The Experience

Harrison's Cave is Barbados' top attraction, and a guided tour gets you through it with someone who knows the cave's layout and history. The guide leads you past the underground waterfall and through the tropical forest that surrounds the limestone formations. The route adjusts to what you want to see and how fast you want to move—no fixed itinerary that leaves you behind or rushes you past the stops that matter to you.

Bottled water and rum punch come with the tour, so you're not hunting for refreshment in the cave or paying separately at the entrance. The guide speaks English and can tailor the experience to your group's interests. If you're traveling with infants or small children, they can ride in a pram or stroller on the route. The whole outing runs three to four hours, which gives you time to move through the cave without feeling pressed.
