This was the highlight of our trip to Barbados. The gulley is a collapsed coral limestone cave, lush with massive trees, boulders, and Tarzan type vines hanging everywhere. There is massive biodiversity and we enjoyed reading about the different trees and rock formations. At 10am we saw monkeys being fed including a baby monkey - magical moment! There is also a climb you can take to get a great view out to sea.

Beautiful scenery and history. This is a self guided tour across a long walk of plants, bugs, birds, small animals, rock formations, and more! The access point is a bit further down the road from where the GPS leads, so keep going until you see their parking lot!

Cool shaded walk through tropical trees, many numbered and identified on free information sheet. Monkeys that live there are fed between 10am and 12 depending when they arrive at feeding platforms. Most of the concrete pathway is good, but couple of steep sections and towards end of path there are steps.

I think that if we had not encountered monkeys during our time here it would have been little more than a walk through a wood with a concrete path. Seeing the monkeys being fed made it more enjoyable.

What a beautiful glimpse of what the local flora of Barbados was. A very pleasant walk down (and yes, back up again) a gradual path with multiple zones. Numerous plaques along the way to explain what you were seeing and the relation to the island. Very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Yes they’re open! Great tour by Ashan, who’s been doing this for the last 18 years. Macau Palms, Bearded Fig Tree, Cocoa Trees, Caves, Bay Leaves, Nutmeg and much more!

Totally worth the 30bd each. We thought that seemed high but was definitely worth it. You can pick any little section of forest and investigate. It seemed the longer you looked at an area the more things would reveal themselves. Little insects, massive insects, fruits, birds, amazingly large trees, bamboos, snails, the list just grew and grew! Very nice stop and cool to see how the island may have looked way back when.

This is one of Barbados's Gems. A must see. This gully is the home of many native plant species. Do not leave Barbados without a visit. It is cool walking through the gully and forested area. We enjoyed a welcome break from the hot midday 🌞 ENJOY!

Absolutely beautiful forest and gully. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Even though we didn't see any monkeys, the staff were incredibly helpful in giving us tips / advice for where and when to see monkeys in the local area! Along the gully, there are white plaques with numbers on, which refer to a PDF. The PDF describes what the plants or features are and their history. The entrance has free WiFi, and toilets are available on site. One of the highlights for me was the number of chickens, hens, roosters and cats there were! The owner has 6 cats, all of whom were adorable.

Beautiful forest to visit..Very hot and a lot of history behind the forest. Wonderful experience!

Welchman Hall was lovely. The kids loved it and my 3 year old thought dinosaurs lived in there. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Nature walks, cave tours & picnics in a tropical valley home to a protected troop of green monkeys. Easy, paved walk through beautiful tropical forest in a collapsed cave Home of the grapefruit Monkey feeding Wheelchair friendly! Visit Welchman Hall Gully, and discover the origins of the grapefruit and meets a troop of wild monkeys. Explore the gully in the heart of Barbados! Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) The grapefruit is thought to have originated here at Welchman Hall Gully during the 17th century. It’s a cross between the naturally sweet orange (Citrus sinesis) and the Shaddock (C grandis). The fruit was quite common and was mentioned by George Washington in his Barbados journal (1750-1751) as “the forbidden fruit” and one of the local fruit available at a dinner party he attended.

This is an interesting place. It's a natural gully, not a manicured garden. Wind down the long pathway and return the same way. If your lucky you may see wild monkeys going feed. I've seen better but still worth a visit as there are pretty sceneries.

Nice view of the surrounding area. It has a smooth walking trail through the gully, making for an easy walk. Take your time and enjoy the different plants present. Don't forget to pet the cats around the parking area!

A world of its own within Barbados! Well maintained and interesting walk through a collapsed cave! Definitely do it with a guide - our guide explained so many more things growing there than what‘s on the info boards, his stories and infos gave everything a special touch! Thanks a lot for all we‘ve learned on our tour! If you wanna see the monkeys - don‘t be disappointed when it‘s raining ;)

Beautiful scenery in the heart of the island you wouldn't believe what this little nature trail holds in store for you. It's amazing that they were able to take the gully and transform it into a wonderful attraction such as this. Here you get to see what flora and fauna were on the island before its development. You get to see the monkeys as soon as you enter and speaking of entering, the way you do allows you to enter through a small cave. Pretty cool way to start the journey. Don't forget to go up the stairs to the lookout point for a fantastic view of the coast of the island and take some pictures.

This was a highlight of our holiday. We turned up for the 10.30 tour (no booking required) and Rochelle gave us a really interesting tour, explaining all the different plants and wildlife. She even managed to get the monkeys to come and say hello.

A lovely place; A great place to spend some calming hours. Reached through the village and small winding roads. This is like a mini tropical forest. In the local parlance it is called a gully. Arrive at the small car park and head to the small ticket office. A very nice lady was there with her cats. Friendly chickens in the car park. There is a cooler to buy refreshments including the local coconut water and some keep sakes such as nutmeg. We began our trip through a cave with a wooden boardwalk. Up some stairs to the look out point, with beautiful vistas of the parish and coast line. Back down to the ticket office past the toilets and the chickens. This may be a temporary route due to a recent landslide. Pass the monkey feeding station and the kids adventure course. Onto the concrete path and into the “forest”. With the help of the guide book we were able to identify the various numbered plants. A lush green environment, with all kinds of trees and foliage. There are some benches along the way. The gully is surrounded by a fallen cave, so there is evidence of stalagmites and stalactites. An original entrance to Harrison’s Cave is located somewhere in the gully. There is an old spring. We were delighted to discover that this is where the first grapefruits were cultivated/grafted. The tree was not marked but the evidence of the fallen fruit was a clue. The nutmeg grove was a point of interest. The ambient temperature changed at various stages of the walk. The one way journey took about an hour, as we ambled along. On the way back we were able to see a couple of young green monkeys. The toilet facilities were very good and clean. All in all it is a nice simple attraction- a time to just stop and be calm. Good shoes for walking and reasonable fitness is necessary. I am not sure how suitable for wheelchair users it would be. The kids would enjoy it. Harrison’s Cave Eco Park is also in close proximity.

Welchman hall gully is beautiful relatively short jungle hike with hundreds of millipedes and giant African snails and if you’re lucky you might even see a toad. You should definitely go on this trail when you are in Barbados!

A lovely place, in better times with a small cafe. Right now you can pick up some crisps and maybe a soft drink. The gully is varied and also home to a troop of green monkeys.

Awe-inspiring collapsed cave with lushious jungle inside. We paid 30BBD per person by card without a tour guide and we didn't need to book. They had free Wi-Fi and ample parking (~15 spaces). Unfortunately we did not get to see any monkeys or grapefruit, and I feel the information on their website can be ambiguous/misleading since we did not need to book and you don't need to pay for a tour guide. They should also make it clear they take card payment. The staff told us the monkeys like to sleep and hang out at the very back of the gulley, so be sure to venture off onto the gravel path at the end if you haven't seen any yet! They also said you'll most likely hear them before you see them, since they make clicking noises when a person gets close by.

if you ever in Barbados, this is a must visit place. you would not regret it. I would like to describe this place. as a place to relax and enjoy its atmosphere with a picnic. not to just take photos and rush out.

Awesome green vibes. Nice views and local ecosystems. 80% of biodiversity of the island is here. Great place to know about the land. Very informative.

Our young granddaughter loved this play. Although we missed feeding time because the website isn't clear, we got a close view of lots of monkeys as we walked down the beautiful gully. Glad to have a hard path to push the baby. And the playground was also a hot. The adults really enjoyed the visit too.

Lovely place to spend an hour. My children were thrilled to find a playground in a cool, shady and breezy spot to run around in for an hour after a walk through the gully.

We loved our tour but thought that maybe our group was a little too big. We spent a lot of time waiting for other members of the group to catch up or gather closer. Our guide was great and everything was beautiful.

Been to the Gully before and it didn't disappoint a second time. Beautiful location with wonderful flora and, as for fauna, lots of monkeys on our visit.

Interesting place to visit especially if you're looking for somewhere cool on a hot day. Great view from the top and very impressive stalagtite/mite formations in this collapsed cave.
