At 21 miles long and 14 miles wide, Barbados is a small and perfectly formed vision of pure Caribbean paradise. This is a place of upbeat welcomes, radiant seas, sandy beaches, golden palms, and thick gleaming rainforest – the quintessential island idyll. It’s also a place where private gardens blossom, lilies and heliconias burst vibrantly out of the undergrowth, and species of orchid thrive in their thousands. Escape the bustle of mainland life, and channel your inner castaway. Your rum punch cocktail awaits...

This colourful tour really does have something for everyone. Picture gazing across the sweeping vistas of Cherry Tree Hill, enjoying a ride on the heritage railway at St Nicholas Abbey Plantation and exploring the George Washington House, an important remnant of the island’s plantation past.

At Hunte’s Garden we are excited to be accompanied by the man himself, owner and creator Anthony Hunte, who introduces us to his multidimensional mix of dark native jungle and sunny open spaces, one of the island’s top destinations. There is also an optional excursion on offer, a relaxing cruise on a catamaran.
