The process of cutting and carving a calabash bowl from the fruit is an incredibly enjoyable and creative activity that results in a unique keepsake. Equipped with a hacksaw (for cutting), a spoon (for scooping out), and a dremel or tool (for carving designs), you set off on a journey to transform a simple fruit into a functional work of art.
After this distinctive experience, you depart with a truly remarkable souvenir – a whimsical and functional bowl (or two) with a story to share. Whether as a reminder of an unforgettable trip or a treasured home decor item, your calabash bowl is sure to be a conversation piece, inspiring curiosity and admiration for your hands-on experience, creativity, and local craftsmanship.
Private tours and a “Grill and Chill” on the beach with fresh seafood and roasted breadfruit are also available upon request. This experience is #theultimatesouvenir! Most guests tell us this was the highlight of their trip — not because it’s extravagant, but because it feels authentic.
