Harrison's Cave Zipline & Gully Challenge Adventure — Barbados Adrenaline Day
Fly above Jack in the Box Gully on a 100+ ft zipline and tackle a 14-element high ropes course at Harrison’s Cave Eco Adventure Park. This three-hour combo pairs adrenaline with a nature trail and Mount Gay rum history.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear enclosed shoes
Sneakers with good grip are required for ziplines and the obstacle course to protect feet and improve traction.
Hands-free rule
You’ll be required to stow cameras and phones — bring a secure locker or leave valuables at the visitor desk.
Mind the weight limit
Maximum participant weight is about 285 lbs; staff will assess harness fit for safety.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Caribbean heat and exertion can add up — drink water before and after the course and use shade between runs.

Conservation Note
Stay on marked paths and avoid feeding wildlife; the karst and gully ecosystems are sensitive to erosion and invasive species, so follow staff guidance to minimize impact.
Harrison’s Cave formed in limestone through millennia of groundwater erosion; nearby Mount Gay Distillery represents one of the island’s longest commercial histories tied to sugar and rum production.
