Had an awesome driver and a very good experience with the Harrison cave Tram. From the bus ride to the experience inside the cave, was definitely worth it. Thanks to our driver for entertaining us as well. Thank you Charles

Good day, My name is Saleem Ali. These are my reviews as follows which was delightfully experienced at the Harrison's Cave Tram Tour. I am please to say that my experience at the Harrison's Cave was an adventurous and educational one. The tour guide, she accompanied us visitors and spoke about the history of Harrison's Cave and its origins. Earlier, before the tour, we viewed a video on Barbados itself. It's Beauty and Treasures the country has to offer. A captivating ice-breaker. The visitor's and I have learned a lot in the process. The tour guide, she made me feel comfortable as in her experience over the course of 32 years working there at the Harrison's Cave has proven to be a vital one. We also learn that many Hollywood stars and singers visited the cave as well. I later ventured into the gift shop which had wonderful items on sale. My only negative downfall is that I did not get the opportunity to visit the Boat Cruise Snorkel Adventure as I was told that I had to leave to go onto the next tour at St. Nicholas Abbey. I also did not get to gage myself in the challenge course neither the zip lining adventure. I felt I was robbed of the short time being there as I did not get to visit these other sections. I would like to greatly thank the bus driver, Mr. Charles who picked me up at the different locations and dropped me off at the hotel later in the evening. Mr. Charles stated many positive attributes of Barbados country. I commend him in all his efforts in transporting me to and from the places encountered and I surely will recommend him for other trips in the future. Mr. Gline (also a bus driver) who picked me up from the hotel in the morning period, provided me with vast knowledge on the Geography status and presented me and my other passengers with lots of information on Barbados. I thank him. I would like to thank all other persons not mentioned who played a role in working to achieve in making my visit a memorable one. It is highly appreciated and again, I thank you. Regards. Saleem Ali Trinidad, West Indies

We had a great time at Harrison’s Cave. Our guide was right on time for pick up and shared some very funny stories on our drive to the cave. They gave great instructions on how to navigate the area and allowed for extra time after our tour to wander around. We loved the bird aviary.

Really Really fun, hard do beat spending the day this way. Our driver, Glyne was so nice and we told us stories about how rum and sugar were discovered. The cave was very interesting and cool and the turtles and shipwrecks were awesome to see. It in general was so FUN. Recommended for any person who loves fun!

My husband and I booked this activity as a shore excursion during a cruise to Barbados. Our guide/driver, Charles, was amazing! He took time to get to know everyone and learn everyone’s name as he drove. He worked hard to get us on an earlier cave tour when he realized we may not make the boat trip in time. Harrison’s Cave was an amazing experience! As a middle school teacher, I enjoyed all the geology of the cave. The tram ride was so fun too! After the cave tour, Charles worked hard to get us to the boat. He called the boat captain to let him know to wait for us. He even offered to drop us off at the boat’s 2nd stop if needed. After boating, Charles met us right where and when he said he would. He dropped us off in town and gave us directions to walk back (he would have driven us all the way, but we wanted to walk). My only feedback for the tour company would be to schedule the tour at 9:00 so guests don’t have to rush through the cave.

I really hate leaving poor reviews but I have to be honest about this one… What’s important to know is that due to the number of combos of tours, there is a lot of shuffling at locations. We arrived at Harrison’s with one group but then left with others. We had to drop off all the other people (2hrs of driving?) before being taken to the boat cruise/snorkel. The cave tour was interesting and informative but felt overly orchestrated. The boat “cruise” was super disappointing. After being dropped off by the driver (Ricardo who was great and probably the best part of the day!) we had to wait an hour for the cruise. The packed boat cruised for 5 minutes, went to the beach, took on a couple more groups and then about 3 minutes later we stopped to snorkel with the turtles. We could have swam there from the beach. Not kidding. And the sheer volume of people was horrible and distressing as people flailed about. Then we boated another 3 minutes to the shipwreck, again, too many people to enjoy anything. More time was spent getting on and off the boat than actually cruising. If you’re looking for a relaxing day in the water, this is not it.

The cave is worth seeing, the snorkel portion is a bit silly. You will snorkel with about 40-60 other people and boats in a life vest with guides screaming “stay together” for most of the trip. The boat ride out is dumb… so just do the cave👍😊

Winston was the best guide we’ve ever had. He was extremely professional and friendly, and also had a broad knowledge of history and geography. He was very kind and helpful during our tour. We highly recommend Winston to everyone.

We had an amazing time visiting Harrisons Cave. Our driver was waiting for us at the designated place in the port and was with us all day. He provided us with lots of information about the area. The boat trip was lovely and equipment clean and disinfected, however, I'm not sure that travelling half a mile to a beach, 100 yards to the shipwreck and then another 50 yards to see the turtles can be called a cruise when actually we could have swam to the area from the beach. A little disappointed.
