Great Learning Experience - It is hard work to make your own chocolate bat but well worth it!!! The tour is informative and you get to see everything that goes into making chocolate. You also get to name a baby plant, so put your thinking cap on!! Super fun and unique experience.

Exciting Day - Perry was very friendly, helpful and polite. He provided us with many interesting information about Saint Lucia in general. He took lots of pictures of us while in the mud bath and falls. Excellent tour guide!

Great Fun ! - As an avid chocolate enthusiast, this was an excellent tour to take part in. The cocoa plantation was incredibly fascinating and the staff were very knowledgeable and patient to answer questions . The chocolate making was great fun and would be suitable for all ages ! There was also delicious ‘street food’ stalls on site which was a nice way to end the tour . Would highly recommend visiting !

Great family experience - The tree to bar tour was well worth the money. The lunch provided was very good. MY family ( which included two boys 19 & 21) had a blast making our own chocolate bars,(which is not as easy as you think). The staff was friendly and helpful.

Informative and fun - This tour is not something we normally would have done but the positive reviews and recommendations made it a priority. Pros: Beautiful gardens, art, and landscaping Friendly and knowledge (and fun) tour guides Delicious chocolate Peppermint towels at end of first section Bottled water during the tree part Clean bathrooms on site Chocolate making activity was fun for all ages Cons: Restaurant was meh Some restaurant staff was 5/10 on the friendly scale It was super hot, even for us as Floridians… some of the areas on the tree to bar were in a greenhouse type of environment which allowed for no breeze $80 would have been more of a fair price
