Harrison's Cave
Who would imagine that a Caribbean Island such as Barbados with its lazed back lifestyle,
relaxing atmosphere, colorful nightlife and fantastic beaches would also offer to unlock
the key to underground formations and the wonder of hidden caverns to explore. Known as
one of the "Seven Wonders of Barbados". Harrison's Cave is believed to go as far back in
time as the eighteenth century. Ole Sorensen, a renowned speleologist was hired to explore
and survey the caves. The area was landscaped, tunnels were dug, lighting and diverting of
underground streams all became part of developing the caves into the exciting attraction
of today.
Visiting Spelunkers
Electrically operated wagons take the visitors down through the extensive pathways of the
caves... showing the magnificent stalagmite formations in all of natures glory. It is
truly an awesome Seven Wonder of Barbados. There is a visitors center that is of limestone
bedrock blending into the landscape. There are Amerindian artifacts on
display which have been excavated from around the island.
The reflections of the crystal and rock formations from the lights compares with any other
wonder. This is one of the most popular attractions in Barbados. The stalacites and
stalagmites were formed over thousands of years and some of them have reached each other
and formed fantastic columns. There are crystal clear streams running through the caves
that form spectacular waterfalls and pools. The display of colors makes your trip to
Barbados all the more worth the while.
Snorkeling through the coral gardens among the vibrant sea life is unsurpassed anywhere
else in the Caribbean. And then being able to travel down through the earth to the
underground caverns of Harrison's Cave is almost like walking below the ocean's floor. You
can also get married in Harrison's Cave if you desire. Harrison's Cave is open every day
of the week and the first tour starts at 9:00 a.m. and the last tour is at 4:00 p.m.
