Welchman Hall Gully

Monkeys not guaranteed. They say feeding between 10:30 and 12:00 but they haven’t been around for a bit. However after talking to the staff they went off to find them and encourage them down as the troop is fairly young they’re nervous of humans. If your into millipedes, snails, slugs and a couple of scrawny chickens then this is the place for you. A nice walk through the gully but not much else.

Any opportunity to see a monkey, is an opportunity I will take! Luckily we were blessed with a fantastic series of monkey interactions here in Welchman Hall Gully! Our first experience was about 10 minutes in as the monkeys were walking down from the back of the gully towards the entrance. This was around 12:00 PM. We just sat enjoying the monkeys as they passed by. Afterwards we proceeded to walk through the entire park area. The environment is unique and interesting. We found an area where the cave roof had collapsed which we enjoyed to see. On the way back we got to the visitors center and the women at the front told us to come to the back because she was gonna feed the monkeys. That was the best part of the experience. It was so amazing seeing the monkeys tear through bananas! That was around 1:00PM. We were some of the only people there for about an hour and a half. Often times it was just us with the monkeys.

Welchman Hall Gully is a wonderful place for a scenic hike and to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. It’s peaceful, educational, and perfect for exploring at your own pace. The gully was once part of a large limestone cave that collapsed, creating the lush tropical ravine you see today. Keep an eye out for the Green Monkeys, they’re absolutely adorable and often spotted playfully moving through the trees. A visit here offers a perfect mix of relaxation and discovery.

This place is absolutely stunning. You can visit it by yourself but if you want to understand what you're looking at, I strongly recommend you join the free guide at 10:30 (might change in the future so check with them what time it is). You can get some drinks and snacks from the ticket office. If you're lucky, you'll even get to see some monkeys. It's a splendid place and would strongly recommend spending some time here while in Barbados.

This was a wonderful family activity. Welchman Hall Gully is a beautiful, peaceful sanctuary. We saw the monkeys and fed the chickens and enjoyed the opportunity to see the evidence of the cave structures and the gorgeous plants. There is a lovely paved walkway and plenty of places to sit and rest along the path.

Beautiful, needs lots of clean up. Money feeding is from 10:30-12, whenever the monkeys show up. They don’t live here. The day we visited they didn’t show up at all. We still enjoyed the walk. The free guide that can be downloaded in the entry hit is informative.

Had a great time with my 4 year old girl and 9 year old boy. They both throughly enjoyed the tour and the play park. The trail was clearly well maintained and a great space to be in. Very relaxing and stress relieving. Our tour guide was very informative and extremely knowledgeable.

This is possibly the birthplace of the grapefruit, but is definitely filled with green monkeys. Be warned : the path can be slippery when wet; walking off the path is at your own risk; do not walk under the coconut trees; branches may fall from time to time. If you hear a cracking, knocking, or rumbling sound or see trees starting to lean, please return to the car park as soon as possible.
