March Break is coming up fast, and one of the world’s great family destinations is only a short flight away.

Not only does Barbados offer dazzling beaches and tasty world cuisine, but you’ll also find amazing things to do for kids, and for the whole family.

Here are some great options to consider, as well as some solid deals at several fantastic resorts.

The Atlantis Submarines

Experience the award-winning Atlantis submarine tour, which is one of the most highly-recommended attractions in Barbados for adults and children (Min height 3 feet). Sit back and enjoy the brief boat ride to the Atlantis dive site along the scenic coastline of Barbados, as the professional crew welcomes you and gives a safety briefing. The vessels tie up alongside each other and you make the easy transfer from the Ocean Quest to the Atlantis Submarine. After securing the hatches and being seated in the air-conditioned comfort of a real submarine, the call is made to: “Dive! Dive! Dive!” You are now fully submerged in the aquamarine Caribbean Sea with large viewports all around, as sea fans sway and curious exotic fish in a rainbow of colours peek in at you. This unique “must-do” undersea voyage, can take you to a shipwreck and to depths of more than 40 metersfeet, which in the past has been reserved only for scuba divers. A knowledgeable co-pilot narrates the 40-minute underwater adventure and will help you to identify the amazing sights on the other side of your window.

Animal Flower Cave

This is a wondrous experience that allows visitors to climb down a short ladder and explore a large underground cave that has been carved out of the limestone by the forces of nature. You’ll find fascinating rock formations in a myriad of shapes and sizes, as well as spectacular views of blue waves crashing against the coast. You’ll also find deep rock pools you can swim in if the conditions are safe. On top of that, they have their own flock of Barbados BlackBelly Sheep, which the little ones will love to check out. The cliffs above the caves offer amazing views of the coastline, and there’s also a wonderful restaurant on site. More information: https://www.animalflowercave.com/
