rum distillery, Mount Gay. A tour of the distillery is a walk through 350 years of history. Using traditional techniques, workers ply their trade crushing sugar cane in the 1890 steam mill to release the juice that will be made into the finest Barbadian rum. To fully appreciate the depth and beauty of St. Nicholas Abbey, take a classic train ride that circumnavigates the property, or one of their guided walking tours. Knowledgeable hosts will take you through the house, sharing their insight of the plantation’s past and present. One of the best ways to explore Barbados is to see it from the sea. On the water, you witness the beauty of the landscape from a different perspective and get a sense for what makes the island so unique. The best way to spend time at sea is to book a morning or afternoon cruise aboard Cat & The Fiddle Catamaran. Leaving from the Port of Bridgetown, the cruise highlights luxurious surroundings and plenty of space for guests to relax and feel the ocean breeze. The 62 ft. Lagoon Luxury Catamaran offers two unique sitting areas; the main deck with its outdoor seating and indoor
dining/lounging space, and the upper deck with additional sunshine spots or the option to relax and spend quality time seated with the captain. The cruise follows a route along the west or south coast of Barbados, passing by some of the island’s most stunning beaches and landmarks. You’ll get to see picturesque coves, cliffs, and maybe even spot marine life such as sea turtles and dolphins. A scheduled stop provides the opportunity to put on some flippers, a mask and goggles and swim with schools of fish, while exploring the remnants of a long-lost sunken ship. The Caribbean waters are warm and clear, especially this close to shore. Guides provide instruction on where to look while keeping everyone within easy distance of the ship. With a deeper appreciation for the beauty surrounding Barbados, the anchor is released and the catamaran heads back into open water. Few things rival the thrill of sails flapping in the breeze and the splash of salt water on your face. The opportunities for dining out in Barbados are almost endless.
