Botanic Garden & Montebello Rum Distillery

Delight in the scenic beauty and bounty of lush, tropical Basse-Terre on a 3.5-hour tour that begins with a picturesque drive past pretty villages and dense rainforest foliage to the north side of the island, where you'll find a fragrant botanical garden awaiting your discovery. Stroll among exotic floral blooms and tropical plants on a walk through Le Domaine de Valombreuse, a wonderfully refreshing botanical garden. After filling your camera with spectacular photos of colorful blooms, continue on to the Montebello Rum Distillery. Here on this working estate, you'll walk with your guide through the grounds detailing the distillery's history and production methods. Enjoy a taste of tropical rum punch in the tasting room that also serves as a gift shop where you can by "spirited" souvenirs. A scenic drive returns you to port.
