Outdoor and nature enthusiasts will be in their element here, as the island has plenty of natural wonders to offer. Take a trip to the Animal Flower Cave, located at the most northerly point of the island in the parish of St. Lucy. The name comes from the sea anemones found in the pools of the cave, some of which are deep enough to swim in. And while we’re talking about caves, don’t miss Harrison’s Cave Eco-Adventure Park, where you can take a tour by tram through its compelling, crystalline limestone caverns. This centuries-old subterranean world is filled with picturesque streams, waterfalls, and magnificent stalactite and stalagmite formations.
Spot the unique Barbados green monkey at the Barbados Wildlife Reserve, located within a natural mahogany wood forest in the parish of St. Peter. You might also catch sight of the deer, peacocks, parrots and turtles which make this beautiful park their home. For flower lovers, there are several tropical gardens, each showcasing the most beautiful local blooms, including the Flower Forest Botanical Gardens and Hunte’s Gardens.

Take a tour with your tastebuds as you sample delicious Bajan cuisine (Visit Barbados)
Last but not least, perhaps one of the best ways to get to know Barbados’ culture and history even better is through its cuisine – make sure to try its national dish, flying fish fillets served with cou-cou, a creamy blend of okra and cornmeal.
Other must-sample traditional dishes include pudding and souse, hot peppers and spices; jug-jug, a haggis-like mix of salted meat, onions, peas and cornflower; and conkies, a sweet delicacy blending cornmeal, coconut, pumpkin and sweet potato. So what are you waiting for? Take a big bite out of Barbados this summer…
