See and taste all the processes for coconut, cocoa and sugar over the course of this 1 hour tour.Start your tour after meeting your guide at the predetermined location. Make your way through a small village of replica stick huts similar to those used two centuries ago by local villagers. The gardens around offer close-up views of the more popular local flora. The professional guide will then lead you through the medicinal herbal garden where you will learn about nature's own healing remedies. The grandeur of the Monplaisir family's estate house will be next on the list. Take plenty of photos before the next demonstration.

For the next activity, the guide will explain the process of dehusking a coconut to you. Learn how to dry the copra in your oven before enjoying a taste of coconut water and jelly. After enjoying the bay view from the point, you will have the opportunity to taste a ripe cocoa bean at the cocoa and coffee house. Watch the process of fermentation, bean drying, and the cocoa dance used to polish the dried beans. End the tour after visiting the mule driven sugar cane mill with a tasting of fresh cane juice.
