Our travel guide was great and very knowledgeable. She showed us around the lovely property. We learn about the many plants and herbs and how they are used. We fed a donkey and learned about chocolate and coconuts. We even got to drink water and taste a freshly cut coconut. We also took some nice pictures.

We went on the historical tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Jonathan was our guide around the traditional Carib village, herb and spice garden, cocoa bean processing, coconut harvesting and more. We were treated to fresh mangoes and coconuts picked especially for us and prepared by Terry. It was great value for money, around $11 (USD). We went in the morning and felt like we had the estate to ourselves and as we were leaving around 1PM large coaches of visitors from cruises/organised tours arrived so we would recommend going in the morning if you want a more private/peaceful tour. Definitely worth doing especially if you want some island history or if you're going to the nearby mud baths and waterfall. It's also nearby to Hotel Chocolat/Project Chocolat so is a good (and much cheaper!) alternative for seeing how raw cocoa beans are processed into a form ready for making chocolate. It's a good precursor to the bean to bar experience. Definitely worth the trip if you have a car to travel there.

Had a very informative tour of the estate with Jonathan our guide. Coconut tasting was great with Terry. Highly recommended and very reasonable price for the tour (approx £10 per person)

For this tour, I was paired with Vinia, who was s1uch a lovely person to talk with. She knew her history and had me sample a lot of tasty treats : sugar cane, tamarind, cocoa beans, cocoa nips, coconut and even marshmallow coconut ! I got to understand how people lived, to learn about a bunch of different trees, plants and flowers grown locally, and to view live demonstrations - whether it was the famous Coco Rina dance or the dehusking coconuts. I highly recommend this tour to anyone curious about learning more about St-Lucia while expanding their taste buds.

An impressive demo of the processing of cocoa beans and the method of getting to the edible parts of coconuts. I was surprised how labour intensive these activities demand. The demos were expertly shared by one of the dryest, throwaway humerist Andrew and his energetic and able machete wielding sidekick. A good pair of stout lads to demonstrate the donkey driven grinding mill too! The replica Carib village was worth exploring. Finished with a Creole buffet lunch.
