Enjoyed our visit to the Flower Forest on a self guided walking tour through the property. Some very nice views from various overlooks along the path. More

Walking around Flower Forest is great - we hardly saw any other people and after a few minutes all we could hear was the natural sounds of the forest. We found ourselves whispering to try not to disturb it! We caught glimpses of some monkeys in the undergrowth and also I think a mongoose. There are lots of paths to... More

A stroll through the forest was the perfect way to end my fiancé's trip to Barbados. The walk featured amazing flowers from all over the world, laid out along a well maintained path. The zig-zag of the walk took us by breathtaking views of the island from the top of the mountain. The highlight of our walk was the gazebo... More

My husband and I have been to most of the Caribbean islands and have done several rain forest tours, but nothing compares to the beauty of Flower Forest! This is a self-guided walk on paths surrounded by plants originating from all over the world. We were the only ones there the day we visited, and we felt as if we... More

A very pleasant walk through the forest with a variety of flowers and vistas en-route, though my husband felt it was too many trees and not enough flowers. We would have wandered for longer had it not been for the heavy rain shower, though this did mean we spotted a couple of monkeys also sheltering from the rain! A little... More

A few flowers along the path as it winds through the east facing slope on Atlantic Ocean side of Barbados. A wide variety of palms, trees, plants in a near wild state. Groomed, but not a manicured garden. Paths wind through the forested area with great views of the area, palm filled forests and hills, and a variety of places... More

This was a disappointment - for something called flower forest, I didn't actually see any flowers. It was more of a nature hike through diverse vegetation and trees. I was looking more for a botanical gardens, and so I found flower forest pretty dull. You do, however, get some pretty terrific views of the surrounding area as you walk up... More

Barbados had a marginal hurricane on October 30th, 2010 so the garden was not at its best in November, when this review was written. We lost some trees, some uprooted and some blown down; suffered many huge royal palm branches crushing our flowers. As we recovered and removed the debris we had un-seasonal rains in November and December, even a... More
