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!!!

Shal, our guide and driver of the Jungle Tour Landrover jeep, was just right for us two adventurous couples. With a cooler full of waters, beers and rumpunch, we saw tropical rainforest, ate freshly baked bread from a local village bakery (no sign on the building, but Shal knows this kind of thing) bought local jerk seasoning and handmade woven baskets. I had my misgivings about the mud baths at the volcano, but we had a blast. There were a bunch of young Germans at the time. We all got covered in the special cleansing clay (with bathing suits on). Pretty rustic, but a cool experience. We felt refreshed and my skin was so soft afterwards. Shal was so personable, we ended up singing country songs with him as we whizzed through the beautiful landscape. One warning, when the top is on the Landrover, it gets fumy inside. We only had the top on when it was raining. Most of the day it was not raining, and the fresh air and sweet rich fragrance of the rainforest made up for it. Our lunch in Soufriere with a spectacular view of the Pitons over the bay was delicious - I was surprised by and enjoyed what tasted like potato salad, but was made with green bananas, no potatoes at all! Shal got us back to the cruise ship just in time - what a full fun day!

Mora and her driver, Dandy, were amazing!! We spent three days with them visiting various locations around St. Lucia including, the sulphur springs, a botanical garden, Gros Piton, Casava Bakery, Banana Plantation, mud baths, local villages, and a couple eateries. Mora is extremely knowledgeable about everything St. Lucia. She took time to answer questions and explain things, and even took some great photos for us. She was very prompt in her communication though out the entire process. They were both very personable, and the days spent with them were the highlight of our trip. They said “come as strangers, leave as friends”, and that’s exactly how we felt. We can’t say enough...we highly recommend!

My husband and I are so eternally grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Nadia and Barefoot Holidays team. At all times they were extremely professional and provided quality customer service. Super-Efficient, answered all my daily messages and calls, lol. As our wedding planners they went above and beyond the call of duty. Nadia and her team executed our wedding dream come true. It was everything we wanted and more. Months of planning and all the challenges including last minute venue changes they kept us stress free ????We knew we were in good hands. For the wedding reception Nadia and her team came up with the most beautiful and innovative decor. Wow, it was really lovely. We received wonderful feedback from our family and friends on how lovely, and creative the decorations were... Especially the over bridge table flowers and bouquets, lighting and arrangements around the room. Julian was super pleased with the special customized dance floor. Our entertainment at the reception had our guests dancing for hours, just the way we wanted... Barefoot Holidays St Lucia are like family and made sure we were well taken care of in every aspect. Sincere thanks and gratitude from your truly satisfied Mr. & Mrs. Toussaint
