Explore centuries of layered colonial and indigenous history with a specialist local historian in an intimate group of no more than eight. Uncover stories no guidebook captures.
What to expect
Your guide — a published local historian — leads you through the port's old quarter, narrating the interplay of indigenous, colonial, and maritime histories with vivid personal insight. You'll step inside a centuries-old estate house not open to standard tours, sample a heritage rum at a family-run distillery, and browse a working artisan workshop. The small group format means questions are welcomed and the itinerary flexes around your curiosity.
Good to know
Comfortable walking shoes essential; roughly 3 km of walking on cobblestone and uneven terrain. Group departs from a landmark near the pier — exact meeting point confirmed on booking. Pre-book at least 2 weeks ahead; this sells out on busy port days.
