Highly recommended
Going to say Jay and Danny our driver and guide was fanastic great guys that will share some great tips of this beautiful island and show you some special sights . The rum tasting was great but loved the day at cacoa chocolate. Making chocolate and learning about it was made fun and the view from the restaurant upstairs was breathtaking . Highly recommended this tour
Operator response
Three signature St. Lucia experiences. One seamless day. That’s where the real value of Chocolates, Rums & Rafts comes in—less time arranging separate tours and repeating the same island drives, and more time actually experiencing St. Lucia. With Jay and Danny adding local tips and special stops along the way, chocolate making, rum tasting and bamboo rafting become one carefully curated journey. More experiences. Less travel. Better value for your vacation time and dollars.

Interesting and relaxing experience.
Excellent exercise and everything went smoothly. Communication from booking to day of outing was very prompt and clear. Transport to all locations in a safe, air conditioned vehicle with friendly amd professional driver. I only wish that it would have been possible to tour the rum distillery as the trip only included a rum tasting session but no tour of the distillery process which is what we were really interested in. Really recommend the river rafting as it was a very relaxing experience.
Operator response
A great combination tour should make the entire day feel SEAMLESS—from the first message to the final stop. We’re pleased that the communication, comfortable transportation and, and professional guiding delivered that experience. We also appreciate the feedback regarding the rum component. This experience currently advertises and includes a guided rum tasting rather than a 90min tour of the distillery production process, and your comments reinforce how important it is that we make that distinction especially clear for future guests.
The bamboo river rafting is often the surprise highlight—peaceful, scenic, and a wonderful contrast to the other experiences of the day. Chocolate, rum, and rafting—three very different tastes of St. Lucia, brought together in one carefully planned journey.

Highly recommend!
This experience was amazing from start to finish! Our driver nick was informative and funny, the chocolate making experience was so unique and so fun and the rum tasting was extensive. I would highly recommend this tour!
Operator response
Chocolate. Rum. Rafting. Three completely different experiences—one brilliantly planned day. Nick's local knowledge and personality helped turn the journey into part of the experience, while hands-on chocolate making and an extensive rum tasting delivered the flavour. For guests wanting to experience more of St. Lucia without spending their vacation repeating the same drives, this combination is hard to beat.

Our guide Jay was great!...
Our guide Jay was great! Enjoyed chocolate making & especially rafting down river. Since several hours long, a snack would have been nice (other excursions we went on provided).
Operator response
We were delighted to hear that your guide Jay was fantastic. We used to offer salted or sweet snacks, but client reviews weren’t convinced (laughs). So now, we encourage clients to indulge in snacks en route, such as the milkshakes and banana bread available at the route stops. See you again soon.

Great combined tour experience
We did the full tour of the chocolates, rum, and rafting and it was an incredible day. The driver/guide was very personable, friendly, knowledgeable and a joy to be around. Making our own real chocolate bar and leaning about how they are made was fantastic. The rafting was relaxing and the rum... yum. Highly recommend this combined tour!!
Operator response
St Lucia Treasures is designed to bring together three of the island’s most memorable moments in one seamless day — local chocolate, Caribbean rum, and relaxed bamboo rafting. Great to hear the full experience delivered exactly that combination of flavor, culture, and easygoing island time.

Chocolate, Rum and Rafting - A must do
An amazing tour from start to finish! Jay, our driver, was fantastic, sharing interesting facts about St Lucia throughout the journey. The chocolate-making experience was hands-on and fun, ending with making our own chocolate bar. The rum tasting offered plenty of delicious rums to sample, though I’d have loved to learn more about how they’re made. The highlight was rafting with Captain Lazarus—a peaceful, almost spiritual journey down the river surrounded by breathtaking scenery. This excursion perfectly captures the culture, beauty and flavours of St Lucia. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic island experience!
Operator response
Great guides like Jay and Captain Lazarus bring each moment to life by sharing the stories, culture, and beauty behind the island. This is St. Lucia experienced beyond the highlights. " BIG THANKS""

Definitely recommend...
Definitely recommend getting picked up from your location. Our driver was awesome, and made the day so much easier than driving ourselves. The chocolate making experience was tasty and interesting, and the chocolate is delicious! The bamboo rafting was relaxing, and our captain, captain Jo (101) was excellent.
Operator response
A well-designed itinerary is one of the best luxuries of any vacation. By combining hands-on chocolate making, authentic rum tasting, and tranquil bamboo rafting into a single guided journey, guests spend less time commuting and more time enjoying St. Lucia. That's the value of thoughtful planning—and exactly the experience CHIC strives to deliver.

If you have Steven you will have a great time! He not only acted as your private driver, but he was also an excellent tour guide and good conversation.

More than transportation—real island hosting.
Thank you for highlighting the difference a knowledgeable, engaging guide can make. Creating relaxed, personalized experiences is exactly what we aim for at CHIC.

A Must-Do St Lucia Experience
This excursion exceeded our expectations from start to finish!
The company was communicative and upfront about everything we could expect, which made the day feel seamless and well-organized. Our driver, Jay, was right on time and shared so much knowledge during the beautiful, scenic drive across the island.
The chocolate-making experience was excellent. It was delicious, hands-on, and very informative. Also, the view from their upstairs restaurant was amazing!
We also enjoyed a great rum distillery stop with tastings, including Bounty and other local rum brands.
The day wrapped up with river rafting, which was the perfect ending. Captain Joe led us and kept us entertained with jokes and great energy. He even made us fresh coco locos right from the coconut with Bounty coconut rum!
All in all, this was a fantastic experience and one I would absolutely do again. Highly recommend!
