The most touristy thing we did was probably visit Harrison's Cave. I think it was the only place where we really felt like there were a lot of tourists. Barbados is the only Caribbean island that is not a volcanic formation, and is actually made of coral. Water erosion through the limestone created the caves, and the calcium rich water forms stalactites and stalagmites in the process.
To visit the caves, you get on a little tram with a tour guide to take you deep into the depths of the caves.
It was basically raining inside, with water dripping constantly from the ceiling. Our tour guide wore a shower cap to protect her 'do.
Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to swim, although at 27 degrees inside the cave, it wouldn't have been unpleasant. Not quite cool enough for Champagne storage however....
