ESCAPE
There’s more to Barbados
than the beaches. The
interior is dotted with
technicolour botanic
gardens – pick from Hunte’s
Garden, Andromeda, and
the Flower Forest – and
reserves like Barbados
Wildlife Reserve, where you
can spot green monkeys
and love birds. The island’s
beauty is more than skindeep,
too. Underground,
in the centre of Barbados,
there’s Harrisons Cave. You
can take a tram tour here to
see its fang-like stalactites,
underground waterfall, and
natural plunge pools.

At around 6 pm every Friday, mushroom clouds of smoke
plume into the air above Oistins Bay Garden – marking the start
of the weekly fish fry. Dozens of street food stands and shacks
are open for the event, selling jerk chicken, flying fish, mahi mahi,
and even lobster hot from the grill. Plates are always piled high,
and rum punches are served strong. Plus, ska, reggae, and
calypso music lilt out until late.

Parrotfish, trumpet fish,
and bright blue tang are
some fish species you’ll
see when you snorkel in
Barbados. Going a little
deeper beneath the
surface on a scuba dive,
you can explore shipwrecks,
see turtles, and even swim
with sharks. Carlisle Marine
Park, near Bridgetown, is
one of the top spots for
both snorkeling and scuba.
There are six shipwrecks here
that thousands of stripey
sergeant major fish and
fluorescent damsel fish call
home.
