Fodor's Expert Review Barbados Wildlife Reserve

This reserve at the top of Farley Hill is the habitat of herons, innumerable land turtles, screeching peacocks, shy deer, elusive green monkeys, brilliantly colored parrots (in a large walk-in aviary), snakes, and a caiman. Except for the snakes and the caiman, the animals run or fly freely—so step carefully and keep your hands to yourself. Feeding times (10 am and 2 pm) are your best chances to glimpse green monkeys.

Admission to the reserve also includes admission to nearby Grenade Hall Signal Station (a 19th-century lookout tower) and Forest.
