Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between these three tours?
Choose Lunch & Scenic Drive if you want a relaxed, unhurried experience with a proper meal included—perfect for foodies and couples.
Choose Highlights Tour if you’re visiting Barbados for the first time and want to see everything in one day at the best value—ideal for solo travelers and budget-conscious explorers.
Choose Private Tour if you’re traveling with family, have specific interests, or want complete control over timing and stops—best for groups and photographers.
Are these tours wheelchair accessible?
The Lunch & Scenic Drive and Private Tour are not wheelchair accessible due to the nature of the cave site and terrain. The Highlights Tour is stroller accessible and near public transport, making it suitable for most travelers. If you have specific mobility concerns, please contact the operator after booking to discuss accommodations.
What’s the cancellation policy?
All three tours offer free cancellation through Viator up to a specified cut-off time before the tour (typically 24 hours). Check the specific tour page for exact cancellation deadlines. This gives you peace of mind when booking in advance.
Where do the tours pick me up?
Hotels: Most major hotels and resorts have pickup included. You’ll receive confirmation of exact pickup time after booking.
Villas/Airbnb: For the Lunch & Scenic Drive tour, you may need to meet at a nearby location. For Highlights and Private tours, island-wide pickup is available—just provide your exact location when booking.
Cruise passengers: Pickup from the cruise port is available for Highlights and Private tours.
Is lunch included?
Lunch & Scenic Drive: Yes, sit-down lunch at Animal Flower Cave restaurant is included.
Highlights Tour: No, but a lunch stop is provided (typically in Speightstown) where you can purchase your own meal. Snacks and drinks are included in the cooler.
Private Tour: No, lunch is at your own expense, but your guide will recommend excellent local spots and you can take as long as you want.
Can I swim at Animal Flower Cave?
Swimming in the natural pools at Animal Flower Cave is subject to ocean conditions and safety considerations on the day of your visit. The Atlantic side can have strong currents and waves. Your guide or the cave staff will advise if swimming is safe. Even if you can’t swim, the views alone are spectacular and worth the visit!
What if I get motion sickness on winding roads?
Barbados has some winding, bumpy roads, especially in coastal and rural areas. If you’re prone to motion sickness, we recommend taking preventive medication before the tour. All vehicles are air-conditioned which helps. For the Private Tour, you can request more frequent stops. The operator charges a cleaning fee if someone gets sick in the vehicle, so please come prepared.
Do I need to tip the guide?
Gratuities are not included but are appreciated if you enjoyed your experience. A typical tip is 10-15% of the tour cost for excellent service, though any amount is welcome. Cash is preferred (Barbadian or US dollars).
Why do prices vary by date?
Tour prices fluctuate based on demand, season, and availability—similar to hotel and flight pricing. Peak tourist season (December-April) typically has higher prices than low season (summer months). Always check the live Viator calendar for current rates on your preferred travel dates.
Can I customize the Private Tour itinerary?
Absolutely! That’s the whole point. While there’s a recommended route covering popular highlights, you can adjust it completely. Want to spend 2 hours at Bathsheba for photography? Skip a garden to visit more beaches? Explore your Bajan heritage sites? Just discuss with your guide. The only limit is the 6-7 hour timeframe.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Tours operate in most weather conditions, as Barbados typically has brief tropical showers rather than all-day rain. However, if conditions are unsafe (especially at Animal Flower Cave where Atlantic waves can be dangerous), the operator may modify the itinerary or reschedule. You’ll be contacted if any changes are necessary.
How many people will be in my group?
Lunch & Scenic Drive: Shared small group tour (size varies).
Highlights Tour: Maximum 4 passengers—truly small and intimate.
Private Tour: Only your group (vehicle seats up to 12 people).
