The former sugar estate inland has a historic great house and organised visitor activities. [3]

On a port day Treat it as a distinct excursion with road transport both ways.
Martha Brae

On a port day Confirm the transfer and activity timing separately before fitting it into your port day.

All aboard is your deadline to return. Departure is when the ship is scheduled to leave.
