Highly Recommend
This was a very challenging but rewarding hike to do with my family. It took us exactly 4 hours total to complete the entire hike and was so much fun. Our guide gave us tips on how to climb down which was helpful because climbing down can be tricky. The driver was also extremely nice and got us there and back safely!

Great hike, tour fee was just for transportation
The hike was really great and our guide was friendly, but the Viator tour is just for the transportation. Our driver was fun to chat to, but if you have a car you don't need this tour. You can get a guide at Gros Piton yourself as the entrance fee is not included in the tour fee.

Great experience! Highly recommend!
We had a great time on this catamaran tour down the coast. The boat was great, the crew was so fun, the snorkeling was perfect, and it was just a picturesque day overall. The crew worked really hard to make sure everyone had fun (and everyone did!) Would absolutely recommend this as a must-experience excursion for anyone visiting the island!

Dannyboy’s knowledge, humour and attention to client details made our experience a wonderful one to remember (even though it rained most of the day….. lol)

The PH.D. of Travel
Saw Dannyboy & Co. on YouTube video re Gros Pitan tour and was shocked to see him in person to pick us up. Dannyboy is one of a kind: informative, entertaining and efficient [PH.D. in Pot-Hole Dodger as he boasts]. Make sure you ask for him!!

Too loud
Music is LOUD and too much partying during sunset. Would like to have had a quiet or less distraction during the main event.

Challenging!
This is a tough hike both because mostly rocks and boulders, and a lot of elevation gain. But one can always turn back. Dannyboy doesn't hike with you because it must be the government guides but he is funny and a great guide about the island!
