9 Walking Tours in Gros Islet That You Shouldn't Miss
Gros Islet, on the northern tip of St. Lucia, is a blossoming destination, at once remote and exciting. The best way to explore the shoreline may be Island Riders, where riding veterans and beginners alike can trot along on horseback and chat with the locals. The Jump Up street party, perhaps the most recognized of the town's attractions, is also a must for a taste of Gros Islet's unique blend of food and music.

The best part of our trip! I was searching for an excursion that was going to get us the best bang for our buck. Since most of the resorts are northwest of the island, I wanted a tour that was going to be able to bring me to the highlights of St. Lucia which are mainly south of the island. This exceeded our expectations! Not only did we see everything but he gave us the flexibility to choose where and what we wanted to do. He gave us so much history about the island and he made sure we were safe the entire time! VERY COVID FRIENDLY! It was a great second-day activity because we were able to see a snapshot of what the entire island has to offer and then go back to the places that we enjoyed so much. It saves you a TON of money on taxi fair. Just stop what you're doing and book them. Trust me, it's worth it! Oh, and bring snacks! :)
2. Majestic Gros Piton Hike
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 34 reviews
It's only a 4-mile walk up and down the tree-covered symbol of Saint Lucia- that is, up a winding trail that climbs the steep, rain forest-covered slopes of a 2,619 foot volcanic mountain. Periodically, the trees give way to breathtaking vistas of the emerald-green island and the too-blue waters of the Caribbean. Guides are mandatory, but full of knowledge. The caves once used as shelters by freedom fighters of the Brigand war, brightly colored tropical birds and lush vegetation that includes giant gommiers (used to make canoes), the smaller swizzlestick tree ( used to make swizzle sticks) and "peeling tourists" - trees with flaky brown bark that looks painfully familiar to anyone who's fallen asleep on the beach without sunblock.
Inclusions: 1.5 litres of bottled water each and our local Piton beer, Driver/guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Port pickup and drop-off, Alcoholic Beverages
Exclusions: Entrance Fee - $50.00PP - Paid to Piton Reserve Office for Specialized Guide, Lunch

Never have we had such an educational and professional taxi driver than Danny Boy! For starters, the service is Covid-compliant, the ride is a modern, comfortable, clean, burgundy-colored Toyota. The driver is an historical encyclopedia as to his home island of St Lucia. What we expected to be a standard cab ride turned into a rolling game show, complete with a final exam and a friendly competition between my husband & I (and I won!). We had so much fun with Danny boy! Don’t miss the opportunity to ride with Danny Boy!

The rainforest was about a 30 minute drive from our Sandals resort but well worth it. We did the tram ride which goes quite slow and is quiet and peaceful, about an hour long. Our excellent guide, Quinton, pointed out horticulture along the way. Best way to see the rainforest! Then, we did a small guided hike before it was time to go.

Franceen and Sigmund were the best hides and photographers. We traveled all over the island from Casteries to Soufriere. The breakfast and lunch was amazing as were the views and they provided history everywhere we went and also drinks. I’d highly recommend them to anyone wanting an inclusive all day tour with great photography. Five stars!
