Top St Lucia Hiking Tours

Our tour guides Laura and driver Ryan were incredible. Laura is high energy and told us a lot of history about the island along the way. She gave us a lot of tips on what to do on each stop and made us feel safe and welcoming. The driver made sure we got to each stop on time and safely. The pick up was right on time as communicated on whats app. Our group was 10 people on a bus with the AC on full blast haha. First stop was about an hour into the trip, at Horizon view point. It was the first photo opportunity and a chance to sample banana ketchup and local bbq sauce and to try the banana bread (must try!). The stop also features free restrooms, a gift shop and a bar for drinks to purchase. The second stop about 30 minutes later was at the pitons view point. Great views of the Pitons and best photo opportunity. The vendors at the rest stop were very friendly and offered to take photos with unique poses. No pressure or expectations of tips which is great. There is a lot of souvenirs to purchase at this rest stop with good prices. The next stop is Soufriere where we boarded a speed boat with a quick stop at the bat cave (you do not go in the cave, just view it from a distance). And continued to Sugar Beach. The boat ride is 10-15 minutes tops. At sugar beach we were offered complimentary local beer (Piton) water and rum punch. Sun chairs are available to lounge and the company provides complimentary snorkels and life jackets for snorkeling. The water crystal clear and you have opportunity to see the corals and pretty fish. The stop at sugar beach lasts an hour. Then we took the speed boat back to Soufriere for a buffet lunch at Michael's @ Jen Mwen Restaurant. The next stop is the mud baths. You first take a plunge in the 4 hot (100 degree Fahrenheit) mud pools, then cover yourself in white and black mud for pictures. Rinse off in the hot pools before heading back on the bus. Last chance to drink complimentary beer and rum punch. The last stop is a Toraille Waterfall for a chance to rinse off in the water and take photos. Then the bus took us back to the hotel, after about 1.5 hour drive. Be prepared to bring towel, change of clothes, money for souvenirs, Dramamine if prone to motion sickness. The tour is an all day activity with many stops.
