Explore the geological wonder that is Harrison’s Cave. In the heart of Barbados, sits this historic cave discovered in the 18th century. Board their electric trams and travel underground discovering the natural stalactites and stalagmites in their quirky formations like The Village, The Great Hall and The Altar. Allow yourself to be dazzled by the naturally flowing streams and waterfalls and crystal clear pools as you navigate through the deep crystallized limestone cave.

As you take a leisurely stroll through the four acres of forest, admiring the view and the especially fresh air, you’ll get the chance to get up close and personal with the charming animals. From the famous Barbadian Green Monkey, to the deer, mara, tortoise and beautiful peacocks roaming the grounds, there’ll be no limit to friends you can make. As you continue along the winding brick path you may find yourself in the aviary, admiring the breathtaking parrots and macaws or in the Reptile house, where you can become close acquaintances with the snakes, if you so desire.
