Both parts were great. My tour gide, and driver were great! My tour guide was very knowledgeable withe the information. They brought laughter, info, and fun. I would definitely do it again, 10/10 recommend!
We had a brilliant time. The absolute highlight of the whole holiday was on this trip - the captain was clearly an expert and took us to a massive pod of dolphins as far as the eye could see. A wonderful, memorable day.
I had high hopes for this tour, but it turned out to be quite disappointing. The early pick-up was completely unnecessary, as we ended up sitting in the car for two hours with nothing to do. The "boat ride" was significantly shorter than promised. After finishing at the botanical gardens, we aimlessly drove around trying to kill time. We eventually had to buy our own lunch because we couldn't wait any longer, since the lunch was to be provided on the boat. Overall, the tour felt disorganized and poorly managed. I wouldn't recommend it.
Dear Veronie, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We understand your frustrations as you waited for a substantial length of time to board the Catamaran and we apologize for the inconvenience which you encountered. We have been in communication with the supplier who provided the service to us and will be in touch with you via email today. It did take longer than we anticipated to have the supplier respond to us. We appreciate your feedback which is invaluable to us as we strive to always achieve client satisfaction . We Thank you for your patience.
The land and sea tour was a brilliant sampling of some of the most notable sights St Lucia has to offer. Our driver, Richard navigated the winding roads of the island deftly, and our guide M explained what we were seeing and it's history. The sulphur springs were reinvigorating, the Torraile waterfall was bracing, and the snorkeling was breathtaking. Be sure to bring a towel, as all the stops involve getting wet one way or the other. If your hotel is not located at the north end of the island you'll have quite the trip to get to the starting point of the tour. We arranged a separate taxi to the site, then the tour took us right back the same route past our hotel and our return taxi did it all again. We knew this going in, but travelling the same roads three times in a day was a bit silly in retrospect.
Thank you for sharing your experience on our Best of Both Worlds Land and Sea Adventure. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Your feedback about the logistics and the repeated route is duly noted. We appreciate your understanding and would like to assure you that we'll review this. Your insights are valuable, and we hope to welcome you again on another adventure in St. Lucia. Safe travels!
We were supposed to see the mud baths(stunk awful there), diamond waterfall and botanical garden, and another waterfall. Got gypped on botanical garden and diamond waterfall. Melinda our tour guide was great tho. On the sea aspects the boat was nice, the crew other than an older man and a woman were super helpful and friendly, the snorkeling was AMAZING! And the guy that swam out with you was super nice and helpful. It was annoying though they let pedlers pull up to boat and annoy us. All in all a worthwhile trip
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the disappointments. However, we're glad to know that Melinda was great, and you enjoyed the sea aspects, especially the amazing snorkeling. We appreciate your comments and are pleased that, overall, it was a worthwhile trip for you.
Due to traffic the tour started late and sites that was supposed to be included was cut short. It seemed rushed and as we did this tour some years ago, it seemed the tour lacked the personable experience it once had.
Dear Penny G, Thank you so much for letting us know about this. Your feedback helps us do better. Our company considers customer satisfaction a top priority, we are looking into this issue and hope to resolve it promptly and accurately. Thank you once again.
Tour Driver Samuel was fantastic. We were only 4 people on tour so he gave us exceptional attention. Very very knowledgeable about where he was taking us. And he was a great driver of the road. The day is very full but filled with super things to do and see. The snorkeling at the end of day is fantastic.
Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review. We appreciate it. Samuel and I read the review together. It made him very happy. He is now showing it to everyone. Have a wonderful day! We hope to see you soon.
The crew on this catermeran trip was awesome. If you plan to take this excursion be sure and ask for Jenna. Jenna did a great job in explaining things to us. Jenna and her crew had a great sense of humor great music. Thank you Jenna.

The land and sea tour was great, and our guide was awesome. We got a really good feel for the island on the land tour. The island is so lush! It was nice stopping in a couple of fishing villages. We also loved the gardens, the mud bath, and especially the beautiful Pitons. We enjoyed the boat ride back along the coast. The snorkeling was very fun, and the water is really beautiful.
Thank you for choosing our Best of Both Worlds tour. We are elated that we could help you experience the beauty of our wonderful island! We hope that this will not be your last trip to St. Lucia. kind regards
