Mamiku Gardens
Imagine a garden owned and created by St. Lucia's most renowned landscape designer. This you will find at Mamiku Estate, where shaded paths guide you amongst St. Lucia's most exotic plants and flowers, to rest by a limpid pool, in the Secret Garden or, perhaps, amongst the ruins of the 18th century Estate House, with its commanding view over the bay of Praslin.

You may bathe in the waterfall, wander through the forest trails, and learn as much as you like about St. Lucia's rich agricultural heritage or simply sit on the verandah awaiting lunch. The day is yours to enjoy in the atmosphere of St. Lucia at the turn of the century when the house was sent across from England and carried inland in sections. Lunch at this spice plantation will be much as it was then: fresh juices and provisions from the plantation, bread straight from the stone oven and all with the flavor of Creole cooking. After lunch, you may rest or wander at your leisure. This tour is in an open top jeep.
