Barbados Island Paradise Sightseeing Shore Excursion
What your day looks like
Everyone wants to spend a day in paradise and Barbados is truly just that. To start your day we will journey over to the East Coast of Barbados. Our first stop will be Cherry Tree Hill with its breathtaking views of the East Coast from there we will make our way to Morgan Lewis Windmill. The windmill is of the top 100 endangered historical sites in the world. As we come down onto the coastline we will travel through Cattlewash and make a stop in Bathsheba which was named for its great beauty; it is also the location of the Soup Bowl the favorite stop for surfers in Barbados. Our next stop will be St John's Church one of the oldest churches on the island, set on a cliff and capturing spectacular views. From this gothic church, we will journey through the parish of St George past the Gun Hill signal station and the great white Lion as we make our way to the Garrison Historic area. Your tour will be for a sampling of a few Bajan treats. Our next stop will be the first British-built garrison in the West Indies at St. Ann's Fort in 1705. The garrison, which served as the regional headquarters of the British Navy, soon expanded to include barracks and a parade ground. For more than a century was the largest British Colonial garrison. The Garrison has special importance for the people of Barbados as it was here the flag of the independent nation was unfurled on 30th November 1966. On the way back to the port we will also pass through the capital of Bridgetown a UNESCO world heritage site. For the second part of your day, we will spend the afternoon at Carlisle Bay where you will enjoy beach time and be provided with a beach lounger, umbrella, and a complimentary drink along with the use of their washrooms and freshwater showers.
