The experience

The tour starts with pickup from your hotel and a drive through West End village, where you'll see local craft and photo spots before arriving at the chocolate factory. There you learn how black and white chocolate are made, moving through the process from bean to finished product. After the factory, the guide takes you to the rum distillery, also in West End, where you taste multiple types of rum and get views of the village from the top of the facility.

The final stop is West Bay Beach itself. You get beach access with facilities on-site and free WiFi, so you can spend time swimming in the clear Caribbean water and on the white sand. The air-conditioned vehicle and parking fees are covered, which means you're not arranging transport or paying separately for the lot.
