Enjoy with me off the beaten track places, meet other locals and immerse yourself in " de Bajan culture". Areas of interest/specialty: **Barbados heritage & history **Local flora & fauna **Local geology ** WATCH MY MOVIE, "The Bearded Fig Tree Story" ** My keen interest in Barbados' natural, cultural and built heritage, led to a desire to share these Barbadian treasures. Experience Barbados' sights, sounds, people and more by foot and or vehicle as I interpret our culture, like our car horn language and varied forms of greeting. It's amazing how this island was formed, and how Barbadians lived long ago, and why there are many scores of Barbadian centenarians. In fact, Barbados ranks second to Japan for the highest percentage of 90+ year old persons. I have led walking tours and hikes throughout Barbados' 11 parishes, for the young and the young at heart and you will discover that I am knowledgeable across a wide range of areas relating to our local flora, fauna, Barbados' geology, history, heritage, culture and the interrelationships among the above, leading to the uniqueness of our Barbadian people. I am a certified Hike Leader, having earned certification from Hike Ontario, Canada, in 2006, a World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations certified Tourist Guide and a trained and experienced Barbados Heritage Tour Guide.

Overview of your Bridgetown tour

Enjoy a 3-hour nature walk with me, along a trail that shows visitors a variety of the island's natural, cultural, and historical sites. Humpback whales passed through the waters of Barbados 100 years ago and we have witnessed a partial return. Learn about the whaling industry of old. It's even possible that you may be visiting at the right time to see these magnificent denizens of the deep enjoying themselves offshore. The optional Whim Adventure section of the trail is for the more adventurous, sure-footed hikers. Scrambling over boulders and walking upon uneven surfaces all the way is the order of the day. Gloves required. Your walk begins in the quaint commercial center of Speightstown, and heads inland to an area where the commercial area gives way to a small residential area called Round De Town, and from there to the natural environment of the Whim. Under the tree canopy of this peaceful and cool section of the Whim, I will share on the geology of Barbados.
