For a small island Barbados is famed for so many things, from cricket to soft sandy beaches; from the celebrity holidaymakers to the friendly locals. This island is so varied you’ll easily make it your own on a bespoke, Barbados family holiday.
If you’re the parent to a water baby, Barbados is a wonderful place to let them enjoy their passion. Swimming with turtles is an absolute ‘must’, while a catamaran cruise provides a great adventure for the whole family. Board the pirate-themed Jolly Roger and sail up the west coast with drinks and snacks served on board; but parents be careful, just in case you need to walk the plank! Also highly recommended is a trip on the Atlantis Submarine; a 66-foot underwater vessel that dives 150 feet to the bottom of the ocean, providing spectacular views of beautiful coral gardens, shipwrecks, tropical fish and sea turtles.
These are just a few of the amazing family-friendly hotels and activities that await on Barbados, and at the Inspiring Travel company we pride ourselves on being experts on the island so if any new family facilities are introduced we’ll know. In fact, we have a dedicated team on the island, constantly on-hand to make sure your family have the perfect holiday.
