At the heart of Barbados lies one of its greatest wonders – the magnificent Harrison’s Cave. Located in the central uplands of the island, this crystallized, limestone cave is characterized by flowing streams, deep pools of crystal clear water, and towering columns.

Harrison’s Cave is a massive stream cave system that is at least 2.3 kilometers long. The interior temperature is an average of 27 degrees Celsius and its largest cavern, the Great Hall measures 15 meters high. Harrison’s Cave is considered an active cave as it carries water, and it is very much alive as its stalagmites are still growing albeit by less than the thickness of a piece of paper each year, but that’s very fast in geological terms.
