Harrisons Cave

• Half Day excursion, £37.00/adult, £25.00/child
• Activity level: Not suitable for passengers with walking difficulties / wheelchairs
• Family-friendly

Harrisons Cave is a magnificent natural phenomenon, in a class of its own. Formed from a particularly beautiful type of crystallized limestone, this stunning cavern is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular natural attractions in the entire Caribbean. Though created over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, Harrisons Cave has only been open to the public since 1981.   The first recorded history of Harrisons Cave dates back to 1796, but it then lay undisturbed until it was rediscovered in 1970 by Ole Sorenson and developed by the Government of Barbados

After checking in at the Visitors Centre, you board the electric tram that will take you down into the cave and you are on your way to a memorable experience - magnificent chambers, incredible stalactites and stalagmites, bubbling streams, tumbling cascades, plunging waterfalls and emerald pools. Throughout the mile long cave the flowstone covered walls glisten in the lights as the calcite laden waters drip down from the roof.
