Harrisons Cave (Barbados)

Advantages: Well explained, interesting, something for all the family
Disadvantages: Not that easy to find

Harrison's caves are in the parish of St. Thomas they are quite difficult to find due to the fact that in Barbados they feel it is only necessary to put up a sign post every so often. Meaning that you will have come to several turn offs and junctions and not have a clue which way to go, its pot luck really!!! An island map is essential in this country! But as for the caves when you get there, they are fantastic, they are truly beautiful. The tours ...

You really won't believe your eyes when you see the stalactites, stalagmites, streams, lakes and underground waterfalls, its like being in an enchanted fairy tale world. As your looking at the amazing wonders before your eyes it is difficult to believe that it is all real. My children felt like they were in a magical wonderland!

Advantages: Stunning flowers and scenery
Disadvantages: A lot of walking around in a hot, very humid climate

...The flower forest at Barbados is 50 acres of stunning flowers, rolling grass and stunning views. The whole experience is like being in a mini rainforest. Situated in the 'Scotland district' of Barbados it is very close to Harrison's cave and Welchman Hall Gully so its easy to combine visits and make a day of it. When we went we spent about three hours there, the flowers were amazing with plagues situated around the forest giving details on the different types of flowers and trees. The wildlife is out of this world. As you walk around the tranquil forest all you can hear is the chattering birds. And if you are extremely lucky you might even see one of the islands Green Monkeys. What with the large variety of plants and species. The plants tower above you and you start to feel like you're in a giant's garden. For those... Read review

The Main Holiday Port of Call - Barbados Day before cruise - 1 day and overnight stay in Barbados In Barbados, we saw the Harrison's Cave. This was a very beautiful cave showing breathtaking waterfalls. For anyone who is interested in stalactites and stalagmites, this is a must see cave. I'm not a big fan, but I found it very interesting. You are driven in an electronic tram through the narrow paths in the cave. The best part... Read review
