The Islander Posted March 25, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hello, What does the tour include, which sites? Haven't been on the tour but might be able to comment about the places it covers. --Islander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stxman Posted March 25, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2010 The West end Highlights tour includes the Botanical Gardens, Whim Plantation, and the Lawetz Museum. These three locations are all very educational. You will recieve information about the islands flora and fauna, history, culture. The Botanical gardens are set on an old plantation and you will be able to walk through while your guide points out different plant life and gives information about each area you pass. The Whim plantation has been restored and holds many artifacts from the 17 and 1800's. You will recieve a walking tour of the great house and the property. including three different styles of sugar mills used in different time periods. Lawetz is another plantation located closer to the rain forest. and again you will get insight into plantaion life back during the sugar cane days. I have never actually taken the tour, but i have been to each site and if you are looking to experiance the history of the island this is a great way to do it. I believe on this tour you will be taken to each location by bus (about 25-30 people, depending on how many sign up.) The Islander may be able to give more information about each site as well. hope this helps, STXMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
