Great experience from beginning to end! Highly recommend! The day started overcast but turned out to be a great day!🙂
We had a phenomenal experience with Jason and Carlito. They picked us up by boat at the resort and gave a knowledgeable water tour of the coast. We stopped and snorkled/swam on Sugar Beach followed by a trip to the mud baths, and waterfalls. We also had a lunch at a local restaurant. It was a smaller group than many of the tours from the resort. Carlito and Jason were fantastic and we would highly recommend!
Excellent and professional staff. It was an amazing adventure. I strongly recommend them. So much fun.
Had an amazing time! The price for all the activities we got to do was very much worth it. Didn’t feel rushed during each stopping point and activity either. Marlon and shaggy took really good care of us and the group we booked with! My fiancé and I definitely recommend.
This tour is a perfect way to see a lot of what the island has to offer. Smaller boat so it’s not over crowded and shaggy and Marlan were very hospitable
Ozzy and Shaggy were great guides. Ask for them, for sure.
The activities were great. The lunch food was good, the restaurant staff could have been friendlier and attentive to getting us waters etc when we’d been hot and on the tour for 3-4 hours.
Awesome!!! This excursion was the best one we went on during our whole cruise! Marlan’s Boat Tours was wonderful! Seeing St. Lucia by sea and land is the absolute best way to experience the island. Our tour guide aboard Trick Sea was very polite and friendly. Once on land our guide on the van was very good. They got us back to our ship on time. We absolutely would book this tour again!
There was a huge miscommunication between Viator and our tour guide. Do NOT book with Viator. Book with the actual tour group. It gets 3 stars because the trip itself was fantastic. However, the group we booked with through Viator was Marlon’s boat tours. He subcontracted to someone else. We got to the meeting point at the correct time and nobody was there. Thankfully a local knew the tour operator and called him. He came back to get us. The tour itself was fantastic (contracted to JJ’s). Then at the end we were told we owed over $600 which I already paid. The stress of booking through Viator was not worth it. I will never ever book a tour through them again. I called their customer service land got zero help.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced on the morning of your tour. Unfortunately, we received a late cancellation that morning, which meant we no longer met the minimum capacity of eight guests required to operate that specific excursion. As a result, we arranged for you to join another operator who follows the same itinerary as the tour you originally booked. We truly regret the frustration this caused and the impact it had on your morning. Your experience matters to us, and we are committed to improving communication around minimum‑capacity cancellations so guests are informed as early as possible. We are glad to hear that you still enjoyed the excursion you ultimately joined, and we appreciate your understanding. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing to explore St. Lucia.
Be careful! This is was not well organized and seemed to put 4 different tours all together- including people that were just going to the airport from their hotels so the first hour and change was us just being an uber boat. It was insane. We left one person behind and went all the way back. So we couldn’t even start out excursion of sightseeing and snorkel till the airport people were done! We didn’t get all included with lunch and we never stayed at any place but more than a few mins for each person to take a pic at the place then we left bc we were out of time from being a uber boat. And some man named Simon - Simon says- apparently uses this group as well . They were sold a different experience than me / different price- there’s cheaper and yet we were together wondering how we became an uber. My first time having a bad Viator experience. Last I go into trouble snorkeling and needed to get back to boat - the guides would not help. They yelled swim back. So one of the other guest- took me and swam me back to the boat hisself. These people didn’t care if we lived or died. Please be careful- I’d go through the resort
