Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary, Barbados — Attraction in undefined

OMG what a fabulous day! So beautifully designed with accessible pathways through mangroves and palms and incredible foliage sheltering birds and turtles and so much of what nature has to offer if we're willing to stop, be patient, watch and listen. The bird sanctuaries offered wild birds and tranquility, migratory and rescued and others, interactive and engaging. Saw iguanas and so many reptiles, all housed in pristinely clean and cared for sanctuary. The staff? Incredible! Welcoming, engaging, helpful and fun! Learned so much from Damian standing watch with the reptiles Robert, filled with evident passion in the migratory bird zone as well as from Annika and Nakila (forgive me if I got it wrong) in the Gully Aviary (so funny and knowledgeable - clearly love what they do) where I had birds eating from my hands and off my head 🤣 to Ryan in the tranquil wildlife haven which was exactly that, a breath of tranquil, fresh air. We even had Tony DaSilva, owner and protector of the trust who called us back to show us an Osprey perched gracefully across the lake and his love and passion for what he envisioned was so clear in the pride he exhibited; such a lovely man! The ladies at the ticket booth, staff along the paths, everywhere! Thank you. Words can not express my joy and I cannot recommend this enough as a perfect, peaceful, learning and enjoyable experience ! GO! You will...

Well worth a visit. The birds are the star of the show here. The migratory bird area where they keep unreleasable rescued migratory birds is very cool; you get to see lots of different species of native migratory shorebirds from close by. The two huge aviaries full of parrots and other flamboyant tropical birds from around the world are truly amazing. The space is large enough and rich enough that the birds can fly around and display natural behaviors, but they'll also come right up to you, eat out of your hand, or perch on your hat (or try to steal your sunglasses, in the case of one blue and gold macaw who took a fancy to my girlfriend). The chance to see one of the last pockets of mangrove wetlands left in Barbados is also...

Absolute must visit on your next visit to Barbados!!! The reinvigorated Sanctuary has brought fresh life to what was" just a swamp" before, is now a guardian of our natural heritage as an island in the tropics, the free flow trail through this wetland is perfect for nature lovers and children to interact with wildlife, while learning more about their environment! The new Aviary experience gives people the perfect opportunity to interact directly with birds usually seen in cages in zoos across the world, but being able to touch, feed and see up close our feathered friends ...
