St Lucia Private Island Tour

We did a car tour to the Pitons, botanical gardens and volcano. We did get to see everything we wanted but the traffic was very heavy and took much longer than expected. Our driver (Lusan) did a nice job getting us around and was very friendly.

Having a private tour in St. Lucia should have allowed us the flexibility to visit exactly where we wished. It wasn't quite that easy. We were able to skip the mud baths, for example, but we had no opportunity to see the capital city or to wander along the shoreline of Soufriere. In fact, our driver, while very competent behind the wheel, was not much of a guide. He simply delivered us to places where an onsite guide took over unless we asked questions directly. To his credit, we stopped for lunch at a very pleasant roadside place with a spectacular view.

Richard was a great tour guide, friendly, funny and knowledgeable. We visited the volcano sulphur springs, viewed the Pitons, went to the beautiful botanical gardens, all giving us amazing memories of our day on this lovely island. We were visiting from a cruise ship, started the day early so were ahead of crowds. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough.

Richard made this excursion awesome. He knew everything about the island, was very friendly/fun, and took care of us. The lunch was amazing. We loved every place he took us. I will definitely be recommending Viator and Richard to everyone.

Richard was great. He was personable and informative. We loved the drive through the volcano, mineral bath, and waterfall. We made a lot of stops along the way. Great few hours and no pressure!

We were picked up by Dylan at our resort right on time. We had a list of places we wanted to check out and he accommodated our list. He was a great tour guide and photographer. I would highly recommend this trip as an awesome way to avoid the crowds and customize your sightseeing and activities.

We had a fantastic time with our tour guide Yanith. He was punctual, courteous and professional. We were able to check off all the stops we wanted to see and Yanith captured all our memories as our personal photographer. The tour was supposed to be for six hours, but Yanith stuck with us for eight hours as he wanted to ensure we were able to squeeze in all the sights. Yanith supplied us with beverages and ensured we were comfortable throughout the duration of our tour. We started with the Tet Paul Nature Trail in Soufriere, which was absolutely stunning and we learned so much about the agriculture. We then stopped at the sulfur springs and did the mud bath, highly recommend you bring an old darker colored bathing suit for this stop. We stopped for a few pictures at one of the waterfalls, can't remember the name. We enjoyed the local cuisine at the Beacon restaurant which had incredible views of the Pitons. Our last stop was Marigot bay, at this point we were pretty exhausted and Yanith got us back safe and sound. It was a fantastic experience and we were so glad that we scheduled it through Viator.

This was a great way for the group of us to see multiple attractions in a day on the west side of the island! Our driver, Manny was super friendly, accommodating, as well as knowledgeable about areas we passed through. Water, soda and beer were provided on the bus, and were much appreciated. We also stopped for some local tastings that included chocolate and bread! After visiting the mud baths, volcano and waterfall, we ended with a late lunch at a local spot with an amazing view. Overall would def recommend! Word of advice, the roads are VERY winding, so if you get car sick, make sure to take some anti nausea and sick in the front :)

We had Dylan for our driver on this trip. He was on time and a very safe driver. He went out of his way go personalize our trip including a rough drive out to Ansa Chastenet which we greatly appreciated. Great job and a very easy activity. Highly recommend if you have done any reading ahead and have some ideas of what you would like to do. Well done.

Dylan was a great guide ! After the maze required to enter St Lucia because of Covid, his calm quiet demeanor was a welcome respite yet he helped us plan our custom all day tour so that it included everything we wished to see and fully answered all our “many “ questions . We wouldn’t hesitate to ask for him again. I’ve used guides fo 35 years and he’s one of the best!
