Are you ready for the experience of a lifetime? The beautiful island of Barbados is home of the famous Crop Over Festival. This is not your ordinary festival, it is an experience full of Barbadian culture. To end the festival, Barbadians celebrate Kadooment Day which is one of the biggest events on the island.

Drawing in thousands of people, this festival is sure to leave you wanting more which is why we will be returning for our very own 6-day adventure to give you the opportunity to experience the festivities with us.
