Challenging! - This is a tough hike both because mostly rocks and boulders, and a lot of elevation gain. But one can always turn back. Dannyboy doesn't hike with you because it must be the government guides but he is funny and a great guide about the island!

If you haven’t met Dannyboy, you haven’t been to St Lucia - From our extremely charismatic and knowledgeable driver Dannyboy, to the exhilarating, challenging and rewarding hike, my wife and I would highly recommend doing the Gros Piton hike if you’re looking for a fun, ‘full-body’ cultural experience. In regards to the hike itself, I’m relatively fit, playing football 1-2 times a week and found it very manageable yet still an enjoyable challenge, made much easier with a walking stick which you can rent for $5USD. The hardest part for me was navigating the rocks going upwards and for my wife it was going down on the rocks due to the pressure of the steep decline. We were all smiles at the top which had amazing panaromic views and at the end of our less than 5 hour round trip hike. Capped off at the bottom of the mountain with a homemade guava & sour-sap ice cream at a quaint souvenir shop.

100 out of 10 stars - If I could leave a 100star review I would. Danny was an absolute island treasure. He was super kind, knowledgeable, funny, and spent extra time with us.. he took us to a fantastic lunch and showed us how to navigate the Sulphur springs. His vehicle was modern and clean and we had the absolute best time with him!

A fantastic experience,... - A fantastic experience, would highly recommend! Dannyboy was punctual and professional in his pickup from our hotel. He brought heaps of energy to the journey, regaling us with interesting tales and provided an invaluable and engaging insight into St Lucia, its history, culture and people. “Good vibes only” is not only a motto, but reflective of the whole experience! Keep up the great work, excellent customer service, and “good vibes”!

Shuttle for Gros Piton hike - Booked with Dannyboy & Co for a shuttle to the Gros Piton for hiking for a group of four. Lloyd was our driver and was absolutely excellent. Showed up on time, was kind, funny and informative. We highly recommend booking with Dannyboy! The hike is separate from this booking... You pay the $50 fee per person at the base of the hike and have a different guide at that point while your driver/transport waits for you to return. Any reviews about the actual hike/guide don't reflect this company and their service.

We were so grateful for his hospitality and kindness - especially when I got car sick on the way home. He made everything wonderful and we are so grateful for our experience.

Great experience despite the rain! - Amazing hike, a must do in St Lucia if you enjoy hiking! Danny boy was a good time! It was a little sad because it was cloudy and raining at the top so we didn’t get any views from the summit but there was a great view of petite piton at the halfway mark.
