Climb aboard your transportation and head to the Firefly Plantation, an enchanting old estate homestead. This rustic gem, set on 30 acres of picturesque hillside, is continually refreshed by the soothing breezes of the Atlantic. Upon arrival, embark on a guided walk through 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, your knowledgeable guide will demonstrate traditional 17th-century sugar cane juice extraction techniques, offering a fascinating glimpse into the island’s agricultural history. You’ll also have the chance to enjoy refreshing coconut water straight from the shell and taste the fresh coconut itself.
Throughout the tour, you can sample fruits that are in season, while your guide, the head groundsman, explains the processes involved in cultivating these tropical delights and shares a brief history of the estate and its old sugar mill. After exploring the orchard, 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 tender pier and your waiting ship, bringing with you memories of a delightful day spent at the charming Firefly Plantation.
