Best tour EVER - Joseph:Michigan, the tour guide, made my experience the best I’ve ever had! He’s super kind, helpful and very knowledgeable about the island. He went above and beyond to ensure that I enjoyed the breathtaking waterfall and the botanical gardens as well as the island itself to the fullest. It truly was the best tour EVER.

We had a great excursion to the town of Soufriere, visit Botanical Gardens and the falls. Guide James was knowledgable. - We had a great day out with tour guide James. He took us to hidden James on the way back. Could take lot of pictures. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Beautiful and peaceful - Gorgeous and peaceful environment. Flowers are stunningly beautiful. The sound of the water falling makes everything more tranquil. It cost US $7.50 per person. To save money, we opted out of the tour. The shade was welcome relief from the sun.

Beautiful (mostly) peaceful place - This place was part of an excursion offered by our small cruise ship (Sea Cloud).
The garden was private property and preserved as a memorial to the owner's parents. The guide we had (English speaking) was extremely knowledgeable and set about naming all the plants from the second we set foot in the garden! There is a huge variety of tropical plants, both native and introduced, beautiful flowers. A few birds including quite a lovely Antillean hummingbird. There are baths; unclear if they are available to use: no one was in them on our tour. At the end of the walk is a lovely waterfall. Really neat place to spend a couple hours.
I say "mostly peaceful" as you are unlikely to have the place entirely to your small tour group and some of the larger groups were a bit noisy and intrusive.

Wonderful Experience - We didnt take the tour, just explored the gardens. Felt like we were in Jurrassic Park. The plants, trees were massive. Beautiful sprays of plants, trees, flowers..Very calming. Very educational.

Tour a disappointment. - The driver showed up in a car too small for 4 people. About 30’minutes into the trip his car broke down. I had to pay another driver $120 to complete the “tour”. The driver said he would contact TripAdvisor for us to get a refund - nothing yet. This was by far the worst experience we had while in St. Lucia. We need a refund for this excursion.
