Discovering Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary: A Family Adventure

The Babies' First Field Trip

As a proudly family-run business, we at A Plus believe that every step we take is about more than just work. It’s about creating meaningful experiences—for our guests and for ourselves. This visit to Graeme Hall was a milestone: the youngest members of our team, the babies of the family, were there along with their preschool for their very first field trip.

There’s something magical about seeing children experience outings with their peers. Watching them see all the exotic animals for the first time is unforgettable. Tiny fingers pointed excitedly at turtles basking in the sun, birds nesting in trees, and fish darting beneath the wooden walkways. Their wide eyes and contagious giggles reminded us why we do what we do. It’s about connection—to nature, to each other, and to the legacy we are building as a business rooted in love and community.

Behind the Tour: Planning With Purpose

While the kids enjoyed their up-close look at the natural world, the rest of the A Plus team was hard at work scoping out every detail that would make this tour extraordinary for our guests. We walked the trails, mapped out key photo stops, took notes on accessibility, and met with sanctuary staff to learn about the conservation efforts behind the scenes.

Graeme Hall is more than just a pretty place. It’s the last remaining mangrove wetland on the island's south coast and is home to over 100 species of birds and countless other plants and animals. It plays a vital role in local biodiversity, and our aim is to share this importance with everyone who visits.

What Guests Can Expect

Our Graeme Hall Tour will combine education with inspiration. Guests will have the opportunity to stroll along boardwalks that weave through mangrove forests. They can spot turtles, crabs, and tropical birds while enjoying the soothing serenity of the sanctuary's salt pond. Guided by our experienced and passionate team, this tour is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, families, and anyone looking to experience a different side of Barbados.

There will also be moments to pause and reflect—perhaps to sketch, write, or simply soak in the calm. As we continue planning, our goal is to make this tour not only informative but deeply restorative.

Why We’re Excited

This site visit reminded us of the core values that built A Plus Tours: curiosity, family, and love for the land we call home. Watching our children discover new sights and sounds reinforced our commitment to creating experiences that are joyful, enriching, and sustainable.

We left Graeme Hall with full hearts and a renewed sense of purpose. It’s not just about offering tours; it’s about inviting people to connect, discover, and appreciate the island in deeper ways.
