Top St Lucia Catamaran Cruises

This is a driving tour of St Lucia. We went to the drive through volcano and really loved that. There was a guide included in that part. We also visited the town of Soufrière and stopped to buy some local fruit (which my kids ended up not wanting and got chips instead🤣). We got amazing pictures of the Pitons from several different locations on the ride. We also stopped at a chocolate factory on the way back to pet port which was amazing! We decided not to do the hot springs since we had done some the day before on a different excursion, but the facilities looked nice. The highlight of our trip was the botanical gardens. We’ve been to several in the Caribbean and these were really the best. I can’t recommend them enough. I definitely recommend this trip. We had a little over an hour of a drive in a comfortable van with good air conditioning to get to the attractions we visited. Water and soda were provided for free as well. The driver was extremely friendly and provided us a lot of information about the island and the different plants we passed. We had lots of questions and he was able to give us great answers. We really enjoyed our day with him. The tour length was perfect for what we wanted. We got to see a nice slice of the St Lucia and still had some time to shop for souvenirs near the port. It was easy to find the driver when we arrived at port and he had a sign with our names. I would definitely do this tour again.

We booked a full day private charter. Our resort (Sandals La Toc) doesn’t have a dock, so we took a 5 min taxi ride ($20usd) to the pier to meet them. They were there waiting on us. Captain Vybez and Cami. They took us out and pointed out some key landmarks for us. We ended up in Soufriere. They gave us the option to do several other things (volcano, mud bath, etc.) but we only wanted to do the waterfall. They arranged for a cab to meet us at the dock and took us to do that ($40 round trip taxi, $6 waterfall entry). Got back, went and saw the Pitons by water. After that, we snorkeled at sugar beach. Went back on a boat ride and went to a local restaurant for traditional lunch: creole fish/chicken, lentils, rice, macaroni, etc. Then we went and snorkeled at Anse Chastanent bay. They returned us to the Sandals La Toc and just drive the boat up to the beach, which was nice so we didn’t have to pay for a taxi ride home. Ultimately, this is a very personal experience and they customize it to whatever you wanted to do. It is a small operation (I believe he said six total employees) but they do their best to show you a good time. I would recommend to anyone. Nothing sketchy about the trip and my wife felt safe the whole time. Good rum punch, beer, sodas, water, etc. Seriously, don’t hesitate, book the private trip. So much nicer than being packed to the brim with tons of people like we saw on other boats. Definitely a personal, memorable experience.

A great day on the Israel King III for my wife and me with Titus and Cummie. We were on a HAL cruise and they picked us up and dropped us off at a dock right in the immediate area where our ship was docked, just a very short walk through the cruise port shops and restaurants area. We cruised along the coast from the cruise port south to the Pitons area, stopping along the way to see interesting and beautiful things. We wanted to snorkel so we stopped at three different locations, including the amazing Anse Chastenette, where we honeymooned in 1988. They had cold drinks (beer and water) and rum punch. We could have purchased a local lunch but we opted to wait for food on our ship. Titus and Cummie got some lunch and it looked yummy. After the last spot in the water we sped back up the coast, a really fun ride. We timed our stops such that we avoided the big boat crowds. It was a great experience and Titus and Cummie were very personable and took great care of us, we very much enjoyed getting to know them. They are very proud of their island nation and they should be! Don’t be surprised by the $30 fuel surcharge. It is clearly articulated in the listing. Just add that amount to the trip cost to know your total if you are comparing prices. We felt the experience was well worth what we paid. Be sure to have some cash in hand if you want a local lunch or decide to go ashore for optional experiences that have some entry fees or a short taxi ride. We love to be in the water so we opted just to do that. Good communication as well prior to the date.

Winnie and Ivan were fantastic.I made two mistakes with this booking. 1- Group of 11- I should have lied to them about the time to get off the ship. We were late and that sucked. I didn't book for a whole day (listened to people that haven't done this before). We wanted the whole day, but these guys book early and and a lot. We did pull in for a take out lunch and it was fantastic. When we made it to the Pitons it was busy and Ivan made sure everyone was safe while snorkeling. Winnie made sure our cups were all full and we loved our half day and all voted that we will do this again for a full day.

Boat excursion is the way to go! The water and land combination. We made it a full day boat, snorkling, mud bath, and waterfall. Lunch was pretty good too! The party on the way back to our port was awesome. We had a family group of 11. The rum punch hit the spot!

Tyler was prompt and courteous in meeting us at the dock. He explained our itinerary well and was very informative about all the locations we stopped at. Captain Alvin did a great job driving us to all the different water stops. Lunch at Mangrove was delicious!

I was a great experience from pick up to drop off Everything we need was on the boat Winnie who was there every step way even when we left something at one of our stops she made sure we was able to retrieve it it was a great birthday experience and would definitely do it again
