This is a great place to visit, and easy to get to by bus so no need for a taxi. The cave is amazing to see and you get some gorgeous views of the Atlantic. Stopped for some fishcakes and fries before going for the bus home. They were delicious. We got in for half price as the cave was closed for swimming due to heavy seas which was a bonus, didn't want to swim in it to be fair. A great half day out.

What an amazing experience. While I was disappointed that the lower area wasn't open with the anemones, the experience of being in the caves close to the Atlantic waves was amazing. Seeing the coral rock structures was fascinating and then all this was topped off by swimming in the graduating deep pool. Just as I thought it couldn't get any better ... a fabulous restaurant with great menu, friendly staff and amazing food on top of a cliff ! A recommended visit to anyone visiting the island.

Had the best time at Animal Flower Cave! The caves are stunning, well worth going down, and the restaurant simply incredible! One of the best experiences in my time in Barbados! The food was unbelievable, especially the stewed guava over coconut ice cream, which was recommended to me by one of the waiters. It was heavenly! And I ended up with the best view for my meal! 100% would recommend and if I'll ever make it to Barbados again, I will be back!

The perfect way to end a visit to the gorgeous underground limestone caverns. The food at the restaurant is both fresh and a joy to behold. Great welcome and service we felt right at home. Would recommend the breadfruit shell tacos!

Great food, excellent service, and phenomenal views. Can’t ask for much else. It’s not the easiest and cheapest to get to the restaurant/caves sometimes, but is extremely worth it. Highly recommend ending your meal with a coffee. They bring you out a little French press and the coffee is delicious, especially while overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

Lovely, open space with breathtaking scenic views. The cliffside restaurant has a nice, laid-back ambience and the fresh sea breeze and ocean views add to the entire experience. The menu offers a variety of dishes prepared from local ingredients. After partaking in the delectable fare, exploring the underground cave is a must-do! Would definitely recommend!

Impressive and dramatic coast line. Impossible to swim here but there are lots of benches allowing you to take in the view. A good restaurant on site and a well stocked gift shop. A sign mentions the site is closed on Monday so do keep that in mind.

Excellent location and food! Worth a visit if you're on the island for a unique shoreline cliff view unlike the other beaches. The restaurant has seating with a gorgeous view and serves fresh caught fish specials that are marvelous.

Absolutely amazingly peaceful. You have to make your way up here. Get out the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy some different natural beauty Barbados has to offer!! I HIGHLY recommend you go down to the caves. A local Bajan will chat your ears off as he gives you a mini tour of the caves and please promise me you will take a swim in the caves. It’s so refreshing.

Wonders of Nature! Simply gorgeous, no other words to quantify it. Seeing is believe. Due to strong winds and tide, no swimming in the cave but still worth the experience and view outside the cave is incredible too. You can get lost in the beauty. Screensaver worthy shots👌🏾

I visited here a few years ago with my mom. The cave and scenery around there was beautiful. This was a relaxing place to visit and just enjoy nature. Our tour guide, Tarsus, was wonderful as well. I highly recommend visiting here while on Barbados.

Some staff ignored us as we entered and said hello, although I wouldn't be happy if I was working on boxing day either. Half of our drinks didn't arrive until the main course, nearly an hour later. Otherwise food was good and the view is nice. The cave is 40bbd per person (as of 2023) and comes with a tour guide who explains the history of the cave. Bring swimwear or shoes which you don't mind getting wet if you have poor balance.

even that I live in Barbados I did not went to the animal flower cave over 5 years now. so I have some friend is visiting an I say come my friends we have to go and see this beautiful place called animal flower cave. and everyone loved it including myself. it was a breath of fresh air amazing sight to see.

My second visit here. This place is breathtaking, fantastic walk along the cliffs with the sea spray coming out of holes. You'll need good footwear and suncream as although it feels cooler being at the top of the North Coast, its actually incredibly hot. There's a little cafe on site and toilets too.

If you're doing both the cave tour with swimming and a meal, please go for the meal first!!! Animal flower cave and the restaurant were both wonderful experiences which I thoroughly enjoyed, however we arrived around 2pm, with a meal booked for 3pm, so chose to do the cave tour first. The cave tour was brilliant, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly! Seeing the inside of the cave was fascinating, and we got the opportunity to swim in the natural pool at the end of the cave. It was so exciting getting a close up view of the waves crashing into the side of the cave! After the cave tour, there is an outdoor shower you can use to rinse off, and toilets you can get changed in. I found this quite stressful, as there were only 2 toilet cubicles, and the cave water leaves you feeling quite sticky, so it's hard to get changed again. As a result, this meant that when we went for the meal, we all felt a little bit gross and worse-for-wear. Granted, this is absolutely no fault of Animal Flower Cave, and purely our own planning! The meal was wonderful! 10/10 for food quality, taste and quantity. I ordered the Pork & Black Bean Burroti, which came with a small salad. This was wonderful. The blended fruit punch was also delicious. I would definitely come back here to try more of their delicious menu items!

Animal Cave is in the northern point of Barbados, if you were to stay at the crane resort which is in the southern point it takes one hour to reach animal cave. From Harrison’s cave it took 35 minutes. This is the second best attraction in the area. The views are beautiful and relaxing, the mountain ranges are steep and you have to be cautious if you were near the edges. There are no beaches here. There is a 8feet depth swimming which I didn’t do. The cost is 20 USDollars for a person.

The view of the sea and the edge of the cliff next the Animal Flower Cave is simply stunning. Didn't go into the Animal Flower Cave as I was advised that it's too pricey

Great experience from all the staff and the "animal flowers" were very interesting. There are some great spots to take great photos. If you're lucky and the weather is good you might get to go for a swim.

Absolutely knocks the breath out of you when you walk up and see what you are there to view. Our apartment's landlord stated he was taking us to his favorite spot on all of the island. We weren't even ready for what we were to see. How absolutely gorgeous of a site that God would create! I would love to come back and just sit, read, watch, eat, and be inspired all day long.

The Animal Flower Caves is an incredible coral cave formation. Imagine a gigantic coral reef... One massive enough to wander inside of... That's what the Animal Flower cave is like. I thoroughly enjoyed it but would warn anyone who has mobility difficulties that it is not at all accessible and can be a bit tricky to get your footing.

Excellent food with a stunning view. The cave is worth the entry - absolutely stunning! Don‘t forget to walk past the restaurant to the northernmost tip of Barbados. As almost always - the later there, the better!

Animal Flower sea cave is surprisingly big and enjoyable to tour - you should plan water shoes and bathing suit to enjoy the cool clear pool at end. The sea worms are almost gone though a few examples are still present. This destination should be high on your list of Barbados sites to see once. FYI this is a privately owned tourist destination. Bring cash in case CC machine not working as we experienced. Restaurant meal was delicious and the cliff-side seating was unique - we enjoyed roaring of waves crashing up and sending plumes of bubbly water out. We watched fishing boats at sea dodging rock reefs to get their catch.

Amazing views from the outside,good mix of traders stalls. The caves are reached via some very deep steps, once down, it becomes very slippy, so sensible shoes advised. The caves are interesting and nice to see . Our guide was a young man who was not great, to be honest. The cliff top view is the best thing ,the cave was nice but not amazing, only found 3 flowers/ animals...

Brilliant. Well organised, friendly. Really nice restaurant where we had a superb lunch with a view to die for. The cave was great. All in all well worth the short drive north.

It was a beautiful drive to get there. The cave and scenery is AMAZING. the downside was due to covid things were closed and the tide was so high we could not go deeper into the cave that most get to. They say Jan-March is the best time.

The restaurant is very good, a bit pricey and portions aren't overly generous, but we were happy overall. Service is friendly. You do have to pay an additional B$25 per person to visit the caves, but it's well worth it. Reservations aren't always required but recommended and easy enough to arrange online.

It was our dream to visit this cave and it was great. Make sure you also try their food. Loved the fish cakes.

The cave is beautiful and an absolute natural wonder. If you have a hard time going up and down steep stairs, I do not recommend the tour. It is not wheelchair or people with physical disability friendly. I even had a hard time coming out of it. It's like climbing up some rocks, but if you are in good shape, no problem at all getting in and out. Be careful walking around in there. I don't recommend wearing sandals down there if you are a first timer. Please wear tennis shoes or aqua socks with a thick sole on the bottom because those rocks are rocky and there is water. Wear your swim suit if you want to take a dip in the pool. The water is cool, but feels great. There is a steady drop and it gets to about 10 ft deep. There are rocks that at the bottom of the pool so this is where your aqua socks come in. Swimming in that pool is the best part, but please be careful. The animal flowers are cute. Also known as sea anemones. Sometimes they are in there and other times they get washed out. Just like sometimes the cave is closed because of the water and sometimes you cannot swim. I would call ahead before making the drive all the way out there to make sure that the cave is open.

Cool place to visit with breathtaking views of the ocean! It's a must do if you enjoy scenic jaunts other than the average beach views. The wind played a part in this experience for us as it really churned up the ocean where the waves met the jagged rocky shore!

Our group liked it. It was shorter to get to the caves than you think. We were greeted by Andrea who was lovely. Our tour guide was Don who was very knowledgeable. You go down some steep stairs and you were right in the caves. Take pictures! After the tour guide walks you around, you have about 15-20 minutes in the water caves were you can swim and float. The food is WORTH IT. Best Breadfruit Tacos and Fish Cakes. Our server was Jamaliaya (unsure of spelling) and we all loved her. 10/10.

Nice drive from Bridgetown not to far and the views are amazing. The cliffs were stunning as well as the pools and cave. Price was a touch high to go in the cave, but you only live once and might only be in Barbados once. Just spend it. Over all good 2-4hr day trip away from the city.

Definitely add this to your itinerary. Lovely views of the coast and plenty of opportunities for nice photos. The day I went the cave was closed due to choppy weather. Maybe cal ahead of time to see if the cave will be open.

I really loved the ride to the cave. Nice country side with tons of white butterflies. The cave is absolutely amazing. Make sure you wear something to go for a light quick swim in the natural pool inside the cave. It was disappointing only see 1 rock with animal flowers on it but nonetheless it was amazing!! The views are nice. Make sure you also bring cash to buy something from locals and tour guides.

One of the recommended must see places when in Barbados. It was indeed very pretty. The views are also very beautiful. There is a tourist shop located there so that you can purchase items as well. Overall, enjoyable place to spend some time while visiting

I enjoyed eating at the restaurant. The food tasted great. The view is absolutely amazing. I would recommend it. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because of the "cave tour". It is not worth the price ($40 BDS) in my opinion. But some people might get more out of it if they swim in the natural pool inside the cave. I would have preferred to spend the extra money in the restaurant. Having said that, I would recommend going to see the spectacular views from above the cave. Take a look at some of my photos, including 1 from inside the cave. I love Barbados!

Spectacular views and breeze, a must stop IF you love views and sea breeze. There is a part for children to play and a cliff side Cafe. There are a couple blow holes and one section outside of the flower cave part itlsef where you can walk down to the ocean front with proper gear that you don't have to pay for. (HINT: TURN RIGHT BEFORE THE ENTRANCE TO THE ANIMAL FLOWER CAVE, you'd be right behind / adjacent to, the Solar Farm.

Would have given 5* but the restaurant manager was rude upon paying our bill stating we wouldn't have seated us by the cliff view if he knew we weren't going to eat. 1) we didn't decide on drinks only when we arrived 2) prices are very expensive The cave tour was very good. You have to have a guide but at the doorway it says "enter at your own risk", so our guide told off some Americans who had ventured in themselves. Basically there is a big lack of customer service here. The views of the crashing waves were very good

Great place to visit the Northern part of Barbados. Beautiful views. Restaurant with lots of seating available and playground for kids to enjoy. We were not able to go down into the caves, but definitely worth a visit next time

It's really amazing, $20us to go in the cave with a tour guide, you can swim inside the cave. The food at the restaurant was very good. Get the breadfruit tacos!

The ocean is incredible. Could have watched the waves all day. The view inside the cave is amazing. Very slippery in the cave. Not easy walking. But it is worth the effort.

This place is a must-see. It has breathtaking views and the cave experience is pretty cool too. If you take the tour you will have a chance to swim in the cave. So pack accordingly. I would recommend adding this to your to do list in Barbados!

This was amazing, you gobto the desk and buy a ticket, then wait for your tour guide. They take you inside the cave, the steps are quite narrow so you need non-slip shoes to go down. Otherwise you could slip on the rocks with some bring loose. It's a nice experience to do though, and there is a little shop, restaurant, and cafe to get drinks, good or ice-cream. They are located near yo where you buy a ticket.

What an amazing experience!!!! Visited Barbados in Nov 2022 to go on a cruise with Royal Carribean Rhapsody of the Seas. It was an adventure itself to make it to the northernmost tip of the island so we could visit the Animal Flower Cave. For you to get the most of your trip there - I recommend renting a car, read about navigating through traffic Barbados and roundabouts before attempting to drive, and making sure you've got a map because there were times that GPS was not available. We are from Canada, the driver seat is on the other side and in Barbados you are also driving on the other side of the road. But, oh wow. It was worth making the trip there - the feeling is like encountering a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow when you finally get to the spot. One of the best experiences we had in Barbados.

Such a beautiful experience. The restaurant was wonderful, both the quality of food and the service! And we were in awe of the views! The cave was gorgeous and refreshing, although a bit too short of a tour for our liking. The entire experience has left a great impression on us! A must-see and do in Barbados!
