If you’ve ever wondered what an agouti looks like, you’ll find out at the Barbados Wildlife Reserve.
Along with these cute forest-dwelling rodents you’ll see deer, armadillos, iguanas, monkeys, flamingos and peacocks. The open reserve presents animals in their natural environment, and the reserve’s hordes of Barbados green monkeys are free to come and go as they please.
It’s a good idea to time your visit for around 2pm, when the animals emerge from the surrounding forest to be fed. After you’ve visited the reserve, drop into the adjacent Grenade Hall forest for views from the signal station, as entry is included in your ticket.

We had a great time on this tour! Our guide, Lisa, was funny and told us all about the island. Harrison's Cave tour was a bit drawn out, but we're glad we went. The Animal Preserve was interesting with all the animals up close and swimming with the turtles was the best part! Lunch was delicious (get the fish and use the hot sauce!). We definitely recommend this tour - it's great for one day or a cruise stop or just to learn more about the island.
