explore the nature of Rabot Estate

Pick up a map and head out on our self-guided, estate trails

The Jurassic Trail

Start on a shaded trail past our working cacao farm and through the Marcial cacao grove. Then, you’ll join the boardwalk taking you around the hidden Rabot lake, where you can spot the diverse nature of the estate. Perfect for an early morning stroll before breakfast or evening time before sunset.

Bois Nef, cacao grove walk

A must-see spot! Come and explore one of our most beautiful and newest cacao groves, with young trees that have already started bearing pods. This walk offers a lovely view of the estate from another angle – but the truly spectacular scene here is the white egrets clustering on their favourite tree at about 5pm.

The big nature view, walk

A breathtaking view from the highest point of Rabot Estate, with a 360-degree portrait of Soufrière basin, Mount Gimme, and both Pitons framing the Caribbean Sea. One of the best views in Saint Lucia and well worth the walk up! You will pass through Project Chocolat on route, and can grab a well-deserved refreshment from the Cacao Bar.

The Old French Road, trail

The longest of our walks. This truly scenic route takes you cross-country along the old stone road soldiers used during the Battle of Rabot in 1795. The first part of the trail is a gentle climb with stunning views of the estate and mountains beyond. Once you reach the top you’re rewarded with a downhill stroll back down to the main road.

Admire the views

have A Rainforest picnic

Set on the Piton view deck on the Jurassic Trail of Rabot Estate, take the opportunity to slow down and take in the beauty and tranquillity of the rainforest as you enjoy a picnic curated just for you. Choose between a fruit or charcuterie board, paired with a bottle of prosecco and fresh coconuts. Sip, nibble, and relax.
