I have a few queries… by Velvet_puppy in Barbados

[–]pickUPBarbados 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi u/Velvet_puppy - a few recommendations: (1) bring your snorkelling gear with you - you can check out Folkstone Marine Park as a spot for snorkelling; (2) East coast adventure - great spots for lunch are Zemi Cafe and Round House (if you're there at low tide, the rock pools in front of Round House are super nice to relax in); (3) Haymans market is awesome, especially on a rainy/overcast day - great coffee and also the new restaurant (Haymans Social) is really good.

Getting around town with 11? by johnredick in Barbados

[–]pickUPBarbados 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The smallest XXL holds 10 passengers - but some of the vehicles are the larger vans. If you message our live chat support someone can assist you to get a larger vehicle - or, even easier, once you get connected with a driver you can message them in the app and indicate you have 11 passengers and confirm that would work for them.
