Barbados Small-Group or Private Garden & Wildlife Half-Day Tour

Summary

Meet your guide and a small group on arrival at Barbados cruise ship port, then soak up the scenery as you climb into the central highlands. The first stop of the day is Harrison's Cave, a magnificent underground cavern formed out of crystallized limestone. Ride the purpose-built tramway through the caves, passing cascading waterfalls, emerald-green lagoons, and a dramatic array of stalagmites and stalactites. Back above ground, choose to visit one of the island’s most impressive botanical gardens – either stroll through lush rain forest at the Hunte's Gardens, or explore the Flower Forest, filled with tropical plants and flowers. You can’t tour Barbados without visiting the beach, so the next stop will be Bathsheba beach, a tranquil sandy beach fringed with palm trees and renowned for its surf. After re-fuelling with a tasty Caribbean-style lunch (included) at a local restaurant, continue to the final stop of the day – the Barbados Wildlife Reserve. Spend time admiring the exotic wildlife, including parrots, flamingos, iguanas, and turtles, and don’t miss the adorable Green Monkeys. Your tour ends with drop-off at the port in time for your cruise departure.
