Barbados Wildlife Reserve

This was the best place i went was to see monkeys and just driving around with Omar was so much fun! He taught us a lot and he was very thorough. I didn't get to do the turtle swim which was a huge bummer but the mo keys were cool and all the outside animals. Like the tortoise and the peacock 🦚 was super cool. It poured rain so it was overcast but the ocean was still nice!

We had a fun time visiting the Barbados Wildlife Reserve! Animals: The reserve is home to a variety of animals, including Barbados green monkeys, tortoises, iguanas, parrots, macaws, lovebirds, deer, and caimans. Monkey Feeding Time: The monkeys are most abundant during the afternoon feeding time, which occurs daily at 2:00 PM. Admission Fee: Adults US$15, Children US$7.50. Be aware of the monkeys: While generally not aggressive, caution is advised, especially during feeding time. Do not try to mimic them, as this can make them uneasy.

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!

Fantastic experience at the reserve. We went with a tour so unfortunately we didn’t get that much time there. The monkeys are adorable and so well behaved, they don’t mind us humans and just want to eat. The abundance of turtles is amazing

This was a great experience for the family. We saw an incredible amount of turtles and lots of monkeys, birds, reptiles, chicken and deer. It was a nice way to spend an hour or two. We also visited Grenade Hall Signal station which is on the other side of the parking lot. It was filled with trails for people of all abilities.

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.

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.

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
