Half Day Shore Excursion to Marigot Bay with Rum Tasting

Transform your brief visit into a curated, unforgettable snapshot of St. Lucia’s culture, history and flavours. This compact, half-day experience offers a tipple-tasting stop in a legendary rum distillery in Marigot Bay. But beyond this, you'll learn about Castries' heritage, its foundation and other essential parts of its history, which ended up shaping the capital city that it is today. You will even have the opportunity to observe traditional silk batik methods in action (the way Saint Lucians traditionally create fabric for clothes). I love leading this tour because every time I share the stories and flavours of St. Lucia, I see visitors light up with wonder. There’s nothing more rewarding than to help someone foreign to the island to see see it the way I do every day.
