Harrison's cave
|
|
Barbados, the most easterly island in the Caribbean, is the home of Harrison’s Cave. This magnificent, crystallized limestone cavern is said to be one of the wonders of the world. Its pure clear water and flowing streams helped to create the beautiful stalactites and stalagmites which propagate the cave. You will be amazed by nature’s mastery as you journey through this living cave. Join us and Unearth the Adventure. Travel deep beneath the earth and explore the wonders of nature. Hear the rushing of the streams and see the calm glassy pools. Be amazed by the different shapes and sizes of the stalactites and stalagmites and delight in the delicate flowstone formations. See the early explorers’ entrance and experience some of their adventure. Travelling by tram, you will be directed by knowledgeable tour guides who will point out the various structures as well as the new formations which are continually growing in this living cave. At select points you can disembark from the tram for a closer look. Our focus is to ensure that you have a memorable experience.
