3. Harrison’s Cave
One of the premier tourist attractions in Barbados is this world-class cave system. Take a trolley tour deep underground through the crystallized limestone caverns. The walls have been decorated over time with amazing stalactites, stalagmites and flowstone formations. The tram makes a few stops so you get up close to the running streams and reflective pools. At one point they turn off the tram lights so you can experience true darkness under the earth. Harrison’s Cave also offers more adventurous subterranean tours where you explore the system by foot – headlamps and knee pads required.
4. Animal Flower Cave
For a completely different (and cheaper!) cave experience, head up to North Point to see the Animal Flower Cave. It’s not as deep and vast as Harrison’s Cave, but it’s equally as impressive in its own right. Head down the steep steps into a series of rocky chambers, each with a natural window that frames an incredible view of surrounding cliffs and crashing waves. Take a dip in the indoor pool or check out the rock formations. Back up top you can have a drink or bite at the cliff-side restaurant with one of the best views of the dramatic north coast of Barbados.
