Taste the real Barbados

Head to Oistins for the Fish Fry, a lip-smackingly good feast of (you guessed it) fish, freshly cooked at a jumble of beachside stalls. Friday night is party night. 

And they're off

Take your family and join the locals for horse racing at the Garrison Savannah. Soak up the atmosphere in the stands, or chill out at the side of the track. 

Find your perfect beach spot

With over 80 beaches to discover, whether you're looking for the perfect spot to chill, surf, dive or sip on a rum punch, you'll find your paradise in Barbados. Try Bathsheba Beach for out-of-this-world scenery or Rockley Beach for cool beach bars.

Hop on a catamaran

A catamaran boat tour will show you a different side of the island. Grab a snorkel and you might spy the local sea turtles, or head down to deep to explore a shipwreck from times gone by. Stay onboard into the evening to watch the sunset, there's nothing like it.

Have a Bajan adventure

Make like an explorer with a National Trust hike through the Barbados most people don't get to see. If you're feeling daring, you can even do it by moonlight.
