Reach new heights at Harrison’s Cave Eco-Adventure Park
If your family loves a mix of nature and excitement, the Harrison’s Cave Eco-Adventure Park is the place to start. Here, kids aged six and up (and grown-ups too!) can soar 100 feet above the forest on the Monkey Zipline. With panoramic views of the island, it’s a high-flying, adrenaline-packed adventure you won’t forget. Or you can take it easy by following peaceful nature trails or discover the park’s hidden underground world with a guided cave tour, where you’ll find ancient rock formations.
Discover the island’s natural beauty and local crafts
A mix of lively nature and creative artistry, the Flower Forest, Harrison’s Cave, and Earthworks Pottery Tour has something for everyone. Stroll through the botanical garden of the Flower Forest and marvel at its explosion of colours and exotic blooms. With stroller-friendly paths, it’s perfect for little feet and wheels alike. Then, swap sunshine for a magical underground experience as you hop on a tram ride through Harrison’s Cave. End your tour at Earthworks Pottery, where kids will be amazed by artisans handcrafting beautiful ceramics.
Explore the ocean depths with the Atlantis Submarine
Dive into Barbados’ amazing marine life without even getting wet! The Atlantis Submarine Tour lets your family descend 150 feet below the surface to uncover a hidden underwater world from the comfort of an air-conditioned submarine. Wide panoramic windows give everyone a front-row view of vibrant coral reefs, majestic turtles gliding past, tropical fish darting about, and even a historic shipwreck.
