A host of hummingbirds — including purple-throated and greenthroated caribs — greet us at the entrance to this private botanical park. The creation of artist and landscape architect Jean-Phillippe Thoze, Balata is the product of twenty years of collecting and includes a spectacular variety of new and mature plants. Following an afternoon at sea, the evening festivities feature a tasting of fine rums from island distilleries.

As we drive to the Royal Botanic Gardens, see some of the island’s colorful colonial architecture. Visit two private gardens: Le Paradis, with exotic tropical birds, orchids and bromeliads; and Santa Barbara Garden, set on a hillside and lush with tropical foliage and trees.

Then tour the island’s botanical gardens, and continue to a private garden featuring various species of palm trees. Alternatively, you may wish to relax at one of the sandy beaches for which Nevis is known. Tonight enjoy a barbeque dinner on deck and the sounds of a steel-drum band.

After lunch, ascend to the gardens of the Papillote Wilderness Retreat on Dominica. We are greeted by Ann Baptiste, creator of the gardens, and then view an unusual array of flowering plants. En route to the ship, visit the Botanical Garden, founded in 1891 as an annex of London’s Kew Gardens.

This is the “Spice Island,” where you can shop for locally produced nutmeg, cloves, ginger and vanilla. Visit the privately owned Sunnyside Gardens, and then continue to Tower Plantation House, a working fruit and spice plantation in wooded hills behind St. George’s. With the owner Paul Slinger, visit the historic house, walk in the manicured garden and relax with a traditional rum punch. This evening the captain hosts a gala farewell cocktail party and dinner.
