Discover more about Harrison's Cave Eco-Adventure Park

Harrison's Cave Eco-Adventure Park, nestled in the central uplands of Barbados, is a breathtaking natural wonder that has captivated visitors for centuries. First mentioned in historical documents in 1795, the cave remained largely unexplored until the early 1970s when Jack Peeples rediscovered it. Recognizing its potential, the Barbadian government developed the cave into a major tourist attraction, opening it to the public in 1981. The cave itself is a vast subterranean network stretching over 1.5 miles (2.3 kilometers), adorned with stunning limestone formations sculpted over millennia. As calcium-rich water seeps through the rock, it creates a mesmerizing display of stalactites hanging from the cave's ceiling and stalagmites rising from the ground. Crystal-clear streams and cascading waterfalls add to the cave's ethereal beauty, creating a truly otherworldly experience. The most popular way to explore Harrison's Cave is on a guided tram tour. These electric trams take visitors deep into the cave's depths, stopping at various points of interest along the way. Knowledgeable guides provide fascinating insights into the cave's geology, history, and ecosystem. One of the highlights of the tram tour is the Great Hall, a massive cavern soaring over 50 feet (15 meters) high. Other notable stops include The Village, where stalactites and stalagmites have joined to form impressive columns, and The Chapel, The Rotunda, and The Altar, each showcasing unique and awe-inspiring formations. For those seeking a more adventurous experience, Harrison's Cave Eco-Adventure Park offers a variety of activities beyond the tram tour. Thrill-seekers can soar through the lush tropical gully on the Monkey Zipline or test their skills on the Gully Challenge Course, the largest obstacle course in the Caribbean. Nature lovers can explore the park's scenic nature trails, home to a diverse array of flora and fauna. Visitors can also enjoy the Mount Gay Rum Experience, learning about the island's heritage.
