Fantastic day snorkeling and seeing the sights - I booked six of us on the original Israel King boat (the orange one), which meant we had the boat to ourselves and were able to set our own itinerary. We were keen on snorkeling, so after meeting them at Rodney Bay Marina we visited Anse Cochon, Anse Chastenet and Sugar Beach between the Pitons and snorkeled each. Chris and Titus pointed out other sights along the way, kept us topped up with beer and rum punch, organised and picked up lunch for us at Soufriere and kept the banter going all trip, including between themselves in Creole. We were back by 3pm, having enjoyed ourselves immensely. Highly recommended.

Fun half day boat trip and land tour in St Lucia - Chris and Jerome ran a great trip from our hotel along the coast to the beautiful Soufriere town taking in sights including the piton mountains and other pretty spots. We did the add on land tour and waterfalls which was great fun and had lunch on a little beach plus some snorkelling. A lot packed in to a half day but it didn’t feel rushed at all it was at the perfect pace for us. They were really informative and friendly we learned a lot and had lots of fun. The homemade rum punch was also delicious. Highly recommend this well run trip!

Boat trip to see the Pitons - Fantastic experience! Chris and Jerome really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome and enjoy our time. An amazing boat ride to see the pitons was made even better when we stopped off at Soufriere for a mud bath followed by a wash in the waterfall. Would highly recommend

I highly recommend this tour. What a great way to experience the island! - This private tour was both fun and highly informative. Our most capable captain-Glen-and first mate-Cummie, were happy to show us whatever was of interest to us. Our highlights were swimming at Sugar Beach and walking around Soufriere.

The only way to see St Lucia - The highlight of our week in the Caribbean. Glen and Comy were perfect tour guides and the most friendly and helpful. Countless snorking spots, beautiful beaches, delirious refreshments, advice, and useful imformation. We saw the Pitons, bat cave, fishing villages, chased dolphins. Too much too list and can’t wait to come back. Thanks!

We had the best day! - This tour was hands down the best excursion we’ve ever done. Titus and his nephew Cummie were fantastic guides. They were so kind and knowledgeable about the island. We had a blast with them. We cruised along the coastline, saw Marigot Bay, stopped to get a delicious local lunch, and snorkeled in 3 amazing spots. Our last stop was Sugar beach between the Pitons which was the highlight for me. It was the best way to see the Pitons and a lot of the island. We never felt rushed, and we were able to spend as much or little time as we wanted at each stop. It was also nice to have a private tour and not be on a packed boat. We can’t wait to come back to St. Lucia and would book this tour again!

Best excursion ever! - Book this trip! This was by far our favorite day on the island! My husband, daughter (14) and I had the absolute best time! Jerome and Chris were so wonderful and knowledgeable and just made the trip! The snorkeling and sightseeing were phenomenal and we even got to taste the local cuisine made by the captains family members, which was delicious! This boat trip made our vacation, I would highly recommend as it is the best way to see the island!
