Bridgetown, Barbados
About This Stop
Barbados gave us one last sunny adventure before crossing the Atlantic. The family split again, with some heading out to sea for an unforgettable snorkeling excursion while others set off on foot to find the perfect beach spot. From sea turtles to sandy toes, it was a day of contrasts, laughter, and island charm.
Andrew, Tyler, Aubrey, and Grandpa boarded a sleek catamaran for a five-hour luxury cruise along Barbados' stunning coastline. They relaxed on deck with sunshine, cool drinks, and amazing views of palm-fringed beaches stretching along the Caribbean shore. The catamaran anchored in a quiet bay where they had free time to swim, snorkel, or simply relax onboard while taking in the tropical paradise surrounding them.
The group enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch with a complimentary glass of wine, savoring both the food and the incredible ocean views. The real highlight came when they sailed to a second location specifically chosen for snorkeling with sea turtles. The gentle waves, crystal-clear water, and friendly turtles created an unforgettable experience that became one of the standout moments of the entire trip. Swimming alongside these graceful creatures in their natural habitat was both magical and humbling.
Meanwhile, Bryan, Madison, and Kennedy chose a different kind of adventure, setting off on foot from the port and walking what they described as "a mile through the ghetto" to reach a public beach. This impromptu walking tour gave them a genuine glimpse into local life and neighborhoods that most cruise passengers never see. Once they found their destination, they discovered a shady umbrella and settled into a peaceful stretch of sand that felt like their own private retreat.
The beach group spent their morning in blissful relaxation, swimming in the warm Caribbean waters and soaking in the tropical views. This quiet, simple morning delivered exactly what they needed before the long days at sea that lay ahead. The contrast between the luxury catamaran experience and the authentic local beach walk perfectly captured the diverse ways to enjoy this beautiful Caribbean island, ensuring that everyone found their ideal version of a perfect Barbados day.
