Explore the North of Barbados

As we open the new year, we wish everyone a happy and healthy 2020. This year Barbados is focused on an initiative to have our citizens return to the island for vacation, investment or retirement; and to offer targeted tourism related events by parish. This month We Gatherin’ Barbados 2020 highlights our northern most parish St. Lucy. This part of the island is one of natural unspoilt beauty, as there are plenty of open spaces and no major towns or hotel products. It is really great for those looking for a bit of authentic Bajan life. To truly explore its charm, one needs to have a hired car. The attractions of note include the picturesque River Bay inlet and rugged cliffs of North Point. The Animal Flower Cave is another unique attraction which offers visitors the chance to go into the belly of a cliff into a series natural cavernous pockets featuring pools filled with sea flora. A short drive in your hired car will get you up into the north to begin your adventure. The very flat terrain offers sweeping vistas perfect for sight seeing and photography and makes it very easy to navigate by sight. We recommend any visitor to take the drive up to this naturally beautiful parish. Whether you’re gathering with friends and family or visiting the island as a part of your annual pilgrimage or first-time visit, we suggest a GPS equipped hired car is the way to have an authentic Barbados experience. Leave the drudge of northern winter behind and enjoy the cool tropical breezes of our island! Make your car rental reservation here.

Food & Christmas in Barbados

In addition to the religious significance of Christmas, Barbados celebrates with food. Traditional Christmas meals include ham, leg pork, turkey and stuffing, jug-jug, pigeon peas and rice, macaroni pie and coleslaw. Each household or establishment claims to have the best of one of these dishes and Bajans and you can enjoy driving from place to place to sample this fare. You hired car can be your passport to culinary delight, as you wind your way around the countryside. As a multi-cultural society there is also a plethora of adopted delicacies from around the Caribbean. A short trip in your rental car can take you to a Trini restaurant for pastelles or a little garlic pork, or a Guyanese spot for a dash of pepperpot and rice. Ham cutters, traditional fresh cooked ham in a Bajan salt bread, available at most rum shops around the island also seem to taste better at Christmas time. Let your travels take you from shop to shop to conduct your own tests!  Wash it all down with a cold glass of sorrel. Just be careful, as some of them can be fermented and driving your rental car may have to be turned over to your designated driver. However, you celebrate the holidays, we hope you do it in Barbados with a hired car from us. Barbados can always serve up a special experience, but we happen to think it can be more special at Christmas. Happy Holidays!

A White Christmas in Barbados

Who says that the warm tropical climate of Barbados can’t deliver a white Christmas? We think that our white sand beaches are the perfect solution! You don’t need to shovel it, unless you’re making sandcastles and you can comfortably walk around on it barefoot and feel it between your toes. Try that with your frosty snow!  Our coral based island makes for the perfect foundation for powdery white sand beaches which are the envy of the Caribbean. We encourage you to hop into your hired car and explore as many of them as you can while on your vacation. The snow will be there when you leave and when you get back to your home country, but Barbados can offer you that welcome warm tropical sunshine relief from the bitter dreary cold of winter. With a rental car at your disposal you can make the most of your holiday with new beaches to explore daily. Each one more spectacular than the last. We would suggest that a Kia Moke (ETAN) rental car offers you a fun way to experience the spectacular island warmth while letting in the cooling Tradewinds for that au naturel feel. Bring your family down to Barbados for a visit and we’ll supply the hired car to make your tropical getaway all that it can be. Our 365 days of blissful warmth never gets old!

Which is your Favourite Beach in Barbados – Part 2

If rugged beauty is your thing, then the east and north coasts of the island are where you need to see. The wild Atlantic washes our shores with a mesmerizing intensity on these two coasts. The juxtaposition of these dramatic landscapes against the serene south and west coasts make Barbados unique in the island chain. To experience both halves is to have the freedom of a hired car. You’ll want to follow the coastline when you make your drives, if only to watch the change in scenery as you go from one seascape to the other. The east coast is home to the world-famous Crane Beach, with its long expense of lily-white sand. It is also where you’ll find the world-renowned Soup Bowl surf break or have lunch and a dip at Martin’s Bay. Heading north in your rental car past Pico Tenerife you’ll move to the cliffs of the north coast and the must-see Animal Flower Cave. It may not be a tropical beach, but the views from the cliffs and inside the cave are phenomenal. So pack up your rental car and make a day or two of it, as you explore Barbados by coast. Pack a lunch or visit a shop or two along the way and you could actually devote a day to the uniqueness of each of the island’s coasts. And remember that a hired car makes every holiday better!
