Loved the train ride and views. Wished we’d taken the entire ride. Great hosts as well. Very informative as well. Definitely worth the ride

Great Experience

It was my son’s birthday and we took the family for the experience. We had a great time and did the distillery tour as well.

A Wonderful Experience!

My most memorable part of this trip was the wealth of historical information that the train operator Michael has. The staff is friendly and very helpful. It’s simply a wonderful experience.

Must-do

This is a must-do family activity in Barbados. We really enjoyed the train ride, looking around the house and the bird cages. We stopped for freshly cooked fish cakes and took some rum home. Great for adults and children!

A ride to remember .

The scenery to the location was refreshing, full of life and lush. Upon arrival we paid at the front entrance for the tour .There was a shop you can purchase light refreshments, drinks and washroom facilities outside the train area. The hand sanitizer had an unique and interesting scent, lovely.Young children were allowed on the train with supervision. The train ride has informative history about Barbados environment . The view is beautiful, the train's speed isnt swift , there is enough to see as the train goes by . I will recommend especially for families . Souvenirs were seen for purchase at the lookout area or one of the stops. This is a breathtaking view and must see /do while in Barbados .
