All Castries Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 10

We booked a private tour during one of our port days. It was such a lovely time with many first class touches. Kelly was so knowledgeable and we were able to see all the things with none of the usual hold ups or lines that happen with a group tour. Polished off with an authentic lunch and great memories. Thanks for sharing your island with us 🙏

Bryton was our tour guide and he was truly amazing! Incredibly nice guy! He is the true embodiment of Customer Service Excellence! He encouraged us to take our time and enjoy the awesomeness of Saint Lucia’s sites and sounds! At the Botanical Gardens there were not any tour guides available so he lead us through the gardens and provided the most beautiful commentary on the various flowers and plant life! He even encouraged us to eat flowers that were edible, healthy and safe for human consumption and that was truly a challenge for me! A+++++ tour!

Overall very good experience. Pros: Pick up was right on time, directly at the bow of our ship. Marlon and Shaggy were gracious, professional and caring. The waterfall is a must do on this tour. Cons: The boat is a bit run down, but safe. If you sit in the back, next to the engines, you can't hear half of what is said (a little mic with speakers pointing to back and front of boat would help). The stop at Sugar Beach, while nice, crams close to 100 other people on similar tours onto a small roped off part of the beach and scuba area. Recommendation: If similar tours are available from your ship, book with Marlon for a much better value, a chance to see more of St. Lucia's highlights and to enjoy an authentic, traditional lunch at the family-run restaurant. Pro Tip: These guys work hard, they deserve a tip at the end of the tour. Out of the 16 passengers onboard, only 4 U.S. citizens tipped them for their hard work and 12 non-U.S. citizens walked away with no more than a thank you.
