Harrison's Cave

Barbados


This cave is promoted as one of the island's premier attractions, but how much you enjoy it will depend on which tour you choose. The main 'tram tour' involves sitting on a vehicle and being driven through the interior, but the one you really want is the rather pricey 'adventure tour' where you'll crawl, swim and duck through the cave's smaller passageways.

Wear old clothes.
