What we will do

An excursion dedicated to the two most beautiful gardens in Saint Vincent.
Surrounded by the atmosphere of the “old world”, the Botanic Gardens are entirely different from the Montreal Gardens, located on the top of a hill.
The island’s lush tropical landscape is a perfect environment for the marvellous plants and exotic animals that live there.
Our tour begins by passing through the lively centre of Kingstown, characterised by a combination of historic and modern buildings.
At the centre of the capital, there is a monument dedicated to the courageous inhabitants of Saint Vincent who lost their lives during the First World War.
We then enjoy a relaxing visit to the peaceful Botanic Gardens, opened in 1765.
The gardens cover 8 hectares and are full of tropical flora thriving in their natural environment. There, we can wander around looking for coconut, bamboo and palm trees and admire endangered parrot species.
We continue with a picturesque 45 minute transfer to the splendid Montreal Gardens hidden in the Mesopotamia valley.
This area is commonly known as the granary of Saint Vincent because of its fertile land.
The Montreal Gardens are located on a hill 450 metres asl dominating the Mesopotamia valley, a rich agricultural area at the foothills of the central mountain range, providing a spectacular view. From there, we can admire the enchanting panorama of the surrounding peaks and valleys. The gardens are complete with paths, bridges, steps, tunnels and a stream and are impressive due to their wild exuberance.
