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!

The crew was awesome and fun, however our trip was not as advertised. We set out to pick up people from three pick up points and then went to another resort’s snorkeling spot to snorkel. It felt very thrown together and while the snorkeling was average, we were with a lot of other snorkelers at the resort along with the boat load that we brought and the area was off shore and very small.

Great trip with Carnival Sailing, stopped at Sugar Beach for swimming and snorkelling, great views of the pitons, lots of opportunities to take photos, on the way back music and dancing as the sun set. The bar was open for the whole trip so lots of beer and rum punch. Would 100% recommend, our taxi did arrive before our confirmed time, lucky we were ready and the hotel called us, so thanks Groovy for waiting for us. You will enjoy this trip 👍😎🍻⛵️☀️☀️☀️☀️

We came 15 minutes before to be on time and waited for 2h the driver to pick us up at the hotel lobby.
He never came and never called. We tried to contact the company, they never answered.
We spent more than an hour on the phone with Viator trying to find a solution and an explanation. Viator said that the company had no explanation.
We could eventually get a refund but we lost an entire day and had to book another trip another day with another company.
If the driver shows up it's okay but if he doesn't you'll be screwed so I recommend you to book this trip with another company.
There are plenty of them and you can book directly from many hotels here for the same price.
Voilà voilà, bonnes vacances:)

A cruise along the beautiful west coast of the island, with an interesting and informative commentary. We then pulled into a protected bay to snorkel along the reef in clear blue water. There were plentiful drinks (rum punch, beers & soft drinks) throughout and canapés on the cruise back at sunset. It was a orth every single penny.
Response from Host, May 2024

The crew was excellent: attentive, friendly, helpful. Fun cruise; too bad the original catamaran had engine problems.
Ashley_F, May 2023
I would rate this excursion 10 stars if I could. The driver taking me to the boat picked me up right on time and the entire crew on the boat was friendly and interactive. The boat was big enough to fit everyone and not feel crammed. We sailed to Sugar Beach where we went snorkeling and then enjoyed an open bar with appetizers and great music on the way back as we watched the sunset. I wish I could have done this every night of my trip. Special S/O to the captain Craig!
Response from Host, May 2023
Hello Ashley,
Thank you for sharing your exceptional experience with us! We are delighted to know that our driver ensured a punctual pickup and the entire crew on the boat provided a friendly and interactive experience for you.

We greatly appreciate your special shout-out to Captain Craig! Our crew members, including Captain Craig, strive to provide exceptional service, and we will make sure to pass along your appreciation to him.

We were told the wrong pickup time so missed the cruise which I had planned as my birthday celebration. When we tried to reach out to have it rectified, 1.5 hours on the phone later and the customer service was no use. It was a horrible experience that ruined our day. Would not recommend unless you’re willing to be scammed.

Hello Rheanna,

Great crew on board, very friendly and quick service at the open bar. Cruise was good and with some commentary around St Lucia and the sights we passed, great view of the Pitons as we approached. The snorkeling was great and we were free to explore a reef on our own for a good half hour with all equipment provided.
The pick up was alright with the typical pains of stopping at multiple resorts to pick up more guests. On the way back they seemed to have an issue with a bus which lead to our bus being very full and going to fairly remote resorts to drop off guests. It took around 30 mins to get from hotel to cruise and over an hour on the way back. Could have been a one-off as they mentioned some bus problems.
