Getting around Barbados

Trekking around such a small island has its benefits. The sheer simplicity of transportation makes your travel to Barbados one of ease. Taxis are pretty easy to find, especially if you look around entrances to hotels, where lines form and an order ensures you a ride. Rates are usually low, but it’s always a good idea to set a price or to learn the flat rate before you choose a ride. For those who prefer riding privately, rental cars are available at more of an expense, and luckily, parking lots and gas stations are much more available than on most other Caribbean islands.

Bikes and mopeds are available and an easy choice for sporadic day trips with frequent stops. Competing budget bus lines are reliably low on cost and branch to a host of destinations, insuring that riders have adequate opportunity to explore. With all the available choices, rest assure that your flight to Barbados is only the start of your transportation experience.

Barbados Travel Information

• Scuba Diving: With over 25 sites to dive on the west coast of Barbados alone, diving opportunities are abundant and versatile. Beginners gear toward the Spawnee area, while more experienced divers head for the North point Light House, where it’s easy to avoid weekend crowds. Just north of Bridgetown, it’s an easy addition to your Barbados travel plan. At Brightledge, you’ll see the largest variety of fish, including Moray Eels, Nurse Sharks, and the occasional Manta Ray. In waters as deep as 100 feet, scenery is anything but scarce, so be sure to check out the beautiful coral reefs, as well as the historic sunken ships like the Stavronikita and the Pamir.
• Architecture: Although bumming around the beach has its perks, when you’re tired of the waves and sandy catnaps, stroll through another element of beauty that will immediately add an unexpected vigor to your Barbados travel. Victorian homes, artistic hotels, and wooden chattel houses are among the grand human made artifacts that your travel to Barbados has to offer. Golf courses are immersed in immaculately manicured lawns, and the polo field at Garrison Savannah is an athlete’s haven. Sixteenth century Italian sculptures add to the mix in this eclectic combination of aesthetics.
• Pottery: In a creative mood? Embrace the island spirit pumping through your veins as you surround yourself with the organic conceptions of pottery. Each piece reflects the nature of the shore – both land and sea inspirations shine through the bright colors, smooth textures, and thoughtful ideas. Be careful packing on your return Barbados flight, though – these gifts look better unbroken.
• Nightlife: A cocktail or two on your flight to Barbados can’t hold a candle to one at a dinner show, club, or bar. Dinner shows display the history and culture of the island and offer the opportunity to experience and enjoy Barbadian cuisine. Clubs are splattered across St. Lawrence and Bay Street, creating a strip of live calypso and reggae beats. Harbor Lights, a well known bar, wins over tourists with its open-air beachfront atmosphere and deals on certain nights of the week.
