Independent Exploration

Having settled on your where to stay, the next step is planning how to explore the island. We highly recommend renting a car and setting off! Head through the lush countryside; stop to see local potters crafting their wares; pop in the colourful rum shops for the best Barbados rum, Banks beer and local chatter, and maybe directions to your next stop; discover historic homes; gaze out over tropical forest to the azure ocean; sit by the boardwalk and watch the sun dip gently into the ocean. Your holiday can unfold however you wish when you're an independent minded traveler not bound by travel groups and hotel rules.

One must-do exploration on the island is St. Nicholas Abbey, a fully restored 17th century plantation and one of only three genuine Jacobean mansions in the Western Hemisphere! A Free tour of St. Nicholas Abbey and the rum factory is included in the special heritage Package at Settlers Beach for Independent Minded travellers.

Be sure to stop at a local fish market to pick up the catch of the day. Roadside stands and farmers markets provide the seasonings and side dishes for a truly delicious meal you can prepare back at your island home. The fishermen, fish mongers and vegetable vendors will provide helpful cooking tips if you ask. This video shows just how exciting it can be to explore freely and experience the true local culture:
