Reviews

I booked a private hiking experience with Jabar of Enlightened Travelers. Had a wonderful morning traversing Chalky Mount, Barbados with Jabar. He showed me amazing scenic sites awesome photo spots provided a valuable moderate/extreme tour. Jabar went out of his way to accommodate me. I highly recommend one of his hikes!

I have been hiking for almost 2 years with Jabarr and I must say that I have never been disappointed. The hikes are well organized and informative to say the least. If you are looking for a little sweat, or seeing another part of Barbados that is not normally seen, this is the hike for you. Let's not forget the BBQ and roast breadfruits that are part often part of the hikes. These hikes have it all.

This hike was recommended by a friend and what can I say but an extraordinary experience. I’m a hiker but this took me outside of my usual experience and I loved every moment of it. The views were incredible, it takes seeing Barbados to a whole new level. Jabar was thorough and very friendly. Couldn’t ask for a better guide. I’m definitely looking forward to the next hike!

Jabar is a kind, attentive, and service-driven guide. Well worth it to book with him for the Chalky Mount to Barclays Park loop! It was the perfect balance of getting local perspective while enjoying the quiet beautiful views. He customizes the hike for you as you go. Very professional and responsive. It was a great experience.

Jabar showed us breathtaking views from the highest point in Barbados, the beautiful community he is a part of, and some good ol' hospitality. A guided hike with Jabar is by far my favourite experience of Barbados. I would recommend it to every visitor.
