Wanderlust Wednesdays: Barbados


Last week I recapped my trip to Barbados which was full of wedding fun and festivities but we also had a couple days to play tourist and explore the island so I have some must-dos to share for anyone thinking of visiting Barbados in the future. 


Cool Runnings Catamaran Cruise

This daytime lunch cruise on the Cool Runnings catamaran is a must! We started at 9:30 am and cruised along Barbados' coast stopping off to snorkel and swim. We explored a ship wreck, saw lots of colorful fish and swam with turtles. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable and provided great entertainment throughout the day. We also had a lunch buffet which was amazing and drinks kept flowing throughout the day. The rum punch was exceptional!



The Crane Beach Resort

The Crane looks like something out of a magazine. We visited this world famous resort to have lunch at the poolside restaurant and to explore the beautiful property and scenery.






Bathsheba Beach

Bathsheba sits on the east coast of Barbados and is popular among surfers for the nice waves especially in the "Soup Bowl" which brings surfers from around the world. As a visitor, it's a nice view and place to relax to take in the views.


Tapas Restaurant

We enjoyed an ocean-front dinner with friends at Tapas. The Spanish style tapas menu didn't disappoint and the service was exceptional. Although it was too dark outside to enjoy the oceanfront scenery, the sound of the waves crashing made for a good ambiance.




Accra Beach




Accra Deck Restaurant

We enjoyed an amazing Sunday breakfast buffet over looking the beach and ocean at the Accra Deck located at the Accra Beach Hotel.





I can't wait to return to Barbados in the future. It's seriously a gorgeous island with lots of Caribbean charm, good food, and friendly locals.

    Barbados is so gorgeous! I'm always up for being on the water, so that boat cruise sounds fantastic. :)

    We went on a catamaran when we went to Hawaii, and it was an absolute blast! It sounds like y'all had a fun time on the one in Barbados too! I love tapas restaurants because you have the opportunity to try so many different things, and I don't think you can beat eating tapas on the beach! It sounds like you had the best time exploring Barbados on your trip!

    We always love to do something on a boat if we can - your cruise looks great! As do those fabulous pools and the whole resort.

    You know, after all this time, I’ve still not eaten at Tapas. I did go to The Crane last time and it was delicious.
    My mom and I like to go up to The Crane for the day but I won’t go in the ocean, wayyyyyy too rough there and about a week before we got there two years ago, I think it was two but might’ve been just one, two locals drown there. I’ll go up on the rocks and take photos where they jump off but that’s it. Lol!

    We seriously need to meet up in July and I hope it’s not when I’m down south.
