Choose the day shape first
| Choice | Best fit | Plan around |
|---|---|---|
| Historic Bridgetown | Culture and a flexible day | Allow for heat and the terminal-to-city walk |
| Beach or water day | Classic Barbados priorities | Confirm transport and current marine conditions |
| Island tour | Broader landscape and history | Choose one coherent circuit with return margin |
