Javan was incredible. He gave us as much time as we wanted at every stop and was great taking pictures for us. He even added a few stops for us based on our conversation. He was just an awesome guide, funny and informative. I would call him just for a taxi, +1 758 725-7125

We booked a private tour during one of our port days. It was such a lovely time with many first class touches. Kelly was so knowledgeable and we were able to see all the things with none of the usual hold ups or lines that happen with a group tour. Polished off with an authentic lunch and great memories. Thanks for sharing your island with us 🙏

Kelly picked us up from the cruise port (suggest to have the WhatsApp to communicate with him ahead of time on pick up time). He was very informative throughout the day with facts of the island. He was pleasant and friendly. We arrived at the mud bath early per his suggestion to beat the cruise tours. We enjoyed our mud bath and we had enough time there to enjoy the experience. At the waterfall, it was great! We were also able to change our clothes at the waterfall to be dry the rest of the trip. I'd recommend water shoes for the waterfall. We saw many scenic points for photos. Kelly took photos for us too which was helpful. We ended with a lunch spot overseeing the Pitons which was beautiful. Overall I totally recommend this excursion and Kelly

Island Fun with Javan

KIMBERLY_M, Jul 2026

We had an AMAZING time with Javan, our guide. He was so nice, kind, and knowledgeable. He showed us all the best spots on the island throughout the tour and made it FUN from start to finish. We got lucky and had the tour to ourselves, so he customized the itinerary a bit based on our request. We enjoyed our time with Javan so much that we hired him for two additional adventures after this tour. I HIGHLY recommend this tour, and I strongly recommend requesting Javan as your guide.

Late late but then great!

Lisa_S, Jul 2026

This should have been the best day ever. Instead, the local tour operator, Island Taxi, lost our reservation, and did not find it until about 30 minutes after the scheduled start of the tour. I had to call and ask why they were late. We were supposed to leave at 8.30 am. I only had this one day to tour, then work. The operator sent the guide/ diver Javan for us and he arrived at 10.30 am. This was absolutely inexcusable. He tried to blame you guys for not notifying him. I know aviator doesn’t work like that. The email may have gone into his junk pile. Lucky for the local operator, Javan who he sent was absolutely professional and wonderful and we had a full tour after all. Tour 5 stars. Javan, 7 stars. Island Taxii?? 1 star.

Ask for Kelly!

Andrea_L, May 2026

Kelly gave us a fantastic tour of the island! He was funny and very knowledgeable. He made sure the ride was relaxing and informative. After the tour, we stopped for a delicious lunch before heading back to our report. Was a lot of driving but was a great way to see the island, sulfur spring and waterfall.

Kelly’s awesome!

Jill_M, May 2026

Kelly was great! On time and shared information about the beautiful island. He made it fun and was our paparazzi for the day. He sent me all the pictures and videos at lunch and they were great! Thanks Kelly!

Went above and beyond!

Ailaine_C, Apr 2026

Javan was an exceptional tour guide and truly made our experience unforgettable. From the very beginning, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about St. Lucia. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying every moment. He didn’t just take us to the usual spots—he took the time to explain the history, culture, and little details that made each place meaningful. Whether it was guiding us through the mud baths, making sure we had the best experience at the waterfall, or helping us navigate the day smoothly, he was attentive and thoughtful the entire time. Javan also had a great personality—friendly, patient, and easy to talk to. It felt less like a formal tour and more like exploring the island with a local friend who genuinely cared about our experience. His professionalism, kindness, and extra effort did not go unnoticed. If you have the chance to tour with Javan, don’t hesitate—you’ll be in excellent hands. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much

Javan with Strictly the Best Taxi was the BEST!!

Lisa_H, Apr 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!

Pitons Mud bath

Kate_S, Apr 2026

The drive was bittersweet—for those prone to motion sickness it might not be the best choice. For the rest of us it was fabulous…our private driver was great and the ride was extremely comfortable. Mud baths are a must do—very cool! We enjoyed the day and would highly recommended it!

What Muddy fun

Aarti_S, Apr 2026

What an incredible experience! From the moment we were picked up by Mr Young and his immaculate “transformer” van, we knew we were in fabulous hands. He took us to the best viewpoints, stopping along the way to sample some local special cuisines. We arrived at the mud baths and it was great—there were hardly any other people there, so we could really maximise our time in the baths. The kids (and us) thoroughly enjoyed it. We then went to the Toraille Waterfalls, and once again the timing was perfect so that we almost had the waterfall to ourselves. A fun and refreshing dip in the falls, and we were ready for lunch. Mr Young took us to a fantastic restaurant that overlooked the Pitons. Mr Young, aka Julian, made the whole experience super fun and engaging for all of us! He dropped handy tips along the way, and I highly recommend this tour. It was one of our absolute highlights while being on this magical island!

Mud bath and waterfall

Brad_T, Apr 2026

Very fun. Crowded as are all excursions. Traveling to excursions is not for anyone that gets car sick easy. Up and down 4 mountain sides and extremely curvy. Mud bath was nice with hot springs. Waterfall much smaller that anticipated. Kenny was a great tour guide. Ask for him if you decide.

Great for couples that want extra privacy while still being able to visit the mudbath and waterfall.

Fun day of learning and seeing

Javan is amazing. So knowledgeable about the whole island, and a great sense of humor to boot. He made our trip one to remember.

Go find Kelly

Dorothy_R, Feb 2026

If you ever get the chance to tour with Kelly — cancel your other plans, reschedule your flight, tell your boss you’ve found your new favorite human. Just do it. We booked a private tour and somehow ended up with a historian, comedian, professional photographer, walking encyclopedia, and unofficial mayor of the city all rolled into one. Kelly doesn’t just share facts — he tells stories. The kind that make you laugh, lean in, and suddenly realize you’re learning without even trying. And here’s the wild part: five hours flew by. Five. Hours. We genuinely couldn’t believe it when the tour ended. That’s how engaging he is. He answered every question — even our completely random “wait, but why?” moments — without missing a beat. No awkward pauses, no boring lectures, no being herded around like confused pigeons. Just great energy, fascinating history, and perfectly paced exploring. By the end, we didn’t feel like tourists — we felt like insiders. Honestly, if Kelly offered an extended 12-hour edition, we would’ve packed snacks and signed up. Would absolutely tour with him again. If he ever runs for office, we’re voting for him.

Family with two little kids

We got to see the whole island, he took family pictures at beautiful stops and we even got to skip the long line at the waterfall. It was a great day! He is a great tour guide and I highly recommend!

Lily_R, Dec 2025

We had an amazing time on this excursion in St. Lucia! Our guide, Kelly, was incredibly friendly and made the entire day so enjoyable. As we drove around the island, he shared so much interesting information and really helped us learn more about St. Lucia. He gave us great tips at both the waterfall and the mud bath, which made the experience even better. On top of that, he was basically our personal photographer for the day and made sure we had plenty of great pictures to remember it by. We highly recommend this excursion and especially Kelly as a guide!

Full-day stopover in St Lucia

PierOlivier_B, Dec 2025

Nice experience in St Lucia with Kelly. Easy pick up from the port of Castria. Kelly's waiting for you at the terminal with a sign in your name. Beautiful viewpoint tour of St Lucia. The thermal baths beautiful experience with mud and hot water from the volcano. Simple buffet style meal with beautiful views of the studs. Cons negative is that we did not visit a beach. Is it for lack of time being given that we had to leave for our ship. In general nice experience and very interesting to be without.
