Detailed itinerary
1
This stop is available on Friday nights only. On Fridays, Oistins comes alive as Barbados’ most famous fish fry festival, with food stalls and restaurants serving up fish and local sides alongside music and dancing in a vibrant open-air setting. Your driver-guide will drop you off to explore, dine, and enjoy the atmosphere for 4 hours before pickup. We recommend carrying cash, as meals are not included, and many visitors love “Pat’s Place”, a local favourite.
P.S.: Don’t like fish? Some restaurants also serve meats such as chicken.
N.B.: The Friday Night experience starts at 5:00 PM, as arriving after 6:30 PM can mean heavy traffic and long food lines. For later experiences, choose our Thursday or Saturday night options, which do not include Oistins.
