Wildlife Encounter & Beach Day

About this activity

Begin your day at the Barbados Wildlife Reserve, where you can watch the playful green monkeys during their morning feeding time. You’ll also see red-footed tortoises, peacocks, and other fascinating wildlife.

Continue to the scenic Cherry Tree Hill and historic Morgan Lewis for wonderful photo opportunities before heading to Bathsheba, a beautiful coastal village and surfer’s paradise. Here, enjoy a delicious Barbadian lunch featuring some of our favorite local dishes.

After lunch, take some time to admire Bathsheba’s dramatic coastline before we make our way to the calm waters of Carlisle Bay, one of the Caribbean’s most spectacular beaches. With soft white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, it’s the perfect place to unwind. Soak up the sunshine, take a refreshing dip in the sea, or relax comfortably on a sunbed beneath a shared umbrella while enjoying the beauty of Barbados.

Itinerary

  1. Barbados Wildlife Reserve

    45 min Admission included

    The Barbados Wildlife Reserve offers visitors the chance to experience the island’s wildlife in a peaceful, natural environment beneath towering mahogany trees. Historic red brick pathways, once part of Barbados’ sugar industry, add a unique historical charm to the reserve. Its most famous residents are the playful Barbados Green Monkeys, whose coats can appear green in certain light. Visitors can also see free-roaming tortoises, deer, peacocks, iguanas, parrots, and other native animals living in spacious surroundings. Ideal for families, photographers, and nature lovers, the reserve encourages guests to explore at a relaxed pace while learning about Barbados’ rich biodiversity and ongoing conservation efforts. Combining history, wildlife, and scenic beauty, it provides an enjoyable and educational experience for visitors of all ages.

  2. Bathsheba Beach

    15 min

    Bathsheba, located on Barbados’ rugged east coast, is one of the island’s most scenic coastal villages, famous for its dramatic landscapes, powerful Atlantic waves, and distinctive coral rock formations. According to local tradition, the village was named after the biblical Bathsheba, whose legendary milk baths were said to resemble the white, foaming surf at the famous Soup Bowl. Today, Bathsheba is recognized internationally as one of Barbados’ top surfing destinations, attracting surfers from around the world with its strong Atlantic swells. The area is also popular with photographers, sightseers, and nature lovers who come to admire its breathtaking coastline and refreshing ocean breezes. Despite its popularity, Bathsheba has preserved the charm of a traditional Barbadian fishing village, with colorful seaside cottages and a peaceful atmosphere that showcases the island’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
