There was a small charge for a sunbed each plus umbrella. Kalvin also got us back to the port terminal well in time as promised. Top marks.

My name is Diane Hickman, my friend Sally and I are from London, and we sailed into Barbados onboard the Rhapsody of the Seas. After being very disappointed with our booking agent who did not communicate our transportation requests to this touring company, we were greeted by a very WELL DRESSED and polite driver & tour guide who reassured us that he would take care of our travel needs to the airport after we finished our "Bajan Highlights" scenic tour. Glyne was simply fantastic. Not only was he very attentive and helpful to this frail 82 year old who was using a walking cane and was rather slow-moving, he did an excellent job in conveying his love for his country and highlighted a very deep knowledge and understanding of local history as well as international matters. He insisted we try the "Bajan" fishcakes, sorrel, and coconut bread at Dina's, our snack stop, even though I told him I wasn't feeling particularly hungry. I'm so glad we took his suggestion!! It was DELICIOUS!! The Amanda's hot sauce is also a must-try. He laughingly brushed aside my very serious serious comment that HE WAS BY FAR THE BEST TOUR GUIDE WE HAD FOR OUR ENTIRE CRUISE on our ship that had visited quite a few other islands where we did other tours and had other less informed and professional tour guides. My friend Sally and I think Glyne is a real asset to your company, and we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM and your company to anyone visiting Barbados who might be looking for a comprehensive tour coupled with a helpful and professional tour guide. Many thanks to Glyne for his caring about our situation and (afterward) taking us to the airport, removing our anxiety when we felt stranded and somewhat betrayed by our booking agent.
