Barbados is one of those iconic destinations that can conjure up a picture in your head without you actually having been there.
Yes that’s right: azure blue sea, white sand and palm trees. The reassuring thing when you get there is that you were right all along because that is indeed what it is like!
Over the years another consistent theme has been the warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere that has immediately put party leaders at ease.
Dominic our Bajan destination manager has been escorting sports tours for 15 years and he knows the island and its inhabitants inside out. Our philosophy is that if you are going to do Barbados then do it right… so you need to get under the skin of what the island is all about and our intimate local knowledge will help you discover the island and create memories that only happen in Barbados.
School Netball Tours Barbados: Where are the best places to stay?
Barbados remains consistently popular because there is a good range of accommodation options. Yes of course there are resorts which cater exclusively to the rich and famous but at the same time there are some excellent hotels which enjoy having school groups in delightful coastal spots with great access to Hastings and Bridgetown. We have a range of options which include properties right on the beach so you really can enjoy the island at its best…
Why take my school netball tours to Barbados? Here are some highlights…
There is something particularly appealing about the opportunity to go and play sport in such a glamorous destination. Barbados sports tours take advantage of its ‘Commonwealth’ sporting heritage which means that if you are thinking about a school netball tour to Barbados then you are going to enjoy real competition that other long haul destinations struggle to match.
Depart from UK airport bound for the shores of Barbados. Your group will be met on arrival by a member of the Activ4 Barbados team who will accompany you for the duration of your stay. The Blue Orchids Beach Hotel is a charming family run hotel located on a magnificent stretch of white sanded beach on the popular south coast of the island.
The hotel is in a very laid back, friendly area where you can take a leisurely stroll before heading back for lunch. Then head straight over to the beach for a relaxing swim before preparing for today’s fixtures. Your evening meals will be taken in local restaurants which will provide a good variety of meals.
Start the day with a full breakfast before stepping out onto the beach for an early morning swim and a light training session. Get your fitness levels up by jogging along the seashore as your next fixtures are scheduled today. Following all the action and excitement you will be more than ready to sit down and enjoy your evening meal.
Step into one of the comfortable safari rigged Land Rovers and prepare yourself for the Island Tour of your life! Island Safari shows you the island like no one else can, taking you to some of the most beautiful places on the island, places inaccessible to others but no problem with the 4 x 4 Safari Land Rovers.
Make the most of your surroundings by taking a couple of balls over to the beach and setting up some beach games. Get some pre match preparation going and discuss team tactics as today your next fixtures are scheduled where you will hopefully put in another good performance! The fixtures are carefully arranged and evenly matched to ensure good competition.
Today you set out for a fabulous day cruising around the island on a Catamaran. Enjoy the wonderful scenery and tranquil ambiance of the sea and take the once in a life time opportunity to swim with sea turtles. In the afternoon your group can snorkel around a beautiful coral reef. After this exhilarating day you will have an evening of beach games!
This morning you may decide to head out to the nation’s capital Bridgetown for some duty free shopping! Treat yourselves to a few souvenirs to take home with you before your penultimate fixtures. You can all get together for a celebratory dinner at the hotel! As it’s the last night you could have a tour awards ceremony.
Unfortunately all good things come to an end and today you return to the UK. After breakfast it’s time to check out but there may be enough time for some last minute shopping or a swim before you head out. Your coach will transfer you to the airport as you wave goodbye to Barbados!
