Barbados / Special Interests / Island Tours

Barbados offers a surprisingly varied amount of tour options and the island’s good roads and compact size make it easy to get around. The varied regions, from the hilly Scotland area in the north to the plush surroundings of the upscale West Coast and the rugged, untamed beauty of the Atlantic east coast make for an interesting day out. There is a good choice of companies that offer set tours or tailor-made options for visitors wanting to explore. For an exclusive island tour or shore excursion contact St James Travel & Tours, who will tailor make a trip with one of their well-informed drivers, in the comfort of an air-conditioned private taxi or Mercedes.
