All Castries Tours & Excursions in 2026

As a frequent cruise traveler, we prefer private tours vs booking through the cruise line. Javan our tour guide - driver with Strictly the Best Taxi, contacted me in advance to establish communication. Due to weather, we arrived to port 2-hrs late. Javan reassured me, he would accommodate our group with the best experience despite the time change. His tour ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. From start to finish, everything felt smooth, personalized, and stress-free. Javan was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience. He offered great local recommendations and even adjusted the itinerary on the fly to avoid crowds and make the most of our time. We were able to spend more time at the places we loved and skip anything that didn’t interest us as much. If you’re considering a shore excursion, I highly recommend going private and asking for Javan as your tour guide - driver. It’s absolutely worth it for the flexibility, comfort, and overall experience. When we return to St. Lucia again, we would book this excursion or another itinerary using him without hesitation!

Private charter to go snorkeling and view the island from the water. Team( boat guide Tyler and driver) arrived early and informed us they were here whenever we were ready. Boat was comfy and plenty of drinks as we wished. Snorkel sites were excellent as was the tour and service. Kind and polite. We could not ask for more. We had lunch after the snorkeling which they ordered ahead of time for us ( lunch is not included). And they dropped us off at the restaurant to eat. There is a fuel surcharge which they told us right away when we boarded so no misunderstandings.

Our driver was Tyler. He was on time! Professional and really kind! He gave great recommendations and he genuinely took care of us that night. We felt safe. Great experience and would recommend to anyone looking to go to the Friday night street party.

It started off a little bumpy. The ocean is the ocean but our driver and Romirez made light of it and it quickly ended, we were able to see the pitons and travel to sugar beach, beautiful views, stunning time, truly thank you so much for the experience. Can’t wait to do it again

So we didn’t get to do this excursion because of issues on the cruise ship (tenders and local authorities delayed). I have no idea what the mud baths were like BUT the organizer was so patient with our situation and was really helpful. He answered my (slightly panicky) messages promptly, then called to help us figure out what to do, and then when the delays ran so long that there just wasn’t time for the excursion, he gently explained that we should cancel for the day. Sad to have missed this but the service was really first rate.

Our private Jeep Wrangler tour through the mountains of St. Lucia was easily the highlight of our trip and the best tour we’ve experienced so far! Our guide, Sean, was absolutely awesome and went above and beyond to make the day special. He took us deep into the heart of the volcano for an incredible soak in the Piton mud baths, which was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Sean was incredibly accommodating throughout the day, even making sure we got to try fresh island bananas and enjoy a cold Pitons beer. To top it all off, we had a delicious lunch overlooking a stunning view of the Pitons. If you're looking for an authentic and adventurous way to see the island, this is it!

Booked an afternoon private boat tour on their catamaran called the "Last Call" There was four of us, and 3 crew members - Capt BR, Eli, and Winney. Since we booked a private tour, they were accommodating to change the pick up point at a dock nearer to our resort. Resulted in us starting a bit later, but ended later which would be right around sunset. The boat was clean and had plenty of spaces to hang out and chill - the stern, upper deck and bow were all available. We started off with some snorkling at Anse Chastanet beach at two locations (the boat provided the snorkling equipment). Lots of coral and fish. Eli jumped in with us to help locate some points of interest. After getting back on the boat and spraying off, we enjoyed crusing up the western coast and tasting the rum punch and other livations from the fully stocked bar. Winney also provided some snacks of banana bread, salsa and plantain chips. My daughter played her play list from her phone through the boat's sound system and enjoyed the sun and wind drying us off. Capt BR took us up the coast pointing out several resorts, bays and beaches. Highlight was Marigot Bay (beautiful). We ended up going up to Castries before turning back to our starting point. On the way back, Eli ordered up the most beautiful sunset on New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, I think Sea Spray Cruises and their crew just spoiled us to the best boat tour we've ever had. Its going to be tough to top this anywhere else.

An amazing experience! The crew of Captain Andy, Eli, and Winni really made us feel welcome and provided excellent hospitality. This was our favorite experience on St. Lucia and I highly recommend this to anyone. We will be back to do this again. Thanks again crew of Last Call!
