Montserrat | Caribbean Island Guide

No visit to Montserrat is complete without a visit to The Montserrat National Trust. When you take time to visit the Trust you get the opportunity to step back in time and experience Montserrat’s history and natural environment in a way that no other place can offer you.

There are several activities that you can engage in on one visit or over several days. These include a chance to review Montserrat’s history in our Natural History Centre , see the development of our Botanical Garden, book a guided tour on one of our Nature Trails or buy plants from our Nursery.

Also be sure to visit our gift shop, where a variety of locally made produce and books are on sale at reasonable prices! Every sale helps the Trusts’ fund raising efforts and local artisans.
