Top 7 Hidden Gems in Barbados You Can Visit on a Private Island Tour
There’s so much more to Barbados than beaches and resorts. On a private island tour, you can explore hidden spots that most group tours skip entirely. Here are seven of my favourite local treasures that showcase the real Barbados.
1. Animal Flower Cave – The Island’s Northern Wonder
This sea cave is a must-see, with crystal pools, rugged cliffs, and incredible ocean views. Visit in the morning for the best light.
2. Bathsheba – Surfer’s Paradise on the East Coast
Famous for its rock formations and surf, Bathsheba is where locals come to relax and take in the wild beauty of the Atlantic side.
3. Hunte’s Gardens – A Peaceful Tropical Escape
Nestled in a lush gully, this garden is a feast for the senses, filled with exotic plants and birds.
4. Cherry Tree Hill – A View to Remember
Enjoy sweeping views of the Scotland District and rolling green hills—a perfect photo stop on your island tour.
5. St. Nicholas Abbey – History and Rum
Visit one of the Caribbean’s oldest plantation houses, where you can taste locally made rum and see the island’s heritage up close.
6. Bottom Bay – The Secret Beach
Tucked away on the southeast coast, this secluded cove is framed by palm trees and turquoise water—a true postcard spot.
7. Oistins Fish Fry – The Ultimate Bajan Experience
If you’re on the island on a Friday night, don’t miss Oistins. Great food, music, and friendly people—this is Barbados at its best.
A private taxi tour means you set the pace. Stop for a swim, grab a local lunch, or linger where you love.
