Spring Break: Barbados


From diving the artificial reef formed by a sunken ship at Folkestone Marine Park to surfing power waves at Soup Bowl on the Atlantic, Barbados especially appeals to water sports enthusiasts. If you'd prefer to stay dry, discover the sea by riding Atlantis Submarines (kids must be at least three feet tall). Amazing stalactites, stalagmites, and waterfalls make Harrison's Cave Barbados's most popular attraction; however, Flower Forest, home to giant tropical blooms, monkeys, and birds, rivals it for natural beauty. Families can watch polo or potters at work and swim with protected sea turtles on commercial snorkel tours.

Harrison’s Cave
At the heart of Barbados lies one of its greatest wonders, Harrison’s Cave. Located in the central uplands of the island, this breathtakingly beautiful, crystallized limestone cavern is a testament to nature’s mastery. Flowing streams, deep pools of crystal clear water and towering columns characterize this living cave. Gaze in wonder at the white flow stones and in awe at the beauty of the speleothems which adorn the cave. 

Hunte's Gardens
The magnificent Hunte's Gardens are located in the lush countryside of Barbados in the parish of St. Joseph. These gardens have been lovingly nurtured in a naturally formed gully and feature an array of tropical flowers, trees and foliage. Through the gardens you'll find statues, antiques and other beautiful decorative pieces that add to this amazing experience. Here you meander along the pathways, stopping as you wish along the way, and spotting the local birds and animals that love this place as much as you will. 

Crane Beach
Crane Beach, originally a harbour, is considered by many to be one of the island's most beautiful beaches. In fact, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous rated it as "one of the ten best beaches in the world".  The name "Crane" was derived from the large crane situated at the top of the cliff which was used for loading and unloading ships. The Crane Resort & Residences, standing on the cliff above the beach, has been a favorite with honeymooners since it opened in 1867.
