Things to do in Gros Islet, Gros Islet Quarter: The Best Private Tours

April 4, 2022 Giuseppe Pratt

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.

Goodbyes are never easy, but we can certainly make it fun.  This approximate four hour tour allows you to combine sightseeing and an airport transfer to the Hewanorra International Airport all in one.  Take in the sights of the two biggest attractions on the island; the world's famous majestic pitons and the World’s only drive through volcano before heading home. Then and only then you can state that you have truly seen Saint Lucia!

Inclusions: Local taxes, Bottled water, Driver/guide, Hotel pickup, Transport by air-conditioned minivan, Cold Towels

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!

We were very pleased that we did this tour on our honeymoon in November, as it was good to get out of the resort, where the food was more global cuisine, and see the real Saint Lucia and experience the food on offer in the way locals do. All of the food that we tried was very good, and we travelled around most of the island during the day. The other 4 people who were supposed to be on the tour never turned up, so it was just the 2 of us with the guide, and he was very friendly and helpful. Thank you for a great day!

Amazing service. Arrived to someone there to escort me and my wife to a line that was specific to our group we traveled with. The line went fast, then they escorted us to check in with customs and someone was at customs to grab our bags and take us to our vehicle. Our driver was great and showed told us plenty about the island. Great choice for me and the wife.

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.

Park was nearly empty, which was great. Our tour guide Jermaine gave us a great overview of life on St Lucia, the history of Pigeon Island and many other fun facts. My wife is a dietitian, Jermaine spent lots of time discussing the local plants and how they are used in local cooking, medicine, etc. The tour was a great pace and he made it fun the entire way. Lunch on the beach was amazing my Chicken Roti was perfect. My wifes gluten free option of jerk chicken and plantains was perfect as well. Highly recommend this tour and get Jermaine if you can!
