If you love the outdoors, Highland Adventure Centre is a must on your visit to Barbados. The center offers hiking tours, bike tours, and mountain biking. You will discover the beauty of the hidden treasures of the central and eastern parishes of the island, which offer a dramatic contrast in landscape from the soothing beachscapes of the south and west coasts, where most hotels are located. The tours are not so strenuous that first-timers cannot participate, but offer enough challenge that regular hikers and bikers will appreciate the activity. Knowledgeable guides are with you throughout the tours. Mountain biking tours will take you to the rugged east coast, while hiking tours start and end at Highland’s Adventure Centre in the central parish of St. Thomas.
