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.

I scheduled this one through the cruise ship but easily could be done on your own. They take you here in buses and then you walk in and there is informational rooms and you wait for your turn to get on the little trams there's also a gift shop and a place to buy coffee then the trims drive you through the caverns. There are two spots that they let you get out and take some pictures. It's a pretty interesting cavern. I've been through about four or five different caverns they're all pretty unique in their own ways. I really liked this one they. It doesn't matter which side you sit on because you go in and out the same way but try and get a seat closer to the edge if you want to take some pictures

This was my first time back to Harrison’s Cave since the renovations with all the Adventure Park features, and I absolutely loved it! I did the cave tour again—nothing had changed much from previous visits, but it was still beautiful and enjoyable. My absolute favorite part was the bird sanctuary. The guide in charge of feeding and directing the birds did an amazing job—he was confident, reassuring, and created a fun, safe environment where the birds could land on your arms and shoulders. I really appreciated him! The grounds are gorgeous, and while we didn’t get to do everything this time, we’ll definitely be back to try the zip-lining. We even saw monkeys running along the forest floor—it felt so authentically Barbados! Whether you’re visiting as a couple, a family, or a group, this is a wonderful experience. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is laid-back and relaxing, and the natural beauty is unmatched. I highly, highly recommend it!

Highly recommend! Went there on a rainy day with my partner and 2 year old. Booked a 9am tram ride and it felt like a private tour (only 4 other with us). Gabriel and Peter were absolutely brilliant, super funny, knowledgeable of the cave and really great with our 2 year old who absolutely loved the experience. The ticket gets you access to the aviary as well which is lovely. The member of staff working there was filled with great facts about the birds.

I really did enjoy thus cave which is not under a mountain. It's great learning how the island was formed and the cave found. Really nice formations. I'm not use to having a tram take me around but I think it's more to maximize profits. I started in a walking cave and think I still these. Outside of this, it's a must visit to experience things you may not have previously. Suggest early to avoid crowds.

Fascinating experience! If you have children traveling with you this is a must for your vacation. There is so much more to this place than just a cave, and what a cave it is! It is totally handicap accessible with the most challenging part getting into the tram. The cave, it's history, and timeline kept us enthralled for over an hour. Tour guide Sandra along with live wire Peter gave an over the top tour. Best ever! When the cave tour is over there is a ropes course, monkeys, and exotic birds to keep you entertained. If that is not enough then you can take a sip in the infinity pool. More upgrades are coming, so if you have visited once in recommend going again.
