The vibrant coral reefs and exotic marine life of Barbados are even more spectacular by night. On this tour, hop aboard the Atlantis Submarine and discover the wonders of the ocean on a thrilling nocturnal tour.

Some cruises can feel crowded and anything but relaxing—but this small-group catamaran adventure is capped at a limited number of guests, creating an intimate, laidback atmosphere from start to finish.

With breakfast, lunch, and drinks included, there’s nothing to plan or pack—just step aboard and enjoy a day on the water.

Swap the crowds on land for the calm late-afternoon waters off Bridgetown on this sunset sail. Snack on canapes, sip drinks from a premium bar, and make two snorkel stops—where you are likely to see turtles and tropical fish—then enjoy the golden spectacle of the sun setting into the Caribbean Sea. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included between Speightstown and Oistins. Children under four are not permitted.

Combine some of Barbados' top attractions on a single half-day tour. Take a tram tour through Harrison's Cave, then enjoy some beach time at Carlisle Bay. Hop on a boat ride in Carlisle Bay, where you can swim in the local sea turtles' habitat.

Add glamour to your Barbados vacation and experience crowd-free island views you can’t replicate unless you're on an expensive private charter with this deluxe, shared-group cataraman cruise. Settle aboard a skippered catamaran and drink in the views over the palm-fringed coast on route. Sip a glass of prosecco, swim and snorkel around sea turtles and a fish-filled shipwreck; and savor a gourmet lunch before sailing back.
