Bridgetown to St Nicholas Abbey and Harrison's Cave day trip

Step back in time at this perfectly preserved 17th-century sugar plantation, where Jacobean architecture houses working rum distillery operations and a heritage railway journey through tropical cane fields. Choose from several tour options, varying from a simple train ride to a full tour of the rum distillery and plantation. When you explore the plantation Great House, notice its authentic period furnishings, family portraits, and artifacts revealing three centuries of plantation life and social history. Experience traditional rum production using copper pot stills and time-honored methods while tasting premium aged rums and learning about sugar cane cultivation techniques. On the train ride, you'll ride the narrow-gauge steam railway through surrounding cane fields where heritage carriages provide scenic tours past working plantation areas and restored buildings. (Please make your tour reservations ahead of time directly with the Abbey.)
