The colourful mysteries of Barbados will inspire exploration. The Baobao tree in Queen's Park is an enduring secret of the island. It is more than one thousand years old, yet native to Africa, not the Caribbean. Or visit the Christ Church Parish Church to hear about the "Great Coffin Mystery". 

The history of our small island will tempt you further. View the sea from the manicured lawns of our plantation houses, or shop for souvenirs in the centuries-old, brightly painted chattel homes. Take a break from the sun, and step into our cool parks and forests for an afternoon. The Barbadian green monkey lives here, as do tortoises, agoutis and many more animals.

Discover an island of dreams, an intimate respite from the day-to-day you'll always remember. Follow sandy beaches and turquoise Caribbean waters to the west, rugged coastline to the north, pounding Atlantic surf to the east, and grassy sugar cane fields surrounding historic Great House Plantations. You'll also find quaint villages and cosmopolitan Bridgetown, museums and landmarks, and unparalleled sights amidst wildlife reserves, flower forests and fields with gullies.
