It was peaceful and a lovely place to chill out for a couple of hours. The walk around was a bit of climb to start but the views were amazing.Full review by sw10000

Hi, we visited the gardens in St Vincent last year, and did an organised trip. Next year we will be there again and would like to spend longer in the gardens, could you please tell me what sort of cost was the taxi from town? (We will be starting at the cruise terminal) and possibly how much was the cost for a guise? USD would be good if you have the information. Many thanks in advance.

We used Top Dawg Tours as as our taxi a. s we toured more than the garden. The tour guide at the garden was $10 US er person. Worth every penny!!

We visited the island on a cruise & walked from the town centre though it'll take about half an hour. It's all up hill but there's a footpath along side the road however it's not sign posted to the gardens anywhere. Just print off a map from Googlemaps it's easy enough to find. We paid 2 US$ to get in I don't it's worth a guided tour at 8 US$. I local OAP decided to walk with us pointing out landmarks but did expect a tip to buy some lunch at the end but it was well worth it.
Is the walk to the Botanical Gardens uphill or level? If it is uphill, is it possible to take a taxi or other transport to the gardens. I have a genetic condition which makes walking up even the slightest incline quite a struggle. We visit on a cruise early December and I think we are the only ship in port on the day.

The gardens are laid out on a hillside so any visit will require some uphill walking mostly on well defined paths. Transport by taxi to the entrance and exits is easy but we entered at the lower end of the gardens and left by an exit higher up the hill.
Hi do you need a guide and kind of prices did you have to pay. Thanks

You don't need to take a guide, but they know the place and its trees and plants well and are happy to spend a reasonable time with you, pointing out things you might otherwise miss - the age of trees for instance - even if you know the Caribbean and its vegetation quite well. The guide's fee plus tip isn't too much of an ask - USD5 as I remember.
