Highlighted reviews from other travelers
We really liked the tour, it's well thought out and just the right lenght to include all interesting information and answer all questions you may have about bananas and the plantation. Our guide John was knowledgeable and engaging. The property itself is very nicely looked after and there's workers all around making improvements, everyone is very kind. The gift shop also includes many interesting items and banana products. The tasting featured jams and alchoholic drinks, but none of them really had a distinct or overpowering banana flavor. I liked the passionfruit/banana drink the most. My only wish would be that they would offer tasting of the actual bananas showed in the tour (red and blue variants).
Maria was absolutely awesome. new place but we'll worth it
