OVERVIEW
Carnival Essentials — The Entry-Level Xperience is the perfect starter package for travelers who want the essence of Barbados Crop Over without committing to a full island schedule. Includes your Aura Experience road costume, four signature Carnival fetes (including J’ouvert), all your transportation, and 24/7 MasX concierge support — with the freedom to add a Hilton Barbados Resort room and side trips at your own pace.
ITINERARY
Day 1: Arrival in Barbados: This Is What You Came For!
Welcome to Barbados! You'll be greeted at Grantley Adams Int'l Airport for a private transfer to your accommodation. Settle in and get ready for your week of Crop Over.

- Oistins Fish Fry: Local Cultural Experience (Food at venue)
Note: Event lineup may vary slightly based on availability. Event time and venue TBA.
Day 3: Dutty Mas Meets Uptown Funk!

Note: Optional add-on available.
Day 7: Crop Over Tabanca!
Crop Over Tabanca describes the sweet sadness when Carnival ends. The last event closes, reality calls, and it's time to head home with a head full of Soca and a heart full of memories. We hope to see you back next year.
