Description
Depending on where your pick up point is on the island, this tour will take you along historic Bridgetown and the Garrison, which is now a World Heritage Site. Head north from here along the western coast, known by the locals as the Platinum Coast because of the number of million-dollar homes in the area.
Holetown, the next site of interest, was the first British settlement and the St. James Anglican Church, is built on the site of the first place of worship in Barbados. As you leave the west coast and travel to the northern tip of the island, at this stop you will see crashing waves against the cliff.
You then head off to St. Nicholas Abbey Plantation. Enjoy a tour of the plantation house and its rum distillery. You’ll have a chance to taste their magnificent non-blended rum. You will then stop for lunch and drink at a local restaurant.
Continue east along the shoreline and experience the full force of the Atlantic Ocean crashing onto the island. At breathtaking Bathsheba you’ll see the famous surfing spot known as the Soup Bowl. This is a surfers’ paradise, featuring mushroom-shaped boulders offshore.
