This is a delight from being in the sun all day. I spent most of my time in Barbados on the beach so I was looking for something out of the sun and unique—this was it!
The Harrison's Cave is a natural wonder (one of Barbados' seven wonders) that has accumulated bedrock chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and forming pedestals from the ground. Technically they are known as stalactites (ceiling) and stalagmites (ground). These magnificent deposits are accumulated limestone that hardens and forms this huge unique pillars.

The Harrison's Cave is a natural wonder (one of Barbados' seven wonders) that has accumulated bedrock chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and forming pedestals from the ground. Technically they are known as stalactites (ceiling) and stalagmites (ground). These magnificent deposits are accumulated limestone that hardens and forms this huge unique pillars. There is very fresh, clean water cascading over each corner.
When you arrive, you pay around $12 to $17 to enter the park and inside they take you on a tram that descends into the caves. It was a little difficult to hear the tour operator as the speakers were a little fuzzy but you understood the main points. The train descends and stops at points for you to take photos. I strongly recommend having a covered camera case because sometimes there will be huge drops of water falling on you. Not a shower or anything, just droplets and if you're not prepared it could land on your digital screen!
There are spot lights in the cave and at the base you can actually get out and they let you wander around and take pictures. The water is very cold and absolutely clean like tap water. I was so impressed by Nature's ability to create piece of art. It was beautiful.
It took 40 minutes from St. Lawrence heading north to the parish of St. Thomas. We did have to pick up one other passenger.
It is best to hire a taxi to take you there and back. Pack some water, snacks, a hat, and camera. It is a peaceful ride with much that awaits you at Harrison's Cave. I recommend this to anyone who revels in nature's beauty.
