What to Expect on Your Barbados East Coast Hiking Adventure
Your journey begins at Ragged Point, the easternmost tip of Barbados, where rugged cliffs rise above the Atlantic. From here, you’ll follow the dramatic coral coastline north to Bell Point, a vantage spot offering panoramic cliff-top views. Along the way, your expert guides share insights into what makes Barbados geologically, culturally, and historically unique.
Following the path once traveled by the Barbados Railway over a century ago, step back in time and discover its vital role in shaping the island’s development. You’ll pass through the striking Conset Cutting, a secluded coral limestone pass where the quiet is broken only by the rustle of countless hermit crabs scuttling across the trail.
The hike continues to Conset Bay, one of the last traditional fishing villages on the east coast. Stroll along the pier for a fresh perspective of the island and keep an eye out for sea turtles gliding gracefully through the turquoise waters.
After completing this 8 km (5-mile), 2.5-hour coastal hike, you’ll return to your starting point to celebrate with our famous and refreshing rum punches. A little nature, a little history, and 100% Barbados — all in one unforgettable hike.

Book a tour with these guys if you’re travelling to Barbados. You won’t regret it! It’s a super fun way to explore the island. And you get to finish off with fresh Rum Punch, and looking out at the sea spotting sea turtles, what more could you want!
Greg & Roger were super friendly and great guides. The entire tour was beautiful and we learned a lot. I asked a lot of questions about the island and culture, and they happily answered all of them. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to see some of the non-resort parts of the island and get some exercise.
What a fabulous day! We were on a cruise and picked something a little more adventurous. The views of the coastline were AMAZING! They picked us up at the port and returned us…tired (a little sore) but entirely happy. This is not to be missed if you love doing something fun, informative and exceptional! Thank you both for a wonderful day!!
Loved this! Our guides were amazing, got to experinence and learn about parts of the island you wouldn’t normally get to. Without a doubt would do it again!
I absolutely LOVED this tour! The two guides were fantastic. They were knowledgeable, extremely witty and the kind of guys you’d just want to spend an afternoon with. They were 100% supportive to anyone who needed it. This was a great way to challenge yourself a bit while getting to see some amazing sights, I would do another tour with these guys.
The best adventure! We both are fairly active individuals and felt that this excursion would be a great way to get off the resort and truly explore the island. We cannot say enough good things about the tour. Greg and Roger were incredible tour guides.
