Dark View Waterfall and Beach Tour

The trip was wonderful! Our guide was so knowledgeable of the island, periodically stopping en route to Dark View Falls to give us little bits of information regarding the island. The falls themselves were breathtaking. The ride was kind of long but SO worth it. The downside was Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s cool that the movie was filmed on the island, but what originally seemed like an awesome spot to visit, kind of felt like a roadside attraction; comparable to something like “the Worlds Biggest Ball of Yarn”. Being that the movies are over 20 years old at this point, there are minimal set pieces left. The one building that was erected was only used for the outside, and the inside is full of scaffolding. The roof of that building is also filled with bats, and the ground covered in bat poop with the smell to match. There was not a lot to see - it’s a 5 minute walk around with peddlers trying to sell cheap bracelets / necklaces. This is all coming from an avid Disney fan. All in all I’m very happy we went, the falls were gorgeous, and we can say that we saw where the Pirates movies were filmed.

We ended up doing a private tour because they needed 4 guests to do this through Viator. We ended up paying twice what we were expecting but still worth it. It was a great way to see the island. Sean was a great guide.

We had a fantastic time with Fraiser on the tour. He is dedicated to service and goes the extra mile. This was a very memorable experience that we will always cherish. Thank you!

A superb day seeing St Vincent and hearing about it from a lovely local man passionate about his island. We saw dark falls, film location for Pirates of the Caribbean and had chicken wings on the beach. Sean from Fraser tours got us some road side cacao and lime leaves and dropped us at the spice market amongst the busy local crowds.

Easily one of the best guided tours we've had anywhere and we travel a lot! The man himself, Fraser, was super passionate and proud about the island and told us so many stories and little details about the beautiful SV! All along he was extremely friendly and patient with our 10 yr old and never tired of responding to his endless questions! He even stopped and picked a cacao pod for him as my kid was super excited to see one! He also caught crayfish and a crab from underneath the rocks at Dark View falls! Recommended very highly, you won't be disappointed.

The night before the trip we had a message from Viator saying we were the only people booked on the trip so it may not happen. We had paid and had our tickets. Because it had not been cancelled we set the alarm for 6am and were ready to go. 2 minutes before we were due to be picked up the tour was cancelled and we were told we would be refunded. Waste of a day. We booked a local taxi instead. I understand tours may need to be cancelled but 2 minutes before was unacceptable. Never been let down by Viator before but would be cautious in the future.

TRULY a “must-do” adventure specifically with Fraser Tours!! My adult daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed a full-day private tour with Fraser beginning with him picking us up from the Bequia Ferry Terminal (he pointed out the new Prime Minister who was also departing the ferry and they exchanged warm greetings). Immediately felt comfortable. He is a wealth of knowledge about the island having lived and raised his family there. He shared so many stories and history- his passion and energy were contagious! Fraser drove us up the west coast of SV, making multiple stops to show us the mango trees (and enjoy some fresh mango), to explain how nutmeg grows (fascinating), to let us walk the beach, etc. He joined us in the Falls for much laughter and some photo moments-grabbing lobster and crayfish from the rocks (he also provided beach towels and shoes). Lastly the stop at the sight of the filming of the opening scene of Pirates of the Caribbean was a real treat given the insight he shared. My daughter summarized the day so well- it was such fun and I learned sooooo much! He was fantastic!!!

Honest and trustworthy, Fraser quickly earned our respect with his great communication and sense of humor. He pointed out interesting things along the way, helped us understand the local culture, and was just a great guide. If you’re looking for someone in St. Vincent to take you anywhere, this is your guy!

He is amazing. Best tour ever. Great man of God smart and caring
