Harrison's Cave

I just with the guides were better photographers. I only got one good photo because it was so dark & the trolley doesn’t actually STOP long enough for a digital camera to focus.

I have an older camera.

But one of the guides offered to take a photo of my husband & I. When we got back, we realized it was a really bad photo. It was wonderful of her to offer, but if I’d known it was that bad, I’d have asked for another one from someone else if she wasn’t looking. I’d turned off the viewer to save batteries… mistake!

Because the caves were opened in the late 80s, Harrison’s caves are very much intact compared to somewhere like the Luray Caverns in Virginia which have been abused by tourism & explorers for almost a century.

I believe it used to be part of the Welchman’s Gully, until a major cave-in separated the two areas. Its a fantastic ride if you rent a ‘doorless car’, a moke. The drive on the back roads, avoiding the deep ditches, goats & slashing sugarcane ‘leaves’ was completely cinematic. I couldn’t stop laughing.

Something wicked bit me that day, I had 3 horrible ulcerations on my shin for 2 weeks when I got home. I think it was a spider. Whatever it was, it took no prisoners.

Stalactites and stalagmites, underground pools. Harrison’s Cave is one of the big tourist attractions in Barbados. It’s also one of a network of caves that run under the island and are said to be connected to each other. It’s also said to be the Barbados Green Monkey Underground. Beautiful place to visit, very organised attraction, restaurants, gift shops and a stones throw away from Welchman Hall Gully.
