I had pleasant experience using St Lucia A1 Airport Shuttle for airport transfer from International airport to Hotel and back. They emailed me a day earlier details of shuttle such as tag #, Name of Driver and his contact information. Once we cleared the customs slaspa booth outside called shuttle and we were on our journey in few minutes. The driver was helpful and answered all questions related to sightseeing etc. On the return journey driver arrived on time at hotel and dropped us at airport gate. Overall, I had good experience with St Lucia A1 Airport Shuttle and I would recommend them.

I booked Lady Anne for my husband and I's 19th wedding anniversary! I communicated with the Hackshaws team via whatsapp many months before and they made the entire process seamless. They ensured me of their COVID protocols and cancellation policies. I was also suggested a french chef who catered our amazing lunch!! I would absolutely book with Hackshaws again! Lady Anne is such a beautiful boat and I'm so glad I was able to rent it even though it was just for two of us.

We used Sugar Boat Charters twice on our trip to St Lucia, and I have nothing but great things to say about our experience. First excursion - snorkeling. It was an awesome time!! Mario and Ted are friendly and knowledgeable. They took us to all of the great snorkeling spots, and we also got to go to some beautiful beaches and relax/swim. They grew up in Soufriere, so they know the ins and outs of the area. They took us to some more secluded areas where we were the only ones on the beach, which was nice. They were flexible with letting us decide how long we wanted to stay at each location, which was nice! The rum punch was yummy and we had some Piton beers too. They let us hook up our music to the speakers, which was fun. They have great energy and are great guys to spend a few hours with!! Second excursion - sunset cruise, which we booked through our hotel (Caille Blanc). I LOVED THIS!! They provided some yummy appetizers and the rum punch, Piton Beers, and champagne were flowing. It was a nice scenic cruise around the island and then we stopped to watch the beautiful sunset. The music they played was awesome too (thank goodness Tripadvisor wouldn't let me post my videos because I saw singing in all of them) - truly a great playlist!! Sunset cruise was a highlight of the trip!! Both experience were very fun and scenic. We got some great videos and pictures of the pitons! The staff takes the COVID protocols seriously and wear a mask at all times.

Vicky is great! She picked us up with a smile and we headed to the Tet Paul Nature Trail for beautiful views. Then we saw the volcano and finished off with a walk at the botanical gardens. Vicky took care of all the admissions and we had a personal guide for each experience. Such a great way to see and learn about the island! We did it on one of our first days, and we’re so glad we did not rent a car, it’s worth having a pro do the driving! A tip: if you’re staying in the Castries area, it’s a long swervy drive to Soufriere... but all the stops are worth it. You’ll be gone most of the day, so take a few snacks, water, sunscreen or a hat, etc. There are washrooms at each stop. We definitely recommend booking a tour with Vicky, she’s just like all the reviews say: friendly, knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with!

Last minute thing last week, referred by another resort patron. Called on short notice, not expecting it to work out, but Hernelle and Alleyn Ross went above and beyond to make it happen. Personally picked up my wife and I, great conversation both directions, Alleyn was a safe driver. Highly recommend for any activities on St Lucia. Prices are cheaper than what's available through the resorts, and they are in full compliance with covid protocols. They also later went back to the location in Castries they had taken us to deliver something I had forgotten to take with me. They put up my brewery sticker on the wall of Antilla Brewing's taproom.

Jim picked us up from our AirBnB around 9:30a to begin an amazing private tour around St. Lucia. He’s highly knowledgeable about Lucian history and culture, and a great conversationalist. While driving through this beautiful landscape, we learned the significance of various landmarks from east to west, and were introduced to cassava cakes (a must try) baked in numerous flavourful varieties (be sure to go early for more options—they’re that good!). We experienced the sulphuric mud baths and a beautiful dip in the Piton Falls in Soufriere. Shortly after, we ate at a local restaurant in a vibrant location by the water. I would highly recommend this tour. You’ll leave St. Lucia in awe, with experiences to discuss for days.

I arranged a Round-the-Island Tour with Andre for 7 of us, some of whom live here and some of whom were here on boats for a long period while the borders were closed. We all wanted a change of scene and a chance to look around. It's a very difficult time for taxi drivers and others with none of the usual tourist crowds and cruise ships here. On the other hand we took advantage of the lack of people to enjoy the view points and quiet places. Andre entertained us as usual with his excellent knowledge of the island and remembered how to sing! We stopped on the way down the west coast to buy cassava bread and at Soufriere for freshly - made smoothies at Zaca's. We bought lovely pottery in Choiseul, drove up to the lighthouse at Moule a Chique in Vieux Fort and had a late lunch at the Reef before driving back up the east coast. It was a long day but we so enjoyed it and Andre was an untiring, companiable and flexible driver. I highly recommend him.
