Early afternoon flight from London to Barbados 

Transfer to hotel 

BASECAMP 

Arguably, every hotel on the island is suitable for this type of event, but we’ve settled on the Dover Beach Hotel for 2025. This south-coast hotel offers spacious rooms with a pool and private beach. Located close to St Lawrence Gap places us perilously close to the vibrant nightlife, yet distant enough to offer that resort feel. Breakfast is included daily, whilst a group dinner is scheduled for our first night.  

Team Welcome Dinner  

Optional visit to a Harrison’s Cave and rum tasting (go steady)

CATAMARAN CRUISE 

Set sail from the capital, Bridgetown, for a full day’s boat party in the Caribbean Sea. Dive off the boat, swim with turtles and snorkel amongst the rays before the party kicks in after a sumptuous buffet lunch on board. The journey back to port is loud, colourful and supported by the flowing rum punch handed out in person by the attentive boat hands
