Barbados is everything you could hope for in a Virgin Atlantic Holidays Caribbean trip (see boxout below) – glorious white-sand beaches, plenty of sunshine, warm turquoise seas, vibrant culture, a big-hearted welcome, and the kind of sunsets you’re likely to remember forever.
But look beyond the familiar, and you’ll soon discover that a holiday in Barbados is also a nature lover’s dream. There’s wildlife ranging from green monkeys and dazzlingly exotic birds to flying fish and manta rays, along with unexpected hiking trails and superb scuba diving. Pack some lightweight hiking boots and a pair of binoculars, and prepare to be wowed by another side of this tropical island paradise.
