Sightseeing

Glide above the famous "Jack In The Box Gully"!

The Zipline technology borrows heavily from that used for rock and mountain climbing and features a double line with redundancy to provide a safe environment for users.
 
Your tour takes you over eight platforms each with two experienced guides who will provide you with information on different areas of the eco-system you are experiencing as well as ensure your safety as you move from platform to platform. You will enjoy beautiful views of the island as well as be informed on the geological formations, which will become apparent.

After your time of fun you will have a short walk on the nature trail back to the base camp where you can enjoy a refreshing drink, purchase your souvenir photos and branded merchandise.

Enclosed and comfortable footwear is required for this tour (sneakers).

Before you book this tour, please note that the zip line is 100ft above the ground. Therefore if you suffer from any height related disorders or are simply fearful of heights then it is not recommended that you book this tour.

Children under 12 years old are not permitted on the tour. 48 hours notice is preferred.

Thousands of Barbadians and visitors to the island enjoy the refreshing taste of Banks Beer every day as part of their recreation and relaxation. Even so, few among either group have any idea what goes into its production.  Banks (Barbados) Breweries Ltd. makes no secret of the art of making award-winning beer.

Stroll though their Brew-Seum, which is actually the original Brewhouse where the brews were processed in the huge trademark copper kettles for 32 years. Pause to take a look around the fully automated Computerized Facility with its large stainless steel vessels and see the final products as they come off the production line in the Bottling Hall.

Then it is time to sit and relax in The Beer Garden which was constructed as a replica of a traditional Bajan watering hole. Here you will be able to enjoy any of Banks’ products and peruse a trove of souvenir items from playing cards and key rings to T-shirts and polo shirts, ladies apparel, ties, mugs, drinking glasses and a host of other wonderful souvenirs, all at affordable prices.

Open Mondays through Fridays at 10am, 12 noon and 2pm.  Reservations are recommended.

Harrison's Cave, located in the centre of Barbados, has re-opened and is one of the island's most popular attractions. Take a trip into the mysterious underground caves of Barbados and explore centuries-old stalactites and stalagmites, waterfalls and lakes.

The new Harrison's Cave visitor experience begins at the cliff top location overlooking the valley floor. As visitors disembark, they will be able to enjoy the first exhibit located in our new car park. They will then proceed to the Visitor Reception Centre where they can purchase tickets and enjoy the interpretative exhibits at their leisure.

There are three options for descending from the cliff top to the valley floor; one of the two scenic tourism trails, including our cliff trail or valley trail or one of the three breathtaking, state of the art glass-fronted elevators.

We recommend visitors wear comfortable footwear and note that the cave is an active cave and water dripping from the formations should be expected.

Visitors will then enter the re-developed Cave Interpretative Centre which showcases exhibits as well as interactive displays for adults, teens and children. There is a nine-minute video presentation in the multimedia room before boarding a tram for a forty-minute underground journey.

Visitors are welcomed to explore the valley floor with its lush flora and fauna or take the self guided Scenic Walk.

St. Nicholas Abbey boasts an exceptional natural beauty with over 400 acres of sugar cane fields, tropical gullies, mahogany forests and gardens.
 
Its true masterpiece is the Jacobean great house, featuring elegant curvilinear gables, cornerstone chimneys and fireplaces, unusual elements in a Caribbean home. 

Now owned by a Barbadian family, the first in its history, the Warren family has meticulously restored the property to its original splendour.

St Nicholas Abbey is likely the last remaining authentic house of the 17th Century that exists anywhere in the "New World". When this residence was built around 1658 of brick and limestone, many of the structures in the North America were made of timber, and have long since perished.

The residence was built only 30 years after Barbados' settlement by the British in 1627, so it is of significant historical value to the island.

Listed today by the Barbados Tourism Authority (BTA) as one of the 'Seven Wonders of Barbados', St Nicholas Abbey is believed to be the oldest building in Barbados, and one of three existing Jacobean houses in the Western Hemisphere (the other two being Drax Hall in Barbados and Bacon's Castle in Virginia).
 
At the moment only the ground floor of St Nicholas Abbey is open to public viewing. There is a collection of period furniture including a four poster bed said to be owned by Napoleon's second wife, Empress Marie Louise. The Dining Room table and chairs is thought to be Barbadian made round about 1840, possibly earlier.

The formal garden, tropical vegetation and striking cabbage palm trees all lend to the English Manor setting. 

Enjoy a 20 minute home movie taken by Col. Stephen Cave's father in 1935 which shows a fascinating and surprising glimpse of life on a plantation at a time before modernisation.

One of the few distilleries of its kind, St Nicholas has embraced the traditions that made Barbados rum famous over 350 years ago. Under the guidance of Richard Seale, renown for distilling aged rums of quality and distinction, the plantation is developing aged rum. Barreled in the finest oak bourbon casks and aged in the old stables, the rum benefits from the cooling tradewind breezes of the plantation's highland location, developing a distinctive character and resulting in genuine, unblended liquor.
