A genuine outing worth every pennie. - Ok - go do this! Such fun and education, and you come away with your own bottle of rum. This is great education, great tastings and then make your own. Cannot get enough - this is not some run of the mill thing to do on an island adventure tourist trap. This is genuine and real. We had much fun. Spend the extra and do individual even if you are a couple. The. Go across the street and hang at loose cannon.

Amazing - This was one of the better excursions I’ve done. Something different to do, taste liquor, learn about them with a nice little history lesson and top it off with making your own bottle. Worth every dime.

A fun way to spend a few hours and learn about rum! - We had so much fun making our own 'rum in the sun'! With the beach next door and surrounded by the trees whose coconuts are used in one of the rums, it was a great way to spend a few hours. Of course the tasting was amazing too!

I’m now Certified as Master of Rum!! - This was one of the experiences I was most looking forward to on my recent trip to Antigua. I love rum and who wouldn’t love an opportunity to learn and make their own personal rum?!? The experience was great. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and made the experience very enjoyable! He ensured we understood and enjoyed each part of the class. We were able to taste 6 rum flavor options and in addition, rum in its purest form. There were also about 11 flavor options to choose from to concoct our own personal flavored rum. The site was located next to a restaurant and a gorgeous beach. Great opportunities for photos. They also offer additional rum options for purchase. At the end of the experience you have a wonderful souvenir, your personal bottle of rum in which you bottle and wax seal and you are given a certificate for making it through this amazing experience, certifying you as “Master of Rum”!! Can’t wait to return and would definitely recommend as a solo or shared experience!!

RUM's the Word!!! - This experience was interactive, fun and very informative! I wanted to purchase 5 of the 8 rums I tasted, but am from the states. Instead, I did the mini bottles instead. I am excited about the rum I actually made! I went with a group of friends - 8 of us in total! We are planning to get together towards the end of the summer to "crack" our bottles and taste each other's creations!
