This ad was shot in 1988 in Barbados for Bacardi. An Australian crew flew to Barbados; David Dineen was the director and Jeff Darling was the cinematographer. Barbadian Greg Hoyos, DDB Sydney account director, coordinated the production. With its enigmatic ending, this ad became one of the best-loved ads on Australian TV; it ran for five years.
I've been looking for this commercial for 20 years. I recall the theme song like it was yesterday but could never find it. This song has been a thorn in my brain but now I'm happy to have found it here. Thank you YouTube. I would like to know if there is more to this theme song than the 45 seconds we see on the commercial.
I love this ad and Im so glad to have found it, this ad has been my inspiration travelling those tropical islands of the world there is something about the song and ad that stirs a passion and energy in me to get out there and grab that dream. thanks heaps
I love this ad, it is so sensual and sexy. Yes it is Kevin Sorbo of Hercules Fame. Wow, the women is also gorgeous!! I remember watching these ads in the cinema before the movie came on in the late 80's to 90's. Cheers ;o)
My god I love this ad, I have tears in my eyes right now. Im 38.

Words as I remember
Paradise, I want you to set me free
loose it up, be free
Oh Loose it up, when the day is done
Bacardi Rum...
