Boldly Bajan: Our History, Our Terms Island Tour

Explore Barbados's true story with one of two curated itineraries—each customizable to your interests. Tour 1: Historic South & East explores resistance, memory, and sacred ground. From sacred remembrance at Newton Burial Ground to the 1816 Bussa Rebellion sites at Simmons and Golden Grove, this route honors freedom fighters Nanny Gregg and Bussa. Journey through living histories at Guinea and Kendal Plantations, take in panoramic views from Gun Hill, and finish among Bathsheba’s rugged waves and maritime lore. Tour 2: Historic North & West traces colonial roots, national icons, and self-determination. Start at Rihanna Drive before visiting Holetown and Speightstown to trace British settlement and trade. Explore northern civic legacies at Nesfield, stand on post-emancipation grounds at Rock Hall Freedom Village, and Hangman’s Hill. Both routes weave in rich Bajan folklore, from unseen melodies off Bathsheba to legends like the Steel Donkey and Heartman.
