About Barbados

Why visit Barbados?

Barbados is an island in the eastern Caribbean. Most resorts sit on the calm west coast, with its Caribbean bays, or on the south coast, home to St Lawrence Gap and Oistins, while the Atlantic east coast is rugged and better for walks than swimming. The capital, Bridgetown, has a historic centre and garrison area, and packages from Canada fly into Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI).

Canadian vacation packages to Barbados combine a return flight and a resort stay. Several travel sites sell the same resorts, so the total for identical dates can differ from one site to the next. TripRadr shows those totals side by side, and you book on the site you prefer.

  • Two resort coastsCalm bays on the west coast and livelier beaches on the south coast.
  • History and cultureHistoric Bridgetown and its garrison, plantation houses and rum distilleries.
  • On the waterCatamaran trips, snorkelling and diving off the west and south coasts.
