To add a carousel with captions in Bootstrap 5, you can use the `carousel` component which allows you to create a slideshow with images and text.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
        <div id="carouselExampleCaptions" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel">
            <div class="carousel-indicators">
                <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleCaptions" data-bs-slide-to="0" class="active" aria-current="true" aria-label="Slide 1"></button>
                <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleCaptions" data-bs-slide-to="1" aria-label="Slide 2"></button>
                <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleCaptions" data-bs-slide-to="2" aria-label="Slide 3"></button>
            </div>
            <div class="carousel-inner">
                <div class="carousel-item active">
                    <img src="image1.jpg" class="d-block w-100" alt="...">
                    <div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block">
                        <h5>First slide label</h5>
                        <p>Some representative placeholder content for the first slide.</p>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="carousel-item">
                    <img src="image2.jpg" class="d-block w-100" alt="...">
                    <div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block">
                        <h5>Second slide label</h5>
                        <p>Some representative placeholder content for the second slide.</p>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="carousel-item">
                    <img src="image3.jpg" class="d-block w-100" alt="...">
                    <div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block">
                        <h5>Third slide label</h5>
                        <p>Some representative placeholder content for the third slide.</p>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <button class="carousel-control-prev" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleCaptions" data-bs-slide="prev">
                <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
                <span class="visually-hidden">Previous</span>
            </button>
            <button class="carousel-control-next" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleCaptions" data-bs-slide="next">
                <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
                <span class="visually-hidden">Next</span>
