Harrison’s Cave, Barbados’ most popular land-based visitor attraction, is a natural karst limestone formation featuring a series of subterranean passages, with a gallery of stalactites, stalagmites, lakes, streams, and waterfalls. This unique phenomenon of nature is the only commercialized subterranean cave in Barbados and has the distinction of being one of three (3) drive-in caves in the world.

On 19 March 1999, Caves of Barbados Ltd. (CBL) a private limited liability company, was incorporated under the (Barbados) Companies Act, Cap 308, and assumed ownership and operating responsibility for Harrison’s Cave. Following the enactment of the Caves Act 2000-12 which provided for the company’s control and management of caves in Barbados, CBL took over full management responsibility in September 2000.

Harrison’s Cave is a multi-faceted facility, offering a unique experience, which leaves a positive, lasting impression in the minds of all who take any of our exciting tours.
