Harrison's Cave Eco-Adventure Park

Harrison's Cave is in the central uplands of Barbados. It is situated at 700 feet (210 m) above sea level. The three characteristics of the central uplands are gullies, sinkholes and caverns. It is also an entrance for another place of interest: Welchman Hall Gully which is closed.

The caves are naturally formed by water erosion through the limestone rock. The calcium-rich water that runs through the caves have formed the unusual stalactites and stalagmites formations.

Travel through the caves is by tram, at certain points during the tour visitors are allowed to alight from the tram and get close up to the formations. One main area of the caves is a huge cavern, termed "The Great Hall", measuring over 50 feet (15 m) in height. After the great Hall the tram stops at "The Village". At The Village, some of the formations have joined to form columns after thousands of years. Other areas the tram stops along the tour is "The Chapel," "The Rotunda," and "The Altar." Visitors travel through the Boyce Tunnel via tram to all depths of the cave.

The cave experience was excellent, even with the tour delays that day. Ropes course and zip line looked like fun. The stairs to the bird area were challenging depending on your mobility. Limited food options though the restaurant and snack hut were open. Ride to and from Port was better than most islands, roughly a 30 minute ride each way.

A fantastic and well-preserved experience! The tour is very informative, and they take conservation seriously—you stay on the tram and aren't allowed to touch anything to prevent contamination. Quick Tips: > * You might get wet! There is water dripping from the cave ceiling in spots. The highlight was when they turned off all the lights. It becomes so dark you feel completely blind—it's incredible to experience that level of darkness. Overall, a very professional and "cool" adventure (literally and figuratively!).

Very cool experience, begins with a bit of free time in the waiting area to read information about the caves, followed by an 8 minute video with great details. They then bring you to the tram with sing use hair nets and a helmet to drive you through the cave. The tram portion takes about 40 minutes. Just a note the cave is wet and it drips down onto you occasionally so your clothes may get a little bit wet. They give you 2 opportunities to get off the tram and take photographs as well definitely worth the visit.

Harrison's Cave experience was fantastic. Our EV Tram driver Andre showed us around. Each trip has a max of 32 seats to fill. They of course don't really wait for seats to fill and have timed departures. Overall trip time is ~25 mins. Plenty to see and in that time. You can also take the trail by foot, but we had much younger kids with us so preferred the EV route. I recommend purchasing the tickets online and if you are renting/driving, there are ample parking spots here. We didn't really try any snacks or refreshments after our tour, but you do have the option of getting drinks + food at in their courtyard facing the cave entrance in a very peaceful and quiet ambiance. The tour takes you really close to some of natures amazing formation, and in return, all the team asks that you don't touch any of the Stalagmites and Stalactites as their formations are disturbed by our skin oils - something that a specific ethnicity of tourists just couldn't understand which was very frustrating. The team was about to cut short our tour after this group touched artifacts twice - pretty shameless people too. Shout out to Andre for maintaining his cool and continuing the tour.

We visited here on a shore excursion from our cruise. The electric tram is an amazing way to get to visit the cave. We also had the opportunity to get off the tram twice to take photos. Really engaging and knowledgeable tour guide. Afterwards we did the nature trail which had some amazing plants and trees. Highly recommend !
