Barbados is a coral island, pushed out of sea by volcanic activity in a far away time. On the West Coast of Barbados,  coral shore beaches of fine white sand stretch along a blue-green sea. Coral reefs fringe the Barbados shoreline to provide excellent snorkeling and Scuba Diving.  Along the East Coast a lively surf is blown briskly by the strong and constant trade winds and the waves pound against a  rocky shore. The constant breeze of the trade winds give Barbados a mild and pleasant tropical climate.

Barbados is mostly a flat coral island with excellent beaches, but there are rolling hills and many deep ridges and gullies, with an interesting  distribution of flora and fauna. Within the Barbados coral core there is a vast array of caves and underground lakes which provide an excellent supply of  drinking water that is amongst the purest in the world.  Geologically Barbados is unique, being actually two land masses that merged together over the years. This and other anomalies make Barbados quite phenomenal, and there are geological structures that you will find only in Barbados. 

Horticulture enthusiasts should not miss a visit to the The Flower Forest and Orchid World.

High tea and cricket in the afternoons remains a tradition on the very British island of Barbados, also called the "Little England" of the Caribbean. The Bajan landscape, with its breathtaking panoramas of ocean and valleys, and endless pink- and white-sand beaches, is one of the most majestic in the Southern Caribbean. Barbados is the perfect setting for snorkeling in turquoise waters, touring historic sites or taking in a round of golf.
