The easternmost of all the Caribbean islands, Barbados is uniquely
situated so as to avoid virtually all hurricanes. Its 166 square miles
of forests, cliffs, fishing villages, wildlife, nightlife, and, of
course beaches are surrounded by miles of coral reef teeming with an
incredible array of sea life and shipwrecks. Some of the best sailing in
the Caribbean is here, with southeasterly trade winds to carry you
across the water. This is a land rich in history and culture, with an
abundance of wildlife, beauty and nature.
There
are only four guidebooks on the island and most are badly out-of-date.

where to find the best Bajan music, classes that will teach you the
local cooking and artistic styles, Other guides are mostly out of date.
None takes the Adventure Guide perspective that this one does, immersing
you in the local culture and in the active things to do on the island.
