December 11, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

When was the last time you went out for a casual drive and ended up inside a volcano? A surreal scenario comes to life at La Soufrière, one of the most popular attractions in St. Lucia. Pack your skin with the medicinal mud of Sulfur Springs for a DIY spa treatment. Continue your eruptive adventures with a guided hike of the two volcanic plugs known as the Pitons then ascend Morne Fortune to take in the sweeping views. For an intimate beach experience, hit the private black sands of Anse Mamin.

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!

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.

I arranged a Round-the-Island Tour with Andre for 7 of us, some of whom live here and some of whom were here on boats for a long period while the borders were closed. We all wanted a change of scene and a chance to look around. It's a very difficult time for taxi drivers and others with none of the usual tourist crowds and cruise ships here. On the other hand we took advantage of the lack of people to enjoy the view points and quiet places. Andre entertained us as usual with his excellent knowledge of the island and remembered how to sing! We stopped on the way down the west coast to buy cassava bread and at Soufriere for freshly - made smoothies at Zaca's. We bought lovely pottery in Choiseul, drove up to the lighthouse at Moule a Chique in Vieux Fort and had a late lunch at the Reef before driving back up the east coast. It was a long day but we so enjoyed it and Andre was an untiring, companiable and flexible driver. I highly recommend him.
