The flower forest is the best place to see the indigenous flora of this tropical region. If you are expecting Daffodils and hyacinths~ well you wont find them here! What you will find are the most stunning arrays of beautiful flowers and foliage, the tallest trees and palms.. cooling shade intermingling with the sunshine of the morning.. You will have... More

I wish I could go to for a walk to this garden every single day. Palm trees are so tall, flowers are so many different types and so beautiful, grounds are extremely well kept. It was raining when we reached the Flower Forest, so purchased tickets (the receptionist would give you a map of the garden) and had coffee on... More

Walking around Flower Forest is great - we hardly saw any other people and after a few minutes all we could hear was the natural sounds of the forest. We found ourselves whispering to try not to disturb it! We caught glimpses of some monkeys in the undergrowth and also I think a mongoose. There are lots of paths to... More

A stroll through the forest was the perfect way to end my fiancé's trip to Barbados. The walk featured amazing flowers from all over the world, laid out along a well maintained path. The zig-zag of the walk took us by breathtaking views of the island from the top of the mountain. The highlight of our walk was the gazebo... More

My husband and I have been to most of the Caribbean islands and have done several rain forest tours, but nothing compares to the beauty of Flower Forest! This is a self-guided walk on paths surrounded by plants originating from all over the world. We were the only ones there the day we visited, and we felt as if we... More
