Seeing Barbados From a New Perspective

The island nation of Barbados has long been a prime destination for holiday-makers looking for sunny skies and sandy beaches. But there’s a lot more to do on this friendly island than just top up your tan whilst sipping your favourite cocktail.

How does a bit of scuba diving sound? There are several diving tour operators who will take you anywhere from the barrier reef located just a couple of miles offshore to one of the many wreck sites to be found dotted around the island. Our very own Diving Holidays site can help you to arrange this!

If taking to the air sounds more like your cup of tea, you can get a bird’s-eye view of Barbados’ pink beaches, lush vegetation and crystal blue waters by booking a helicopter tour with Horizon Helicopters. They also offer a romantic sunset champagne tour for a truly memorable experience.

A truly intrepid traveller might think scuba diving and helicopters are a bit run-of-the-mill, so how about seeing Barbados from under the waves? Atlantis Submarines offer an award-winning voyage on a real submarine, giving passengers a unique glimpse into the underwater world surrounding the island. The fully-narrated voyage takes you along the island’s coral reef, where sea horses, giant sand eels and many other exotic fish dwell.

Flights to Barbados operate from every major UK airport, including Manchester, where service is provided by Virgin Atlantic, Thomson Airways and Thomas Cook Airlines. If you live further south, a longer journey to Manchester may still be worthwhile, as flights can be cheaper than from Gatwick or Heathrow, plus you can save on the extras like Manchester Airport parking – more cash in the pocket for your holiday!

There is also a wealth of Barbados hotels and resorts to choose from, whether you’re looking for a romantic retreat or family-friendly accommodation.

So if you’re looking for an island paradise with activities both exciting and relaxing, Barbados ticks all the boxes!
