The above statement will conjure the thought in your mind that this must be a very big cave, and it certainly is, even if the train is an electric road train.  Harrison’s cave was known about since the 18th century but not properly explored until 1970 and subsequently landscaped. It is certainly one of the largest and most interesting caves in the whole of the Caribbean and one of the 7 wonders of Barbados.

The road train consists of several wagons with line seating and open top, in fact there are 2 road trains, so the visitors flow is kept constant. And what a good idea this is, if you have visited caves before you will know that these places are dark and slippery, sometimes even dangerous so a road train makes perfect sense.

Harrison’s cave is a “must see” attraction on this tiny Caribbean island, famous for its sandy beaches and celebrity visitors. The rock formation is of coral limestone, which is very porous. Like in all Caribbean islands, it rains frequently in short spells so the stalactites and stalagmites are constantly forming, and what an amazing gallery there is! The lighting is also very cleverly positioned for best effect, reflecting on the clear stream and emerald pools.

Barbados is one of the most attractive islands of the Caribbean, is also located well south of the hurricane corridor and it has seldom been hit. With a constant, year round pleasant climate and good connections from the UK, it is no surprise that the island is so popular and not just for holiday makers but also for property purchasers.

In addition to the many elegant hotels, there is now a choice of privately owned beautiful Barbados villas and Barbados apartments available to rent. For an overview of the fantastic selection, standard and availability of the accommodation on offer please access www.selectresorts.co.uk
