At the hotel

At Casuarina, there are many different sorts of activities to partake in ranging from very active sports to calming relaxation techniques such as Tai Chi. We have a wide range of board games and a library in the reading room. We frequently host educational events by leading Barbadian historians and other academics. These may be about Bajan architecture, geology, history and some include video demonstrations. We also host Caribbean poetry reading, story telling and art tours which go some way to demonstrate the wealth of local talent.

Out & about

The activities desk can organise for you to join our managing director Bonnie on her weekly early morning bike ride to view the dawn on either the west or east coast. There is breakfast after cycling followed by a visit to some of the islands lesser known beauty spots. If you are interested in hiking, there is the rugged east coast hills of Bawdens environmental park, a National Trust afternoon walk or a leisurely island tour not to be missed.

Old Barbados

We can arrange all manner of water sports and boat cruises from the peaceful and sublime to the active and physically demanding. Visit Bridgetown, our capital or Oistins the local fish market. The Museum tour begins with the history of the islands first settlers, the Arawaks and introduces you to the processing of sugar cane. Further this by going to see some of the now disused sugar factories or visit a rum distillery for a tipple.

So much to do

We can arrange a variety of nature tours, or for you to visit the Harry Bayley Observatory for a detailed look at the night sky, a real pleasure as light pollution is not a problem here. On Wednesday nights, Leo Branch a local astronomer comes to Casuarina and sets up equipment on the beach for us all to stargaze. In short, there is so much to do. When at Casuarina, just visit Reggie, Shelly and Jordana at the activities desk. They present a comprehensive orientation meeting for all of our guests.
