If you are visiting St. Croix then you DEFINITELY should come here for a tour and some rum sampling! The tour is pretty short, but that is not by design. The length of the tour will vary based on the number of people and how many questions are asked. The tour walks you through all of the various facilities, staging areas, and machinery involved in the distilling process. At the time I did the tour there were no photography restrictions.

In my opinion, the best part of the tour was the end when you get to sample the various rum blends (must be 18 or over). You receive a set amount of samples with your tour package, but you can purchase additional samples (or schmooze with the bartender/tour guide to receive additional free samples). You also have the option to purchase full bottles of rum either individually or in packaged combinations. The prices for bottles here are ridiculously cheap so I highly recommend you take advantage of this. Also, Cruzan Rum has an arrangement with the Import/Export officials to ensure that you have no issues taking the bottles of the island. They conveniently package your bottles in a travel safe container, which I thought was pretty awesome.

Overall this place was a ton of fun! The staff are some of the most genuine and pleasant people I have ever met. Doesn't hurt that the rum is fantastic as well, and I don't even like rum. I highly recommend visiting here if you're on St. Croix.
