with a full range of sea conditions year round - from flat calm Caribbean sea on the west coast to pounding surf of the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Barbados perpetually enjoys superb conditions for just about every water sport at all levels. When combined with our crystal clear, warm waters and constant Northeast Trade Winds, surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, stand-up paddle boarding, sailing, snorkeling, diving, game fishing, open water swimming - can all be enjoyed here - whenever you visit. Sailing along the coast is a must-do experience, especially when it includes a chance to swim with turtles and snorkel over coral reefs and shipwrecks! If you want to see the intriguing underwater world of Barbados, go scuba diving, or if you prefer to stay dry, you can go out in air conditioned comfort on the Atlantis Submarine, either by day or night.

Adventure in Barbados

Hunteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gardens Baby green monkey Deep sea fishing Sailing on a Silver Moon catamaran

Discover

the meaning of adrenaline as you zoom along in a safari jeep through forest trails, fly over the island in a Microlight aircraft, careen across sea cliffs on a segway or test your skill around the leading circuit-racing facility in the English-speaking Caribbean. You might also meander through four tropical gardens, take a stroll alongside some monkeys or take a swim in sea caves that open out to the Atlantic Ocean. Roaming around working potteries, exploring underground streams, driving through vast stalactite filled caves, sampling rum in a refinery or exploring the cockpit of a supersonic aircraft - sounds like fun? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that, and so much more to do, in the small island of Barbados!
