Shuttle for Gros Piton hike - Booked with Dannyboy & Co for a shuttle to the Gros Piton for hiking for a group of four. Lloyd was our driver and was absolutely excellent. Showed up on time, was kind, funny and informative. We highly recommend booking with Dannyboy! The hike is separate from this booking... You pay the $50 fee per person at the base of the hike and have a different guide at that point while your driver/transport waits for you to return. Any reviews about the actual hike/guide don't reflect this company and their service.

Wonderful experience with Danny boy! - Wonderful experience with Danny boy. We did the Gros Piton hike and he was very knowledgeable on our ride there. We were so grateful for his hospitality and kindness - especially when I got car sick on the way home. He made everything wonderful and we are so grateful for our experience. Highly highly recommend him!

Great experience despite the rain! - Amazing hike, a must do in St Lucia if you enjoy hiking! Danny boy was a good time! It was a little sad because it was cloudy and raining at the top so we didn’t get any views from the summit but there was a great view of petite piton at the halfway mark.

Must book in St Lucia - Dannyboy & Co is a must if you are traveling to St Lucia! We did the Gros Piton hike, mud bath, and waterfall through them. Our Driver was Lloyd and he was incredible. We highly recommend asking for him if possible! He picked us up early from our resort (an hour and a half away from the hike) and gave us a wonderful history and background of the island and the towns we passed through on our way to Gros Piton. He was a very fun dude and made the long winding trip enjoyable! After our hike he guided us to the mud bath and waterfalls, walking us through how they work and went out of his way to take our pictures and joke with us! As for the hike itself, you are given a guide at the base to hike it with you. These guys are very experienced and are there to help out and answer any questions. Our guide Shem was pretty chill and stayed behind us, helping where needed. THIS HIKE IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. It is challenging but very do-able. Be prepared to climb makeshift large steps and rocks for 2 hours because that is essentially what it was. But the view from up top was INCREDIBLE. You could see half the island and it made every tough moment of the hike worth it. When we were there it was very shaded and with the breeze it provided some relief from the sun and humidity. For anyone up to the challenge, we 100% recommend it, not to mention getting a nice piton beer at end has never been more satisfying : )

An arduous but exhilarating experience - We had a great time. The hike is more of an arduous rock climbing experience. If you are not fit, it may be a rough experience. While a pair of sneakers could work, sturdy hiking boots are definitely recommended. The satisfaction of joining the ranks of the few who have made it all the way to the top is indeed exhilarating. My wife made it to the top. I enjoyed a long chat with the local refreshments server at the 1/4 point stop with a spectacular view.
