Description:

Get acquainted with the historic architecture and European influence on this island paradise, then visit a lush, botanical garden for a close-up look at the very best of Caribbean flora.

Your tour guide introduces you to Bath Springs and historic Bath Hotel, the first resort to be built in the Caribbean. The thermal springs were originally built to accommodate English lords and ladies, earning the nickname “Queen of the Caribbees.”

Visit the Nelson Museum and explore the life of its namesake influential British Admiral, who called the island home in the late 1700s. Memorabilia and artifacts from the life of Horatio Nelson can be seen on display throughout the museum. See St. John’s Anglican Church, also known as Fig Tree Church, where the admiral married his bride in 1779.

Many of the hotels and resorts on this tour were once owned by rich plantation owners who cultivated the island soil. Hermitage Inn is one of them—dating to the late 1600s, it is considered the oldest surviving house in the Caribbean.

The tour ends with an optional stop at the Botanical Gardens. Relax in the tranquil and fragrant oasis while you marvel at towering Mount Nevis in the background. In the rainforest conservatory, explore a lost temple where flowers and plants are nestled in between the sacred structures.
