The bustling port city of Castries is St. Lucia's capital. Shoppers flock to the city's dozens of stores and to Castries Market for fruits, vegetables and handicrafts. Sightseers admire murals painted by a local artist inside Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, and relax in Derek Walcott Square, named for the St. Lucian Nobel-prize-winning poet. Atop Morne Fortune (Hill of Good Luck) - where the French and English battled over control of the island - visitors take in panoramic vistas.

We met Captin Sam at the market He was very accommodating, he did such a great job being a taxi driver . Captain Sam did a great job and he was knowledgeable about the island. 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.

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!

Awesome experience and Danny put the icing on the cake for sure. Made the car transport go by quick and was super informative. Let us stop at the chocolate hotel and lunch with an amazing view. The hike is semi strenuous so if you are not fit I do not recommend. The view was amazing and the feeling of accomplishment is even better. Thanks Danny for making this experience amazing!!!
