Rum tasting - Educational and enjoyable. Interesting to taste four types of rum + how different ways of drinking it alters the taste

Perfect for something to do on a whim - I didn't have any plans for our day at the port. I overheard mention of this offering at the information center and decided to take part. It is a quick taxi ride, reasonably priced experience, and the staff is welcoming. Our guide, Akeel, was engaging, passionate, and entertaining. I would recommend.
