Single best Barbados recommendation for 50 year olds

[Spencer71]

What do you think is the absolute can't miss thing to do while we're in Barbados? We have never been before. We are two couples, about 50 years old and we like a variety of things, both unique and traditional, and we don't all have the same interests. If you've been before, let me know which tour operator you used. Thanks so much!

Agree with above.   You get to snorkel with the turtles.  We did Silver Moon and the lunch was also delicious.  Just be sure you are arriving in port early enough

I’m doing a silvermoonBarbados.com XL Adult lunch cruise and the email I received states to meet at terminal 1 at 8:30 sharp.  They politely state if you’re not there at 8:30 they will not wait.  I’m super excited!!

Silvermoon for us, XL Adult. We just made reservation for OCT 2024. Second time on Silvermoon.

Do you know what the difference is between the regular lunch cruise and the XL?

Think it’s sailing on a larger yacht, with more space/comfort.  With regard eats, the food is always the same high quality, with XL having a slightly larger choice of premium drinks - All drinks are premium across all sailings.

Just phoned a Bajan friend, he said SM is a beautiful 60ft dream machine….Hence XL = Extra Large

We were on NCL Viva last week. In Barbados, we took a 4-hr custom tour with CHAT Barbados. First thing our driver Fernando did was take us to a beach near St James church in Holetown to snorkel. We had some in our group itching to do this, since it hadn't worked out the previous two days. Beach had bigger waves, but it was good. Then we went to Cherry Hill for the view, then to Huntes Garden, which was good, then Fernando dropped us off at Carlisle Bay. He did a good job of the tour. He was soft-spoken, but very friendly, laid back, and knowledgable.That was amazing, we saw turtles, stingrays, and shipwrecks. We walked back to the ship, which took about 20 minutes, just arriving within a minute of the all-aboard time. What a fun day!
