Harrison's Cave
This magnificent, crystallized limestone cavern is one of the wonders of Barbados. This natural phenomenon offers a breathtaking view of coral formations that have taken centuries, even millennia, to develop.
Stalactites and stalagmites abound, some of them joining to form pillars, in this well-developed and cleverly designed cave. So too are pools, streams and waterfalls that add to the spectacular underground vista. It is definitely a sight to behold.
The cave was explored in the early 1970s when Ole Sorensen, a Danish speleologist commissioned by the Barbados National Trust, surveyed and mapped the cave. He realised the vast potential of the cave and recommended that it be developed.
In the early 1980s, the cave was opened offering visitors a journey through an underground wonderland that few ever thought existed. Electrically-operated trams take visitors along the meandering pathway into the depth of the cave where they can disembark and watch the awesome waterfall in the Great Hall.
