Authentic St Lucia Calabash Carving Experience with Local Artist

Details: This is the tour locals recommend when friends visit the island — no rush, no tourist traps. Perfect for couples, friends, families with children and small groups. The cutting and carving of a calabash bowl from the fruit is sure to be an incredibly fun and creative activity that yields a unique souvenir. Armed with a hacksaw (to cut), a spoon (to scoop out), and a dremel or tool (to carve design) anything your imagination desires, you embark on a journey of transforming a simple fruit into a functional masterpiece. After this unique experience, you leave with a truly exceptional souvenir – a whimsical and functional bowl (or two) with a story to tell. Whether as a reminder of a memorable trip or a cherished home decor piece, your calabash bowl is sure to be a conversation starter, sparking curiosity and admiration for your hands-on experience, creativity, and local craftsmanship. Private tours and a "Grill and Chill" on the beach with fresh seafood and roast breadfruit also available on request. This experience is #theultimatesouvenir ! Most guests tell us this was the highlight of their trip — not because it's fancy, but because it feels genuine.
