- Morne Fortune - Visit the Government House, a significant piece of historical architecture in St. Lucia. Discover the old military barracks and Gunpowder Magazine. The name Morne Fortune translates to “Hill of Good Luck” in French, ironically, as it was the site of fierce battles between French and British forces.
- Marigot Bay - Located just under four miles south of Castries, Marigot Bay has been described as “the most beautiful in the Caribbean” by James Michener, who chronicled the islands in 1989. This hurricane hole is protected by steep hillsides surrounding its small, deep harbor. It was also featured in the 1967 movie Dr. Doolittle, starring Rex Harrison and a large pink snail!
- Sulphur Springs - Named for the sulfur once mined here, Mount Soufriere (also known as Sulphur Springs Park) is the most active geothermal area in the Lesser Antilles.
- Toraille Waterfall - As one of the largest waterfalls in the area, Toraille is a natural heritage site popular among tourists for its accessible facilities. It’s easy to reach, so even without a strenuous hike, visitors can enjoy this natural wonder. The waterfall drops about 50 feet into a pool where visitors can swim, enjoying the relaxing sensation of the water cascading down like a massage.
- Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens - Please Note: If time allows, this attraction is a must-see.
Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens is a six-acre, multi-award-winning tourism site, offering an attractive, alluring, and peaceful retreat from the outside world. Enjoy the tropical beauty and warmth while walking through lush vegetation and marveling at the diverse range of tropical flowers and plant life. Experience a breathtaking waterfall, hot mineral springs filling historical baths with age-old medicinal waters, and abundant flora and fauna.

Awesome day trip with the wonderful Lloyd - We used St.Lucia Best Experience Tours for a custom day trip during our visit to the island in May. We had requested Danny Boy as our guide several months in advance and we were initially disappointed when on the morning of our excursion it wasn’t Danny Boy who turned up to collect us. Our disappointment rapidly dispersed though as we quickly got to know Lloyd and we couldn’t have wished for a better guide.
Lloyd was punctual, an excellent driver, knowledgeable, informative and so friendly – we felt like we were on a day our with a friend and were gutted to say goodbye at the end of our trip.
We went to Tet Paul, the volcanic mud baths, Diamond falls and botanical gardens, the rum distillery and had loads of photo opportunities throughout the day. We really enjoyed learning about St Lucia and having a laugh with Lloyd along the way, and he has excellent taste in music to boot – we’ve come home with an extended paylist to our St Lucia trip and will always remember him and our day out with fond memories whenever we listen to it. We will never forget cruising through the villages singing along to Reggae and Country music – good vibes only!
Big thanks Lloyd – wishing you all the very best in all you do.

THE GENERÁL! - My gf and myself were lucky enough to get ourselves essentially a private tour by what seemed like a local island celebrity. ‘The General’ took us on a (seemingly a bit perilous) car trip + private tour of the several mRNA/valleys on the way to the Pitons as well as some choice spots once we arrived. Yes, we did the Sulphur baths and all the things you see in the pictures but, literally everyone knew our tour guide. I told him he should get into politics…as he already seemed like the defacto mayor of the several towns we went through. I was suspicious (of a self-given nickname as a tour gimmick) when he first told us his name but, everyone hollering to ‘THE GENERAL!’ As we drove through the towns convinced me of the name’s legitimacy. I wish we could have had more time for his tour but, we had to make tracks back toward the boat and he got us delivered there on time, after having a nice takeaway lunch/dinner on the beach near the airport.
Great day, all thanks to ‘The General.’

Great Time with the Good Vibes only Crew!!!! - My family and I planned this excursion as part of a cruise vacation and we had a great time! Jungle Boy Lloyd and our driver Mikel did an amazing job. The ride is a little long but they ensure you are having a good time by making stops along the way and providing historical facts about the island. The sulfur springs and waterfall felt amazing!!!!!! We also stopped at the pitons to take pictures. You will not be disappointed with this tour! I highly recommend to this with limited time that want to see the island.

VIP experience. Highly recommend! - St. Lucia was a stop on our cruise. The directions t find the tour were very easy to follow. As soon as we exited the terminal Danny Boy was there to pick us up. You truly feel like a VIP with Danny Boy as a tour guide. He is funny, charismatic, and very knowledgeable with all facts pertaining to his beautiful home of St. Lucia. We were the envy of all guests at the sulfur baths as he became a true Picasso and took the time to assist us with decorating ourselves creating a work of art using the mud as the paint and our bodies as the canvas. We had an amazing time with Danny Boy and would highly recommend him and can guarantee you will experience a 5 star tour.

Good vibes with Danney Boy - Danney Boy was an entertaining, extremely knowledgeable and fun tour guide. He met us at the cruise port and adapted our tour to include exactly what we wanted to see as there were just the 4 of us. The highlight was the sulphur springs and waterfall which he made so much fun for us as he painted designs on us all which we then washed off in the waterfall leaving our skin feeling wonderful. It is clear Danney is a real character on the island and everyone knows him. We felt privileged that he was our guide for the day. This truly was the best and most memorable tour of our cruise holiday and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for the best day out in St Lucia. Thank you Danney!

Educational and relaxing - We had a driver Javan, for our excursion and he was great. He took us to so many places and seems he knows everyone on the island. We stopped and had a great buffet lunch, and I hate buffets, but this was clean, the food fresh and good. I could eat there every day. Javan had us playing an island guessing game. asking us what certain things were and what the purpose was including a fresh almond, the rat guards on banana trees and more, IT was educational and fun. Should we come back I have his card and will specifically ask for him. He made the trip memorable and great.
