Actually due to the size of the St. Nicholas Abbey property, Cherry Tree Hill actually borders, St.Peter and St. Andrew. Many years ago, the drive on either side to get to it was flanked by cherry trees, thus the reason for its name; however these were replaced with mahogany trees which now line the road. The trees were planted in celebration of the signing of The Treaty of Paris in 1763

Best snorkeling ever!

This was an awesome experience! It included a lot, and we saw a lot, so it was a great value. The snorkeling was incredible! A must-do. Note: if you are looking for a booze cruise, this is not it. But so worth it.

Barbados city tour and turtle swim

We have a wonderful guide Steven, who was with us from beginning to end. Stop at sights he thought we would enjoy, and went out of his way to find bananas for me because our hotel never has them. Loved the nature park and the monkeys. The highlight was the swim with the turtles. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Experience Beautiful Barbados both Land & Sea

Lisa was absolutely amazing!! She was professional, prompt, and very knowledgeable about her island. She gave us so much information and tips that we may consider moving here. My wife and I were debating whether we should book the tour but we have zero regrets that we did. It was the perfect way to experience both the land and sea of Barbados. We can’t pick a favourite part of the trip since all of it was beautiful and that’s thanks to our tour guide. We forgot the names of the boat captains on Tranquility tours where we did the swimming with turtles; but I’d like to point out that both my wife & I are non-swimmers and these guys were so patient and accommodating that we didn’t miss our opportunity. They used floatation devices and carried us around to see the fish, shipwreck, and turtles. Thank you for such a wonderful time.

We did a private tour. Our guide Gwarmie (please excuse spelling) was brilliant. He made the tour. He knew his history and geography in detail which I loved and also new about the film, pop stars and celebs which our teenage kids loved. He went out of his way to show us the things that really interested us. We told him how much we loved Bajan music which played in between chats. Amazingly at the end of the tour he gave my daughters a flash drive with the music. Gwarmie was the star of the tour but we also loved the monkey feeding and of course the turtles which were so close in the sea. This is the best tour I’ve been on with best guide. Thank you.

Fun with wildlife and excellent trip through the countryside

Ryan was super friendly and provided us with so many fun facts as we drove around the island. Bathsheba was absolutely beautiful and made a great lunch stop. The monkeys and other wildlife were a joy to watch. Major photo opportunities.
