Amazing views of the island and a great accomplishment! - My wife and I came to Saint Lucia for our honeymoon and decided to do this tour as we both really enjoy the outdoors and hiking. We decided for an early ascent as the weather would be too hot otherwise and recommend others do the same. You also need at least 2L of water per person as some parts of the trail are exposed to the sun. Our guide was a lovely chap called CJ who clearly knew a lot about the area and history of the mountain. He was very open and friendly and made the more difficult parts of the climb much easier with his positive attitude and words of encouragement. As we finished in ‘record time’ (according to CJ), we were even able to take time to explore the old WW2 bunkers, anti aircraft gun battery and storage warehouses which were incredibly interesting. The climb itself was a mixture of simple ascending pathways, rocky outcrops with plenty of handholds and more challenging open/steep areas which require the use of a rope to safely get up. The summit is well worth it though with amazing views of the island. CJ even helped us take some lovely photos of the two of us. Would recommend this tour to anyone physically able to take it on. The difficult parts are in my opinion, more of a mental barrier than a physical one and CJ did a great job of reminding us of that and keeping us encouraged.

Awesome Mt. Pimard Hike - My husband and I had a great time on this hike. It was definitely a harder hike than I was expecting. It was totally worth it though. The view from the top was incredible. Keyz was an outstanding guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Great personality. He took safety very seriously and was always watching and helping me through the tough parts of the hike. I would recommend this hike and most definitely would ask for Keyz to be your guide.

Nice little hike - Our guide Tom was excellent and the view from the top is really worth the effort and getting up the roped section.

Fun guides and a great experience - Excellent experience! Kymani was our guide and he was super fun and provided so much knowledge about the history where we were at. He also took some fun pictures of us at the top. The group we were in had people with varying fitness levels, but he made everyone feel welcomed and supported during the hike. We did a different hike the day after with another company and (sadly) had a completely opposite experience….with something to compare against, I can absolutely say that this hike, company, and Kymani were fabulous. Highly recommend.

Great steep hike and lovely views. - Cornelius was great company indeed. A great ambassador for the youth of Saint Lucia. Lovely views from the top and he guided us carefully up and down the sometimes steep hill, with ropes being used at times! Thanks Cornelius.

Mt. Pimard Nature Hike - Jeanaii was our guide on the Mt Pimard hike. He was very knowledgeable and made the experience very fun. He pointed out all the natural / native plants and trees of St Lucia and their uses. He also provided us with a homemade snack. 10/10 would recommend.

Best guides ever! - The guys were helpful and informative and really fun. The “hike”/climb was extremely challenging, but well worth it.

Mt Pimard Hike - We did the Mt Pimard hike with our tour guide Jeanaii who was so nice and very knowledgeable about the mountains history. He was also kind of enough to let us stop every now and then to catch our breaths as we don’t hike very often. He was great at taking our photos and showed us the variety of plants he eats and uses on a daily basis. This was such a rewarding experience and couldn’t have asked for a better time.

Beautiful Area - Great Guides - The booking and cruise port pickup worked out fine. Unfortunately, it was a rainy day and very slippery so we did not make it all the way to the top. However, Kymani & CJ were great guides. We were able to spend more time talking to them about their lives and the community's. Very, very nice men. With our hike cut short, Kymani even offered to show us around Rodney Bay or escort us back to the port. We had other plans but did enjoy a nice local brew with them before we went back.
