Fabulous boat ride with Israel King to snorkel the top spots near Soufriere and to sightsee on a beautiful sunny day. - The Israel King small motor boat private tour along the West Coast was the perfect last day of our group's weeklong trip to St Lucia. The beautiful day started with pick up at Rodney Bay 9 am, very informative narration of the coastal highlights (history culture economic environmental and tourism issues) as we passed communities and resorts along the way, then terrific no-rush "island time" snorkeling at Anse Chastenet and Sugar Beach. Spectacular views the whole way including at the steep coastal base of the majestic Pitons. (Way way better than driving!) Our amazing and FUN guides Jeremiah and Captain Bzyz took us to some beautiful secret spots that could only be
done on a small boat with their local knowledge. They fully tailored the itinerary to our requests, provided snorkels, fins, and noodles, brought to us on board a delicious local tuna lunch, were quick to scoop us out of the water, and provided plenty of water, beer, and their special (too good) rum punch. We made tour arrangements through Karen a few days in advance - she was very responsive and sent clear information. Contrary to what we first thought, the small motor boat "taxi" proved to be perfect - pretty smooth ride, adequate shade cover, and a more local vibe. We had already done a fancier private catamaran tour along the coast with another company earlier in the week (at a higher price) and - hands down - the Israel King tour was far superior - crew and tour - they were The Best - highly recommend!

These are good people that go out of their way to ensure a good time for you! - Excellent communication with vendor from beginning to end. I can't say enough good things about our two special guides "Vibes" and Jeremiah for this excursion from our cruise ship. I am disabled with little use of my legs and these two gentle literally lifted me on/off and into boat to snorkel with my propel device in a wonderful location. They offered to go to more places but it was a heavy stormy day and we decided to head back after a few sightseeing stops including the beautiful Pitons. I was impressed they were willing to "rough it", yet They were cheerful, informative and a lot of fun. We REALLY like these guys and you will too! Book with confidence and just go with the flow. We would do it again in a heartbeat, Their kindness will be remembered in addition to a wonderful experience with nice coral and creatures despite a stormy day. Thanks guys

Treated like a VIP - Picked up directly at the cruise port, amongst crowds boarding ferries and catamarans, with just two of us in our own private speed boat! Captain "Vibes" and Jerimiah were great fun and made our day special with their local knowledge. Sugar beach, nestled at the foot of the Pitons was amazing, full of marine life. Avoid the crowded catamaran tours - book your own private experience.

The Perfect Crew for the Perfect Day! - My family and I visited in January, and it was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! The boat crew was the absolute highlight! They were fun, charismatic, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having a great time. We couldn’t be more grateful!
They took us to some stunning spots around the island, and we even stopped at a fantastic local restaurant on the way back. Everything about the trip was just perfect. Even our 1 year-old had the best time!
If you’re thinking about booking this experience for your family or friends, don’t hesitate. It’s 100% worth it. Easily a 10 out of 10!

Best choice I’ve made in St Lucia - Wow!!! I travel a lot and spend a lot of time on the water. This was one of the most pleasurable and tailored tours I have taken. Seeing St Lucia by water is definitely the way to go. Titus was an exceptional guide. With terrific local knowledge he filled us in on the geography of the island and because we were very keen to snorkel, he took us to all the best spots!! The views of the Pitons were amazing and they took incredible photos for us at all the best spots. And also wow, the free-flowing rum punch!!

BEST DAY EVER ON THE WATER!!! So bomb ❤️ - This was one of the BEST days I’ve had in years thanks to Jermaine and Jerome and their experience on the water! I chose this company because they had a COVER on their boat and they offer PRIVATE BOAT RIDES, and they were FLEXIBLE with my start time. They provided plenty of drinks ( Rum Punch was on point )! The fellas took me to a bomb restaurant in Marigot Bay and then to some spots where the locals hang out on the water. Snorkeling was an option but I decided against it. This experience was absolutely amazing !

The BEST Island adventure! Authentic, stunning boat trip. - This was exactly what we were looking for. Jerimiah and Titus looked after us so well...funny, engaging and SO relaxing. No crowds, just us which is our definition of luxury. We stopped by lovely little villages, lunch in Marigot Bay and the BEST pics ever by our fabulous photographer/guide! Jerimiah. If you want to see the Island in its full beauty with great local guides then book now! We have had 5 nights in Barbados and 7 here in St Lucia...this trip is the Caribbean jewel of our holiday. Thank you to Karen too for making booking so easy.

Very good but with an odd twist - We had a wonderful tour and enjoyed the freedom of choosing where we went. We stopped off at Jade Mountain for lunch, the only negative being one of the crew coming ashore and very purposefully standing directly at our table for a good 6-8 minutes just looking at the menu whilst leaning over my husbands shoulder. We did feel quite uncomfortable, as if he was wanting us to ask him to join us. It was a special family celebration so on that occasion it really wasn’t appropriate. It did put a bit of an odd twist on what was a generally good experience.
