Highlights
BEACHES
Barbados has some of the best white-sand beaches in the Caribbean. Experience one through a ship’s tour.
GUN HILL SIGNAL STATION
Gun Hill Signal Station provides a magnificent view of a large part of the island. It is the finest of a series of signal stations, built in 1818. These stations sighted ships approaching Barbados and signalled to each other in warning of the approaching vessel.
ORCHID WORLD
Spans over 6 acres of land, some 800 feet above sea level. Meander through the beautiful outcrops of coral, rock gardens, cool shady gullies and ponds and be fascinated by the beautiful orchid plants growing in mid-air with their roots completely free of any soil.
SUNBURY PLANTATION HOUSE
The house was built over 300 years ago by Matthew Chapman, one of the first settlers on the island. One of the country’s best collections of antiques can be found here, along with the largest collection of antique horse carriages in the Caribbean.
