Harrison Cave

[rjrpar]

Has anyone taken a tour from the pier to the cave? Just wondering about prices since the taxi prices seem high. We have often negotiated some good deals from the tours being hawked at the end of the dock.

Thanks for any info.

We really enjoyed Barbados. We prearranged for Glory Tour's "Best of Barbados Tour" (Option A) $94 per person (after web discount) plus tips which included lunch, entrance fees, and drinks. It was an all-day tour that ran from 9:00am to 4:00pm. All entrance fees were included. There were just six of us on this guided tour that took us all over the island.

 

Our driver, Stephen, took us first to Harrision Cave where were enjoyed a guided tram tour underground. These caves are spectacular. You do some walking but most of the tour is on a tram.

Then on to Bathsheba on the East Coast for impressive views of the ocean and rock formations. We ate a delicious lunch of Flying Fish, rice and beans, cole slaw, macaroni and cheese casserole, and a coke. We then worked our way to the Wild Life Reserve where we saw an abundance of green-tailed monkeys, tortoises, iguanas, a python, peacocks, turkeys, and other critters I couldn't identify. Stephen then treated us to a Barbados Rum Punch at the bar there. On the West Coast, we took a glass bottom boat to two snorkeling destinations: first visiting a ship wreck, then a spot where we swam with sea turtles (West Coast). Recommended!

Hello - I can't see any Best of Barbados tour for $94 on their website. Can you tell me exactly which one you took? Thanks.

Glory Tours is at http://www.glorytours.org/bestone.html

 

The tour is still called "Best of Barbados".

 

And you're right, the rate has gone up.

 

Price: Adults BDS$276.00 = US$138

PreBook BDS$248.00 per adult = US$124

Group Rate BDS$221.00 = US$110.50

 

Still a good price for the entire tour.

You might check to see if the Group rate will apply to everyone on your ship's port date (and tell them you'll post it on your rollcall board).

We used Tyrrone Griffith for a tour of Barbados. He took us all around the island, with the first stop being Harrison's Cave. The price for the day for the 2 of us was $125. This did not include admission to the cave which was $31 per person. Tyrrone made the reservations for us.We had a great day with Tyrrone.

Thank you for this information. We are planning to book this excursion instead of the ships.
