We had an absolutely incredible experience with Off the Beaten Path, and everything was genuinely 5-star from start to finish.
Owin was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, professional and genuinely passionate about sharing the very best of St Lucia. From the moment he picked us up, he made everything so easy and stress-free. The airport transfers were seamless, and throughout our stay he was always reliable, accommodating and happy to go the extra mile.
He showed us so much of the island, including the breathtaking Pitons, the volcano and mud treatment, beautiful waterfalls, and some amazing hidden gems that we would never have found on our own. We also got to experience the Friday Street Party, which was such a highlight and a brilliant way to experience the real culture and atmosphere of St Lucia.
One of the things we appreciated most was Owin's knowledge of the best places to eat. He took us to some fantastic spots and made sure we got to experience authentic St Lucian food rather than just the typical tourist options.
What really made the experience special was how personal it felt. Owin wasn't just a tour guide — he became a friend and genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience of St Lucia, and he went above and beyond to make sure we did.
If you're visiting St Lucia and want to see the real island, experience the culture, discover incredible places and have someone take care of everything, I honestly couldn't recommend Off the Beaten Path Taxi Service highly enough.
Thank you, Owin, for helping make our time in St Lucia so memorable. Absolutely 5 stars — we can't wait to book with you again on our next visit! 🌴🇱🇨

Review
Owin’s Day Tour in Saint Lucia is widely praised as one of the most enjoyable and reliable ways to explore the island — blending safety, flexibility, and deep local knowledge into a truly memorable experience. I consistently highlight his professionalism, humor, and encyclopedic knowledge of Saint Lucia’s history and flora.

Great Tour Guide
The driver was very professional, punctual, responsive and experienced. I could not ask for more as I was traveling across the island. He patiently waited and assisted with the locations on my clients. I would recommend his services to anyone traveling to the country for business or pleasure.

Great Trip / Service - would absolutely book again!
We are a family of 4 that spent a day with Owin from Gros Islet to Soufriere and back. The traffic in St Lucia is pure chaos for visitors, but we always felt safe with Owin behind the wheel. My wife and kids get car sick easily and got sick on every ride in St Lucia except for this one. There was no hard accelerating/braking. As far as the tour goes, we couldn't have asked for a better guide. Owin was a great companion for the day, had a depth of knowledge regarding the history of the island, the people, current events affecting the island and he had a encyclopedic knowledge of the flora of the island. The itinerary for the tour is not set in stone and he was very accommodating for what we wanted to see (we added Tet Paul Nature Trail). There was no hard schedule which made for a relaxing day and allowed us to just enjoy the sites. The price was set for the trip, not the number of riders; $300 for the day for 4 of us was a much better price than other tours we came across. Admission fees to the sites and food costs are on you; the restaurant we stopped at on the way to Soufriere had perhaps the best view we came across in our entire trip. He had a great sense of humor and we really enjoyed his company. We found Off the Beaten Path Taxi Service late in our trip. Had we known about the service before going, we would have tried to book Owin as our transport for every trip. I reached out directly via email and responses were very prompt. We would use the service again and would highly recommend to anyone visiting the island.

Airport return transfer and tours
Owin picked us up from the airport to take us to our hotel. We travelled with our young baby so a safe and reliable transfer was very important. Owin is a very safe driver, polite and knowledgeable. We then booked several other trips with Owin. 100% recommend.

Highly recommend !
If you're visiting Saint Lucia and need a reliable ride with great energy, Owin is your guy! His taxi service was honestly one of the highlights of the trip.
From the moment we got in the car, it was a whole vibe—Owin had music playing, and not just background stuff—real tunes that set the mood and made the drive feel like part of the vacation. He made us feel totally at ease. He shared so much history and local insight along the way, and he did it in a way that felt natural and engaging—not like a scripted tour guide. You can tell he loves his island, and that passion comes through when he talks. Whether you need a quick ride or a tour around the island, Owin delivers both great service and good energy.

Soufriere Day Tour
This was my second time taking the tour and it was absolutely Outstanding Experience!
Our host for the excursion, Owen, was nothing short of exceptional. He was professional, kind, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. As a native of the island, Owen has a wealth of knowledge that he shares with such passion, making the experience not only fun but incredibly enriching.
He goes above and beyond to ensure everyone feels comfortable, safe, and truly enjoys themselves. It’s clear that he cares deeply about creating unforgettable memories for his guests.
I’ve already recommended his business to so many friends and family, and every single one of them has had an amazing time. Don’t wait and book your excursion now! You won’t regret it.

First time in Saint Lucia and Owin did not disappoint us.
First let us start by saying, thank you Owin. I'm usually not the one to write reviews however in this case I definitely will, for the wonderful experience we had. The excursions , the history lessons given, the local cuisine from Beacons & professionalism were welcomed. From the time we meet outside of the vehicle into his vehicle we learned about the culture and island. He open every door for us and stopped at every monument to explain what each stop meant. He took us to different area where local vendors sell souvenirs. He took us to the mud bath where the cost was $10.00 per person and took many pictures for us and explain the order on how to due the mud bath. He then took us to the waterfalls took pictures. Drove us by the prime ministers house. Drive us by the community college. There so much more to tell, I could go on. Please use Owin as a tour guide when ever you visit Saint Lucia. You will not be disappointed.
