Harrison's Cave

Harrison's Cave, one of the most recognized attractions in Barbados, is included as one of the "Seven Wonders of Barbados" in the Barbados Tourism Encyclopedia. This is a remarkable natural phenomenon that has a stunning gallery of stalactites hanging from the cave's roof and stalagmites that erupt from the ground, as well as streams of crystal-clear flowing water that drop from breathtaking waterfalls to form deep green pools. The stalactites and stalagmites formed over thousands of years, and in some places, the stalactites have reached down to the stalagmites, forming a magnificent pillar.

The tram tour is the most popular, with guests being transported down through the huge cave system on electrically operated trams. Along the journey, excellent tour guides provide historical facts about the cave. Visitors are permitted to disembark the tram at the cave's lowest level and walk beneath a stunning waterfall that plunges into a deep lake below. Walking trips and an Eco-tour for the more daring are also available. The charming Visitor's Centre, which was meant to blend in with the natural limestone bedrock, has a snack area, artisan stores, and an exhibit of Amerindian items discovered from several locations throughout the island.
