Oistins Fish Lover's Food Tour
Food is a great motivation for travelers seeking to gain a true experience in a new destination and local cuisine provides telling insights into a people’s culture. Your tour will give you the great opportunity to experience unique charm and Bajan hospitality in a local, bustling fishing village.
Oistins is located on the south coast of Barbados and is an active fishing village where on weekend nights all the locals call home. The fishing village boasts a dockyard, jetty, fish market and a mix of fish food shops in Oistins Bay Gardens. The food is the main draw here featuring excellent fish, (tuna, swordfish, marlin, mahi-mahi, flying fish), lobster, chicken and more served in an extremely informal setting. You can get your fish grilled or fried depending on what mood you are in and it is all cooked on the spot in front of you.
Oistins fish market is open seven days a week and sells the freshest catch of the day. You cannot be on the island for long before someone is talking about fresh fish and recommending you make your way to Oistins. On this 2.5 hour tour you will see the dockyard, view the jetty and visit the fish and craft market. You will also sample delicious, traditional Bajan fish-based fare at three different stops.
Your short but comprehensive and delicious tour will end on Miami Beach where you can take the time to relax and view the town’s coastline to capture some great photos to remember this very culturally immersive day.
| Day 1 |
A former English colonial stronghold, Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados, will entice you with its unique Bajan flair and centuries-old English style architecture. This Caribbean haven, a favorite for Caribbean cruise-goers, offers plenty of adventurous and tropical excursions that will surely entertain you! Beachside attractions are a must – hop on a catamaran to go snorkeling offshore, plunge the ocean depths in a local submarine, or unwind on the sands of Carlisle Bay. Explore the historical remnants of Bridgetown’s English occupation, including St. Michael’s Cathedral, the Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill, Arlington House Museum, and Chamberlain Bridge. Better yet, sample the island’s best rums made from local sugarcane at St. Nicholas Abbey or Mount Gay Rum. Delight in Barbados’s natural wonders at Harrison’s Cave, the cavernous limestone grotto concealing striking calcite deposits and warm waters. Stroll the verdant walkways replete with hundreds of blooming flowers at Hunte’s Gardens or the Andromeda Botanic Gardens. Travel to Bridgetown and immerse yourself in this Bajan paradise! |
