It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through Barbados with us.
Venture to the island’s lone accessible sea cave, Animal Flower Cave, at North Point, St. Lucy. Coral steps lead through an opening in the roof into the cave, home to sea anemones (locally called animal flowers). On calm days, swim in the natural rock pools in the cave or catch a glimpse of the Atlantic Ocean through the cave’s openings. © Helioscribe | Dreamstime.com

Did you know polo is one of the most popular sports in Barbados?

Many travelers are unaware Niagara is more than just world-famous waterfalls — or that autumn is an excellent time to explore the region. Since the falls are the main attraction, start with a Voyage to the Falls Boat Tour, taking in Niagara Gorge, American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, with dynamic views of legendary Canadian Horseshoe Falls.
