Visit Bequia's last remaining plantation, Firefly Plantation, whose homestead is still intact. This rustic gem is set on 30 acres of picturesque hillside, refreshed by the soothing Atlantic breezes.
A guided walk introduces you to the plantation's orchard, where you will discover a variety of Caribbean citrus fruits, plums, cherries, guava, and breadfruit. As you stroll through the lush grounds, watch a demonstration of traditional 17th-century sugar cane juice extraction techniques -- a glimpse into the island's agricultural history. Your guide, the head groundskeeper, explains the processes involved in cultivating these tropical delights and shares a brief history of the estate and its old sugar mill. Try refreshing coconut water straight from the shell and taste the fresh coconut itself.
Unwind with a refreshing drink and a delicious lunch. Relish the flavors of the Caribbean while taking in the serene surroundings.
Conclude your visit with a scenic journey back to the pier.
