Best times for Canadians to visit Barbados

Barbados has warm weather year-round, with the dry season from December to May being peak time for Canadian visitors. January through April offers the most reliable sunshine. March break is busy with Canadian families. The Crop Over festival in July and August is a vibrant cultural event worth planning around. Hurricane season runs June to November, though Barbados sits far south in the Caribbean and is less affected than other islands.
