Doing what: St Lucia Roundtrip Transfer: George F. L. Charles Airport
This service was excellent! Reps were very friendly, properly attired and very informative. They even provided us with bottled water upon arrival. Vehicles were in excellent condition.

Doing what: Gros Piton Nature Trail Hike in St Lucia
This was a great trip and definitely worth doing. What a different way to see St. Lucia! Along the trail there are many fabulous views, and the view from the top is incredible. The hike, however, is definitely advanced. You hike straight up for about two and a half hours over rocks and steep pathways. Make sure to take plenty of water and energy snacks!

Doing what: St Lucia Roundtrip Transfer: George F. L. Charles Airport
The shuttle driver that brought me to the airport was very friendly! I am not a talkative person and he made me feel very comfortable. He asked me did I enjoy my trip, the sights I saw, when I was coming back to see the sights I missed etc.

Although there was a mix up over pick up and we had to ring to sort out the actual tour covered all the best bits of St Lucia and our driver Stan was both knowledgeable and good company.Overall a good trip

Doing what: St Lucia Shore Excursion: Segway Nature Trail Experience
This excursion was great and a memorable experience from start to finish. I would certainly do it again. The group of tour guides were very entertaining and knowledgeable about the island history of St. Lucia. Thanks again to the entire team and keep up the great work.

Great time for all ages. Guides were the best and made our adventure even more enjoyable.
Beware of the travel distance from port to the forest.

Doing what: St Lucia Shore Excursion: Segway Nature Trail Experience
Loved this excursion and the staff! The only issue we had was with the time not being available and not being notified until a few days before we left and the number on the vouchers to contact St. Lucia Segway was incorrect.

Doing what: St Lucia Aerial Tram and Zipline Canopy Tour
We loved the zipline experience. Ron and Jeffrey were terrific guides! We would refer anyone to this excursion. However, the cost to get there was way more than I was given over the phone when I called. You need to come up with a more set price from Castries to your location - we felt completely taken advantage of by the taxi companies.

Doing what: St Lucia Shore Excursion: A Tour of St Lucia
Mostly good tour. Guide was very nice but too soft spoken and difficult to understand. We put my daughter up front to "interpert" for the rest of us. Didn't like that we had to tip every guides at every stop (botanical gardens and volcano) - seemed as though we already paid enough for the tour that it should have been covered - also the tip for the tour guide. There was no lunch stop or opportunity to get anything. If food not included, at least should have had the opportunity to purchase something along the way - I was glad I had some fruit and snacks with me. Description sounds like there will be a lunch stop at your expense but not the case, even when it was requested by one of the men on the tour. Otherwise, very nice tour - we saw a lot.

Doing what: St Lucia Shore Excursion: A Tour of St Lucia
I recommend seeing all of the places on this tour, but beware that the roads wind through very steep hills and you may get stuck in the back of a van for ~3 hours. Wasn't a big deal for us as we were busy looking at all of the great sights and we don't get motion sickness, but near the end I was ready to get out. I could have done without the plantation tour and rather taken a mud bath at the volcano sight (which was very cool).

Doing what: St Lucia Aerial Tram and Zipline Canopy Tour
We had a wonderful time, the staff were excellent and did a fabulous especially with the new ones in our group. This was the same tour outfit our cruise ship used. Only disappointment was when we realized how much it cost to get a cab to the location, it turned out to cost about the same as the ship. Yet, we had a private driver in a car. The Aerial Tram was an incredibly peaceful trip.

It saved us the hassle of finding a taxi. They met us in our lobby and loaded our bags.

Doing what: Gros Piton Nature Trail Hike in St Lucia
This is a very challenging hike. The view at the top is not as great as what you will see about halfway up.
