We cover:

This episode is for travelers who want more from Barbados than beach chairs and swim-up bars. If you're questioning the hype, the cost, or tired of tourist traps, Crystal Hammond offers a clearer picture after three trips with the same group of friends.

Crystal and Joe Saul-Sehy explore how Barbados blends resort relaxation with real adventure, from local rum shops and flying fish to ATV rides, jeep safaris, snorkeling with turtles, and beaches locals love. They break down when all-inclusive resorts are worth it, which excursions matter, and how to balance comfort with authentic Bajan experiences.

You'll also hear smart packing tips, budget-friendly advice, favorite local finds, and Gear of the Day picks to help turn a good Caribbean trip into a memorable one.
