Yesterday I received a message from some very excited customers who were reconfirming their airport transfer. They mentioned to me that it was their 50th trip to Barbados. Well we could not let such a special occasion pass without a very special greeting at the airport. This is why we do what we do. I LOVE being a small part of making wonderful memories and celebrating special occasions like this one.

In Barbados our adventures are not limited to just the regular land tour. Our adventures take us above land,on the sea, under the sea and even under ground. One of our greatest adventures happens in the heart of the country away from the sand, sun and sea with flowing streams and glistening rocks at this underground treasure and limestone cave Harrison’s Cave. 🇧🇧

Barbados welcomed cruise ships back to our Port at the beginning of July 2021.
At this time there are a limited number of shore excursions that are allowed to depart the cruise ship port. We have conveniently placed these tours together on one page on our Website to make them easier to identify. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help you. Happy Cruising, we look forward to. Seeing you in Barbados soon

I am happy to announce that from Monday 14th June 2021 we will be able to resume operations in the Barbados port for a select number of tours.
The Bajan Highlights & The Rum Run excursion along with the Turtle & Shipwreck Excursion and beach day have been approved for operation.
Glory Tours along with several other tour operators and taxis are happy to once again be able to provide our services to Cruise Ship guest and to do what we love best which is sharing our wonderful island with you.
We want to say a huge THANK YOU! To the Government of Barbados, The Management and team of the Barbados Port Inc, The Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc and the Ministry of Health for assiduously working to ensure that the Barbados Cruise Industry reopen safely for everyone.
We are the first port of call for Celebrity Millennium which departs St Martin. The Barbados government has worked hard to ensure a safe reopening of the cruise industry by providing the industry parters with training and protocols under which we will operate. They have wisely granted us to operate only a few tours initially which will be monitored to ensure a safe and fabulous experience four our guest whilst maintaining a safe environment for Barbadians.
We are committed to getting this right. I know how much we all love cruises and the industry needs to restart for the ships who have been out if work for over a year, it’s crew and the countries that depend on them.
As I have said to my fellow industry partners; Covid has injured us all but just as someone who has injured their knee and have had to have knee surgery, we first have a period of physiotherapy so we can learn to walk again before we can run. We must be disciplined and committed whilst facing challenges but in doing so we will regain our strength and rise again. Our Barbados will shine bright because she is truly the Gem of the Caribbean and we will do our best to play our part. 🙏

Well I had all good intentions of adding a post to my blog every day. Unfortunately the last few weeks have been very busy. I have been working to get Tranquility ready to cruise again and Glory Tours ready to tour again 😊
Thankfully today I managed to find some time to share one of my favourite stories with you.
I know when you see Captain Morgan that you will think of Jamaica but just as the early settlers of Jamaica who built plantations there had their origin in the UK and went to Jamaica after first living in Barbados so did Captain Morgan.
I invite you to read this my favourite Pirate story; a tale of a slave, soldier, pirate, prisoner and governor. I hope you enjoy it, if you do I may share a few other pirate stories with you 😊

Barbados was nicknamed "land of the flying fish and indeed our national dish is Cou-Cou and Flying Fish. Many aspects of Barbadian culture centre around the flying fish: it is depicted on coins, as sculptures in fountains, and in numerous pieces of artwork in artwork. The Barbadian coat of arms feat...

Whenever I have something to write I don't like to just choose a topic, I like something to spark something inside of me so that I have some inspiration.

If you had said anything to me about Blue Tang many years ago I would have thought you meant a new colour and flavour of the popular drink Tang from back in the day.
As children packages of this stuff would disappear from our parents cupboards, smuggled in our bags and into school where we shared this yummy powder as a sweet "tangy" treat with our classmates. I can just see my two nieces now laughing at me with the thought of this being considered a yummy treat lol........ Nooooooooo this is not the Tang I am talking about today. Blue Tang are something entirely different but like the Orange Tang drink that was a favourite of mine as a child Blue Tang's are a favourite of mine as an adult but they are a fish not a drink 😜🐟

I am a Barbadian but I am also a traveller. I love to see new places and have adventures. A few years ago I went to Alaska which I absolutely love and the Rocky Mountains which I also absolutely love….. I am not quite sure I could give up my warm blue sea and fishies for them though 😊 anyhow I digress. When I am planning a trip I do a lot of research before I go. I research the top places to see and experiences to have and I use Google maps to coordinate everything. One day when we were driving my boyfriend saw a sign on the side of the road about a boat trip to see bears….. now I was hesitant not because of the bears because I wanted to see them but because I had not heard of this place and it was just a sign an a path that went over a railroad and a bridge. We could not see any further. I decided to resist my urge to stick to the plan and go along for the adventure…. I can’t always be the one calling the shots lol 😜 as an organizer it’s hard to give up the reigns sometimes but as a good girlfriend I have to 😊. Once again I digress … anyhow it turned out to be one of the best adventures we had on our holiday and it resulted in me not only seeing a bear but it was a mama bear and her two Cubs and we enjoyed watching them on the shore safely from the boat.
The world is so full of so many wonderful places and they have so many wonderful and different experiences to offer. We could have just stayed in the car and driven past but on the very wise suggestion of my boyfriend we went and had a fabulous experience that we will remember and cherish for the rest of our lives.
I know the picture of the flower has nothing to do with my story but in a way it does because my message is: Don’t let the opportunity pass you by to have experiences that you will treasure for a lifetime. Don’t just take a plane somewhere and stay in a hotel or lie on a beach…. Well lie on a beach a few days and snorkel and dive but also explore and experience what the country really has to offer you. I am sure glad that I do and I can’t wait to explore more of the world and also to share my world with you. 🇧🇧

Be resilient like a baby turtle….
When a baby turtle hatches and it makes it’s way down the beach to the sea the waves come in and often wash him or her backwards causing them to have to make the journey to the sea yet again.
This time they are a little more experienced and even though they sometimes have to make several attempts, with determination and resilience they achieve success and make their way into the sea.
Covid-19 has tossed many of us back like waves in the sea that we have no control over but like baby turtles we WILL get up and we WILL overcome and we WILL succeed.

As a Barbadian who has lived all 43 years of her life living in the 166 square miles of these Barbadian shores and the waters that lap them I am still having adventures and discovering new things.
Today’s adventure was an unplanned one.
I entered the sea in front of my home and allowed the gentle currents to take me along over the shallow waters and above the reef. As I went along I saw a variety of sea life until I came upon an area with reef balls.
Reef Balls are artificial reef structures designed to create new or enhance existing reef habitats. They consist of a long-lasting marine concrete mix which allows for growth of benthic biota such as corals and a suitable habitat for fish.
On doing a little research I learnt that the reef balls were placed by the Barbados Marine Trust in 2004 deployed 30 Reef Balls off the South Coast of Barbados in a sandy channel located between two patch reefs.
They were so beautiful and the area was filled with fish, so many swimming within the balls themselves.
