10 Private Tours in Soufriere That You Shouldn't Miss

July 19, 2021 Christa Meece

Soufriere's backdrop of the Pitons, sea and rainforest provides a picture perfect setting for a visit to this laid-back and relatively undeveloped town in the south of St. Lucia. Considering that its name is French for "sulphur," it should be no surprise to discover the wealth of hot springs and mineral baths. Other great spots to visit include Diamond Botanical Gardens, a slew of pretty beaches and the bike trails that wind through sugar plantation Anse Mamin. Rent a car to see the town.

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.

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!

Due to his great attitude, we decided to see him again the next day, so we customized a trip for my wife and I on are honeymoon. He took us all over the island into a lot of local beaches that most tourist never got to see. He was such a great man and wonderful company, thank you Captain Sam .

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.
