Barbados Wildlife Reserve

The Barbados Wildlife Reserve lies in an enclosed area under a canopy of mahogany trees with winding red brick pathways beneath. 

The most popular animal at the Reserve is The Barbados green monkey. The monkey has brown and grey thick fur that has yellow and olive green flecks in it as an adult. In some lights, the monkey can appear green. This is why they are called green monkeys. Barbados green monkeys generally live in groups of fifteen to twenty. Within a family group, males gain their dominance by their size, strength and their ability to fight. Females, however, get their rank by the size of their families. Most infants are born during April and May in Barbados.

Carlisle Bay is a crescent-shaped bay located on the South West Coast of Barbados and is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. On most days Carlisle Bay boasts calm turquoise waters with no undertow, delicately lapping on the soft white sand. Under the surface of the sea Carlisle Bay comes alive with vibrant tropical fish in abundance, sea horses, sea turtles, octopus, rays, and much more! This unique array of marine life is due in part to the six different shipwrecks in the water as shallow as 12ft. The wrecks are obviously another important contributor to the popularity of Carlisle Bay. For those seeking an adventure, you will not be disappointed with the sight of these sunken treasures.

This Bay  is beloved bay in Barbados loved by Bajan and visitors alike.

Looking for something different?

The attractions featured above are the carefully selected stops included on our scheduled group tours. These experiences tend to appeal to the widest range of visitors and are among the island’s most popular and requested attractions.

 

But Barbados has so much more to discover.

 

Below, we have highlighted a selection of other attractions and places of interest that we believe are well worth a visit. While these locations are not included on our regular scheduled group tours, this should certainly not be taken to mean that they are any less deserving of your time. They simply do not attract the same level of general interest required for inclusion on a shared group itinerary.

 

In fact, sometimes it is the places you least expect that leave the biggest impression. One or two of these lesser-visited attractions may just become your favourite part of Barbados.

Walkers Reserve

626c04e8ed1f6f347d0c0d92_Walkers-Reserve,-South-Lake.jpeg

The Walkers Institute for Regenerative Research and Design (WIRRED) was born out of the restoration of Walkers Sand Quarry. For more than 50 years, the McNeel family provided an abundance of silica sand to the nation of Barbados while managing to steward and protect one of the largest native beach-side forests on the island. Since 1968 the quarry’s extracted silica sand has been used in nearly every building project across Barbados. But as the construction industry exhausts the sand supply, a new story is emerging — one of biodiversity, ecological health, and regeneration. We invite you to be driven along winding trails as a knowledgeable tour guide shares information with you on the various flora and fauna found on the Reserve as well as history of Barbados and Walkers, and our path to Regenerating Walkers Sand Quarry into Walkers Reserve. This attraction is available on Private Tours.

Welchman Hall Gully

welch.jpg

Welchman Hall Gully is named after its first owner, a former soldier from Wales called General William Asygell Williams. 

He was banished by Cromwell after losing at the Battle of Bristol in 1650 during the English Civil War.

He established a plantation here, which he named Welchman Hall. 

It was this man who first developed the gully, adding many exotic trees and an orchard.

The gully is also home to the world’s smallest species of snake. 

But don’t worry, Leptotytphlops Carlae, discovered by Blair Hedges, of Penn State University in 2008, is blind, harmless and lives deep in the gully. It is so tiny, it can curl up on to a US quarter. It is very rare and hasn’t been seen for a couple of years. 

Welchman Hall Gully has at least two other claims to fame.

It is the home of the grapefruit, formed from a sweet orange and a shaddock, a large pomelo. You can sometimes see the grapefruit’s peel, discarded by the monkeys.

The first reference to the grapefruit was in 1750, when it was described by Rev Griffith Hughes, a botanist, as the Forbidden Fruit of Barbados. This attraction is available on Private Tours.
