Itinerary
The Barbados Wildlife Reserve offers visitors the chance to experience the island’s wildlife in a peaceful, natural environment beneath towering mahogany trees. Historic red brick pathways, once part of Barbados’ sugar industry, add a unique historical charm to the reserve. Its most famous residents are the playful Barbados Green Monkeys, whose coats can appear green in certain light. Visitors can also see free-roaming tortoises, deer, peacocks, iguanas, parrots, and other native animals living in spacious surroundings. Ideal for families, photographers, and nature lovers, the reserve encourages guests to explore at a relaxed pace while learning about Barbados’ rich biodiversity and ongoing conservation efforts. Combining history, wildlife, and scenic beauty, it provides an enjoyable and educational experience for visitors of all ages.
Bathsheba, located on Barbados’ rugged east coast, is one of the island’s most scenic coastal villages, famous for its dramatic landscapes, powerful Atlantic waves, and distinctive coral rock formations. According to local tradition, the village was named after the biblical Bathsheba, whose legendary milk baths were said to resemble the white, foaming surf at the famous Soup Bowl. Today, Bathsheba is recognized internationally as one of Barbados’ top surfing destinations, attracting surfers from around the world with its strong Atlantic swells. The area is also popular with photographers, sightseers, and nature lovers who come to admire its breathtaking coastline and refreshing ocean breezes. Despite its popularity, Bathsheba has preserved the charm of a traditional Barbadian fishing village, with colorful seaside cottages and a peaceful atmosphere that showcases the island’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
Enjoy a delicious lunch at Dina’s Bar & Café during your tour. Guests can choose from a selection of tasty local favorites, including chicken or fish served with one or two sides and a fresh salad. Relax and refuel in a welcoming island atmosphere while enjoying a satisfying meal as part of your Barbados experience. Please advise us of any food allergies or dietary requirements at the time of booking so we can best accommodate your needs.

In addition to the main beach bar and food truck area, guests can visit Eden by the Sea, a charming seaside restaurant located beside the gardens and pickleball courts, serving coffee, fresh juices, beers, and cocktails. Your visit includes a beach lounger and shared umbrella, allowing you to unwind on the beautiful shores of Carlisle Bay at your own pace.

About Diamond Valley
Diamond Valley lies in the south-east of Barbados, the easternmost Caribbean island, a coral island of sugar-cane fields, gentle hills and beaches.
Diamond Valley sits in the parish of St Philip, on the south-east side of Barbados, a coral-limestone island roughly 34 kilometres long and the easternmost of the Caribbean islands. Crane Beach, a wide beach of pale sand backed by cliffs, lies on this coast. The land is gently rolling, with sugar-cane fields, gullies cut into the limestone, and villages of painted wooden chattel houses. Calm beaches face the Caribbean Sea along the west coast, while the Atlantic side to the east is rougher, with strong surf and rocky headlands.
