Rum Works in Many Ways - Run can be a family thing. Took my wife and two kids to the event. Setup was done and ready when we arrived. All 3 staff were helpful and knowledgeable. Tasting to set your palette was helpful. Next up was the mixing of your own flavors. Being able to trial and error while learning the history of rum in the is beautiful area made the experience even more engaging. To wrap up your night youn make your own label and seal the bottles. New friends made family bonding. What’s better?

Fun, Unique, and a Beautiful Location - This was honestly one of the most fun and unique things we have done at any port on all of our cruises and we will definitely be doing it again next time we are in Antigua. Everyone was extremely friendly. Worth every penny. If booking through their website directly, it is easy to add transportation for a very reasonable fee as well.

Worth the cab rider form St. Johns - It was a great event and English HArbor is way nicer than St. Johns. They have a great beach for apres run crafting. It is worth the trip from St. Johns

A highlight of our cruise!! - We decided to do this experience rather than a cruise ship excursion and it was fantastic!!! Well worth the money and a highlight of our 10-night cruise. The young ladies that guided us through the experience were very personable and helpful, and made it fun and educational. We are very proud of the rum we made! Tip: the taxi to/from the cruise port to the venue was not cheap, but also worth it (it is about a 40-minute drive each way). The driver gave us a bit of a tour on the way to the venue, and we asked him to come back and get us at a certain time, which he did. And we highly recommend hitting The Loose Cannon before or after the rum experience (make reservations on-line as it is busy).

Amazing experience - I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Adjacent from the beach the scenery is amazing and the DJ was really good. The roads are a little tight to get into the venue but it was worth it. The instructor was very friendly and knowledgeable about the entire rum making process. We got to experiment and make our own rum, name it and bottle it to take home.

Great time! - This really was so much fun to make and learn all about run making. You actually get to distill, create and choose your own person recipe and taste the different flavors you get to put in your personal bottle. They come around frequently to make sure everything is going well and if we had any questions. Very friendly staff. Great excursion for a cruise!

This was a really fun... - This was a really fun experience, but not worth the price. The presentation was good, but it felt slightly rushed. It also turned out to be on the opposite side of the island from our cruise port. Getting there and back was more expensive than expected.
