It’s not obvious when booking but you do require a good level of fitness for this tour, it involves dropping down into the cave on a steep bank using ropes and at the end climbing back up. You will get wet and dirty in the cave with knocked knees and possibly your head, climbing up rocks and crawling through water. Parts of the cave are narrow or low with some chest high water. It’s a challenge but well worth it. We thoroughly enjoyed it as it’s an unusual experience. The guide was very friendly and informative.
It was an incredible off...

Fabulous! Will do it again. Carry a small bottle of water as the hike can tire you out. Our guide Christen was the best.

My husband and I had a great adventure with Justin. He got us safely down the mountain and through the cave. This experience was a bit challenging at times. We love to hike and be outside. This was our first cave experience and it was the best! I would definitely do it again!

Amazing hike! It's strenuous though! 2 hours to hike to the main hall and about 45 minutes to get out. You need sneakers with good treads and decent balance, upper and lower body strength, and an adventurous spirit to enjoy it! And my daughter and I were very proud of ourselves for braving and successfully traversing the bats and bugs and somewhat treacherous entrance and exit to the cave. And Zach was a joy! Excellent local guide and host and he made us feel safe and gave excellent instruction! The pools deep in the cave made it all worth it!! What an experience!

All the places I have traveled to this by far was the best experience we could have asked for. Zach was knowledgeable in the history and was an amazing tour guide. We felt safe and comfortable with the hike and navigating the caves with Zach. When you come to Barbados please book this experience. You will not be disappointed highly recommend.

The most memorable part of our vacation ! Zack is an amazing tour guide and will be back again because of him solely. His passion for what he does makes the entirety of the trip well worth it . This guy right here was made for this. Beautiful sites were seen and glad we got to experience this experience with Zack.
