We drove through areas we would have never seen otherwise, hiked to a waterfall, took a tour of a banana plantation, drank rum punch on a beautiful beach and then visited the rum distillery for a tasting. We were staying in Marigot Bay and it was just about a 10 minute drive. We had a family of 5 - two adults and three teens. We felt safe and the teens loved the experience.

We didn’t go to the Casteries Market but I think that’s because our hotel is very near the distillery so it didn’t make sense. All in all it was great, the guide and driver were lovely! Would do it again”
