Cherry Tree Hill
Cherry Tree Hill is eight hundred and fifty (850) ft above sea level and is a part of St. Nicholas Abbey plantation. Actually due to the size of the St. Nicholas Abbey property, Cherry Tree Hill actually borders, St.Peter and St. Andrew. Many years ago, the drive on either side to get to it was flanked by cherry trees, thus the reason for its name; however these were replaced with mahogany trees which now line the road. The trees were planted in celebration of the signing of The Treaty of Paris in 1763

5.00We had a great day touring round the Island with our driver Stephen. Picked us up promptly and shared his knowledge of the island as we drove past landmarks. A very knowledgeable man with a good sense of humour. The wildlife sanctuary was truly beautiful, a great opportunity to see a number of different species and the monkey feeding is incredible, you're so close to them. Then we headed to Bathsheba for some lunch, beautiful scenery and striking views. We enjoyed our simple lunch of grilled chicken (fish also available), rice, salad and macaroni pie. After this we headed to Carlisle Bay, a breath taking talcum powder beach with clear turquoise waters. Lots to do here, bars, food trucks, jet ski rentals etc. Our driver let us know that there was a shuttle service (provided by the tour) if you wanted to stay and enjoy the beach etc after we got off the boat which was a lovely touch. All the staff on the boat were super friendly and helpful. Big shout out to "Mr T" who took my husbands camera and dived down through the ship wreck to capture some unforgettable footage for us. He then also went and retrieved my husbands camera when he accidentally dropped it (rolls eyes). We did manage to see a sea turtle, a beautiful moment that left everyone on our boat in awe. Complimentary drink on board once you've finished snorkeling, then you're given the opportunity to jump off the top of the boat or use the water slide. Everyone on board was super humorous and nothing was too much trouble. We felt safe and in good hands, husband isn't the strongest swimmer and had never snorkeled before. All in all, an unforgettable day, memories we'll treasure for a lifetime. And for a very reasonable price.

4.00Everyone was absolutely wonderful during this trip. While you aren’t actually feeding the monkeys as advertised, it was still so cool and incredible to be so close up next to the monkeys. With regards to the snorkeling, it’s not guaranteed to see the sea turtles but the guides try their best to make sure you see them. Was fortunate to see one within 5 mins of getting into the water and was able to see a couple of more during our time out there! Would highly recommend.
