Overview

Are you ready for a fun-filled day exploring Barbados? Your adventure begins at the Barbados Wildlife Reserve, where you’ll watch the playful green monkeys being fed by the reserve staff during their mid-morning snack. Once the monkeys have swung through the trees, we’ll head to Cherry Tree Hill for breathtaking views across the Scotland District.
From there, enjoy a scenic drive along the east coast to Bathsheba, a world-famous surfers’ paradise, before making your way to the calm waters of Carlisle Bay. Here, you’ll have time to relax on the beach before boarding Tranquility Cruises for an 80-minute cruise featuring swimming with sea turtles and snorkeling around a shipwreck.
To finish the day with a splash, take a thrilling ride down Tranquility’s waterslide into the crystal-clear waters of Carlisle Bay. After your cruise, you’ll be comfortably returned to the cruise ship port.

Cherry Tree Hill

Rising approximately 850 feet above sea level, Cherry Tree Hill offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in Barbados. From this scenic vantage point, visitors can admire the rolling landscape of the Scotland District, a unique region that covers much of the parish of St. Andrew. The district is named after Scotland's patron saint because its rugged hills and valleys reminded early Scottish settlers of their homeland.It is believed that the name Cherry Tree Hill originated from the abundance of cherry trees that once grew in this area. Today, the road is lined with majestic West Indian mahogany trees, introduced to Barbados following the Treaty of Paris in 1763. As the journey descends upon the hill, the towering mahogany gradually gives way to expansive fields of swaying sugar cane, creating one of the island's most picturesque and memorable landscapes.

Bathsheba Beach

Bathsheba, located on Barbados’ rugged east coast, is one of the island’s most scenic coastal villages, famous for its dramatic landscapes, powerful Atlantic waves, and distinctive coral rock formations. According to local tradition, the village was named after the biblical Bathsheba, whose legendary milk baths were said to resemble the white, foaming surf at the famous Soup Bowl. Today, Bathsheba is recognized internationally as one of Barbados’ top surfing destinations, attracting surfers from around the world with its strong Atlantic swells. The area is also popular with photographers, sightseers, and nature lovers who come to admire its breathtaking coastline and refreshing ocean breezes. Despite its popularity, Bathsheba has preserved the charm of a traditional Barbadian fishing village, with colorful seaside cottages and a peaceful atmosphere that showcases the island’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
