I've made a reservation at Harrison's Cave for the four of us and got a taxi driver lined up. He's charging us $40 to take us there and then drop us off at The Boatyard after our tour. We're very pleased with the arrangement! :D

 

 

It does sound good. Who did you make the arrangments with? When do you go?

This exactly is what we would like to do. =)

 

Questions for you though, I've emailed Harrison Cave twice since last week to make the reservation for the tram tour however I have not received any email reply. How long did it take for you to hear back from them? I don't want to take the taxi out there and find out that it's all sold out. Did you receive any confirmation back from them?

Ah yes... for some reason Harrison's Cave reservations are not an easy issue. :rolleyes: I sent 4 different emails and had Sanjay (our taxi driver) go in and try to find out info for us. I finally got a response after the multiple emails, confirming our reservation time and telling us to be there 30 minutes before.

 

Here's the contact info from that email:

 

Wendy Luke (sales associate) at reservations@harrisonscave.com

 

Good luck! :)

Just returned from our cruise and our Barbados plans went amazingly well. Unfortunately Sanjay Kini had a teaching commitment (his other job) and was unable to drive us. He emailed me well beforehand to let me know and got another taxi driver to fill in. Sanjay actually came to meet us that morning at the terminal to make sure everything went well.

 

Our new driver took us to the Caves for our 9:00am tour (we were on the 1st tour of the day, well ahead of the cruise ship crowds). He waited until we were done and then drove 4 of us to The Boatyard and another 2 back to the ship.

 

Entry to The Boatyard included the shuttle back to the ship. Both Harrison's Cave and The Boatyard were wonderful! It was a great day!! :cool:

Hi Canadarocks, I know your post is from last year, but what you described is also what our group of four wants only we would like to go from the Cave to Gun Hill Signal Station and flower gardens. Is there an e-mail address you can provide?

Not a problem. My contact is Sanjay Kini - barbadosfun@gmail.com

 

He's a very nice man and will customize a tour for you. Tell him Cindy sent you. He's received quite a few requests from my referrals here. :)

 

Just realized I already posted his email on this thread as well as one for Harrison's Caves. So not sure what you're looking for? :confused:

This is exactly what I'm trying to plan. How long does it take to do the tram tour at Harrison's Cave? Did you also have a good amount of time to spend at The Boatyard too?

I think the tour itself was about 45 minutes and we had tons of time at The Boatyard. :)
