Montserrat | Caribbean Island Guide

Hailed as a ‘fearless, entertaining, and knowledgeable taxi driver’ by the legendary Chris Doyle of the Cruising Guide to the Leeward Islands, Joe Phillip of Avalon’s Tours has been providing professional and informative tour guide services in Montserrat since 1976. He is the proud recipient of the Montserrat Tourist Board’s 2002 Individual of the Year Award.

With Avalon’s Tours, you will create long-lasting memories; so that instead of trying to remember what you saw or heard, you will be reminded by the brochure you get on one of these tours.

Experience, learn and observe first-hand:

• (1) The resilient residents fighting to build a new Montserrat.
  (2) One of the island’s secluded beaches, Little Bay, being transformed into the new capital.
  (3) Scenery like none you’ve seen before, while driving along still very natural and picturesque routes.
  (4) That the island is not a desert or some large beach but that it is still extremely green and vibrant, with lush mountains.
  (5) That, contrary to popular opinion, the population of approximately 5,000 residents is not confined to a small area in the north of the island, but instead has access to more than 15 square miles of the island.
  (6) The historical Montserrat Golf Club, which boasted one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful golf courses, now completely buried with volcanic material.

Avalon’s Tours makes it possible for you to truly understand the Soufriere Hill Volcano and learn a little of Montserrat’s history. Understand why the island was called Alliouagana, ‘The Land of the Prickly Bush’ by the original inhabitants and witness Montserrat before and after the Soufriere eruptions. We guarantee there is no other experience like Avalon’s Tours.
