Barbados Wildlife Reserve

What a blast! We were the first ones to arrive, so we had no idea what to expect. First, we made our way to the watchtower and had a little adventure exploring it. It was so cool to see the old phone used to communicate with other towers across the island. You can see the ocean from the top floor. Next, we took a peaceful stroll through the woods on a path that had some stones slightly shifted by the trees and settling earth, but it was such a beautiful walk. Only recommended for those with good balance. It felt like we were in a jungle, with monkeys popping up around every corner! We never felt nervous, though, they were just hanging out, doing their thing. On our walk, we discovered a cave, with signs pointing the way, and learned that fruit bats hang out in there! We only saw one fly by, but definitely be cautious if you decide to go inside. Finally, we reached the monkey feeding area, and it was like a monkey party—there were probably a hundred of them munching on watermelon, sweet potatoes, and beets. You can get super close to them, but just remember, they’re wild animals. We even witnessed a little monkey drama, with a few fights, but for the most part, everyone was just chilling and enjoying their snacks. It was such an awesome experience!

If you want to see Barbados flora and fauna, don't miss this experience. Feeding times for the green monkeys provide a close up intimate opp for photos. Wear good shoes with grip There are trails and some cobblestone, so it's good to be prepared.

If you want to see the Green Tailed Monkeys and the Red Footed Tortoises then this is the spot. You can also see sentiments and caimans and roosters and peacocks as well. There is a bar to quench your thirst and sit back and relax within the reserve. Note: it is an open reserve so the animals could get aggressive when provoked. At 11AM the monkeys are fed a diet of fruits. You can take close up photos but don’t get too close and do not try to mess with their food. The uneven paths are made of the bricks recovered from the plantation kilns. Nice reserve - small and easy to navigate.

Very exciting adventure to see many animals including deer, monkeys, iguana, birds, turtles and many more. Bit of an uneven pathway to navigate but a lovely forestry to walk in with lots of shade. The monkeys were absolutely adorable during the feeding time and quite confident not really scared of humans as id thought they be. Would recommend to see the animals of Barbados.

Great little park with a load of cool animals. Don't miss the monkey feeding time, it's great and in a really nice setting. Well worth a trip, especially if your on route to the distillery anyway

Exceeded my expectations. I recommend coming during feeding time (2pm) and you'll get to see dozens of monkeys, turtles, deer, peacocks and, chicken and very funny scenes like monkeys sitting on turtles so that they don't get their feet wet (see pictures). There may be a feeding in the morning as well but I'm not sure.

We had a lovely afternoon here! Managed to see all the animals listed and timed it to see the feeding time, which was magical. The staff are friendly and the gardens are lovely. Reasonably priced and great fun.

OMG!! Cute!!! Adooooorable! We were greeted by two magnificent peacocks a curious monkey and three half attentive chickens at the lovely entrance courtyard. Then there were turtles galore! They feed the animals in the afternoon and that is quite a sight. Intriguing a little disgusting and also very funny! There is a crocodile in the pond as well. There is an aviary up the path, with frogs and crocodiles. There is enough wildlife, and an insane amount of antics! LOTS to see! Warning: some areas are stinky, likely where the chickens live. They have a really nice casual restaurant if you are hungry. While the
