Summary

Following pickup from your hotel or the cruise ship terminal, your guide takes you on a visit to Harrison's Cave. Here, board an electric tram for a tour that winds through limestone tunnels past waterfalls, streams, and pools as well as ancient stalactites and stalagmites. Afterward, you'll stop in the fishing village of Bathsheba for a look at the coastline and pounding surf. Pass by the Morgan Lewis Windmill in St. Andrew and learn about this historic site—it's one of only two windmills of its type left standing in the Caribbean. Admire magnificent views from Cherry Tree Hill en route to St. Nicholas Abbey. This 17th-century sugar plantation is a historical treasure that includes a Jacobean mansion and on-site rum distillery with a working steam engine that crushes the cane during harvest season. Once your tour of the abbey is complete, you will be taken back to your hotel or the cruise port.
