Soufriere Tour

Um tour esplêndido para conhecer a melhor parte de Santa Lucia. O Jardim Botânico que tem uma pequena cascata, o Vulcão, tomar banho na lama e depois terminar com um banho de cachoeira. Nosso guia Kimbert foi super atencioso e parou em diversos pontos para tirar fotos maravilhosas. Recomendo muito este passeio.

Fantastic day. Essentially it's having a driver take you around for the day, sharing his/her knowledge and local insights, and helping you tick off all the things you want to cover in the Soufriere area. We were able to tailor for the things we wanted to do and added in the Project Chocolat tour (booked separately). Great communication after booking and before the day itself. The driver was friendly and funny - made the long journey from Gros Islet to Soufriere much more enjoyable. As it was private (just my friend and me) it avoided the hassle of joining a busload of other people and having to be restricted about what we did. Note: you will need to pay for the sights/attractions themselves (e.g. rum distillery, volcano etc) when you arrive so take both cash and card. Overall, highly recommended.

We are so glad we found this trip through Viator! The car was so clean and extremely comfortable for two people. The plantain and sweet potato chips were our favorite out of the refreshments provided. Our driver Kimbert was so sweet and knowledgeable. If you need a car to tour Soufriere you should book this one. My sister and I did not do a lot of research before booking our trip to SL. After our ride to the hotel from the airport, we were worried that we would not get to all the sights we wanted to see. The drive from Rodney Bay to Soufriere (which is closer to the airport) is long and windy due to SL’s mountainous landscape. We thought it might be faster by boat, but the boat tour the hotel had available only brought you to the mud baths, and we wanted to do more stops. This tour had everything we wanted to see, and it was cheaper than getting a taxi locally, so we booked it. Kimbert let us chose the order of stops we wanted to do, and allowed us to exchange the rum tasting (we’re not big drinkers) for a lunch at Hotel Chocolat. Our advice to futures travelers is bring small bills (for entrance fee and tips) and exact change for the bath admissions so you can leave your things in the car. If you get car sick bring Dramamine, no amount of driving skill can change the number of hairpin turns you’ll encounter. Bring pool shoes and sneakers if you plan on doing the Tet Paul nature trail and the baths. If you’re a foodie, you can pick your lunch stop. I would not say this is a half day tour, for us there was a lot of traffic that day (Monday), plus we had a long lunch, so the excursions actually took the whole day 8:30-6pm. On the drive down you will also make several scenic stops, we stopped by Kimbert’s friend’s banana farm which was very interesting, and we stopped at an adorable local chocolate shop which had amazing truffles (Hotel Chocolat does not sell truffles). The hot springs really are very hot. You’ll have an amazing and full day! We were trying our hardest not to doze off in the way back.
