This tour was created to introduce new visitors to all the beauty and charm this peaceful island has to offer.

Our day begins as we journey over to the East Coast of Barbados. Our first stop will be Cherry Tree Hill with its breathtaking scenery. From there, we'll make our way to Morgan Lewis Windmill, which is on the top 100 endangered historical sites in the world.

As we cruise down along the coastline, we'll travel through Cattle Wash and make a stop in Bathsheba, a quaint village known for its dramatic ocean-carved cliffs and home of the Soup Bowl, a favorite spot for surfers in Barbados. Our next stop will be St. Johns Church, one of the oldest churches on the island. Set on a cliff, the views from this gothic church are spectacular.

Next, we'll journey past Gun Hill Signal Station, an old military defense station, as we make our way to the Garrison Historic area. The garrison, which served as the regional headquarters of the British Navy, soon expanded to include barracks and a parade ground. The Garrison has a special importance for the people of Barbados as it was here the flag of the independent nation was unfurled on 30th November 1966.

After a morning rich in scenic beauty and history, we'll make our way over to the West Coast of the Island. Once on the West Coast, you will spend the second part of your day at Copacabana Barbados on Carlisle Bay, where you will enjoy lunch. After lunch, we'll take a boat trip to snorkel with the turtles and enjoy 90 minutes of beach time. The boat has a glass bottom for a great sea view, as well as a waterslide! At the beach, you'll be provided with a beach chair, umbrella, and a beverage.

At the end of this fascinating tour, you'll be returned to the cruise ship pier or your hotel.
