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

January 14, 2022 Emerita Lamoureux

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.

Come enjoy the therapeutic waters of our Sulphur Springs (our very own fountain of youth).  Locals say a bath in here will remove ten years off you.  That we cannot guarantee, but we can guarantee that you will feel a difference in the softness of your skin as the mud acts as an exfoliant.  Rinse off at the Toraille Water Falls and learn a little about the flora and fauna on Island at the Diamond Botanical Gardens. This tour has an approximate duration of six hours. N.B. All tours between now and December 31st 2020, will be conducted as private tours at no additional charge. Minimum of two persons per booking apply.

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.

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!

This exciting feature begins at your location point (hotel or cruise terminal). Join us as we traverse the beautiful west coast of St. Lucia. Our journey will take us through the town of Castries and its environs where your knowledgeable and friendly guide will point out various landmarks. We will also drive through Anse La Raye, a fishing village reminiscent of a time long ago with its colourful architecture. Our next stop Canaries is home to Plas Kassav, a cassava bread production house. Then off to Soufriere. From here you will see St. Lucia's majestic Pitons, truly a marvelous wonder! We will visit the Sulphur Springs where you can take a guided tour of the world’s only drive through volcano or a dip in the warm pools (mud bath), or both! For our cool down, we journey to the Diamond falls for a guided tour or dip in the refreshing pools, your pick! Remember to walk with your cameras as this St. Lucia Tour truly showcases the beauty that is St Lucia.
