Outdoor Attractions

While there's an abundance of water activities, from windsurfing to sailing and everything in between, Barbados also has a beautiful wildlife that is a must see for any visitor. Consider visiting theBarbados Wildlife Reserve which is down the road from Farley Hill National Park. Get an up close look at the exotic birds, monkeys, and more in their natural habitat.
