Overview

Spend a memorable afternoon stepping back in time at St. Nicholas Abbey, one of the Caribbean’s most treasured attractions. This beautifully preserved plantation house is believed to be one of the last remaining authentic seventeenth-century homes in the “New World.” Explore the Great House, discover the history of the estate and its gardens, and learn about its award-winning rum, with an opportunity to enjoy a sample along the way. For the ultimate heritage experience, climb aboard the beautifully restored steam engine and journey from the Abbey station to Cherry Tree Hill and back, enjoying breathtaking views of Barbados’ scenic east coast along the way. All aboard! Choose from two experiences: the Great House & Distillery Tour, or the Great House, Distillery & Heritage Railway Tour. Please select your preferred option when booking.
