WELCOME TO HOPKINS
Hopkins is known as the cultural centre of the Garifuna community. From the delectable cuisines to the mesmerizing beats of the drums, immerse yourself in the culture when meeting the locals.

Take a chance at the Garifuna drums, learning the various genres of music like Paranda and Punta. You may even feel tempted to groove your hips or move alongside a Jankunu dancer!
