Great Experience! - Orvil was an excellent guide. Super knowledgeable about the country and its history, and possibly one of the only guides with such personal experiences with the last volcanic eruption and filming of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Would definitely book again with IV Tours!

IV Tours Exceeded Expectations in SVG! - This was a fantastic tour from start to finish! The sights from Pirates of the Caribbean and the Dark View Falls were great as expected, but what made this tour stand out was the added trivia and information that our guide, Orvil, had for us. He took us through most of the south and west sides of the island, had interesting facts about each of the towns we drove though, and had places to stop with incredible views of the Caribbean Sea, La Soufriere, and even St. Lucia in the distance.
Orvil was incredibly friendly and really seemed to enjoy his job, which boosted the mood throughout the entire day. His knowledge and love of the island, along with behind the scenes knowledge of Pirates of the Caribbean, made this an unforgettable way to experience St Vincent. We highly recommend IV Tours to anyone visiting SVG!

Incredible Island Tour Included!!! - You know this tour takes you to Dark View Falls, Wallilabou Bay and Fort Charlotte, but it doesn't mention that a complete leeward side island tour is included as well!
We spent a whole day (including hotel pickup/drop-off) with our incredible guide "Ruff" (Orville) with IV Tours. He gave us so much historical information and amazing stories of his time working with the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean, as well as his time working as a journalist during the 2021 volcano eruption. Even though the "Pirates" set was closed while we were there, he had awesome stories about working with the actors and he showed us spots all over the island where different scenes were filmed. His stories were so interesting!
He is a photographer, and he took dozens of amazing photos for us and even sent them back the same day. We had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant and we ended the day with a surprise by going to a house of someone he knew so we could get the most incredible view of Kingstown.
He went above and beyond by spending the entire day with us, even though he had class immediately after our tour, and an exam the next morning! What an amazing experience we had with IV Tours!! They do many different tours both by land and sea. No matter what tour you choose, I guarantee you will be satisfied!

Amazing Experience with the Best Tour Guide in St. Vincent! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had an unforgettable time exploring St. Vincent, all thanks to our incredible tour guide! From start to finish, he was warm, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about showcasing the beauty and culture of the island.
Every stop on the tour was thoughtfully planned — from breathtaking views and hidden waterfalls to historical gems we would’ve missed on our own. Ruff shared stories, history, and fun facts that made the experience both educational and enjoyable. He was patient, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone in the group was comfortable and having a great time.
If you're visiting St. Vincent and want an authentic, memorable adventure, I highly recommend booking with IV Tours. You won’t regret it!

Great experience - The tour was amazing! We had such a great time. Orvil was the perfect tour guide. He took the time to explain the rich history of St Vincent. He also took us to the best point of views of the island. No rush, we had the time to swim and explore at the falls. Much apreciated in a tour :)
We recomand!!

AMAZING tour and guide! - Our tour with Mr Samuel aka Ruff was without a doubt the highlight of my trip. I went on the tour with my 5 year old daughter, mother and aunt, both of whom are in their 60s. The tour is quite long, but Mr Samuel is so knowledgeable about his island and so easy to chat with, we were never bored once. We first went to dark view falls and waded in the shallow waters, had a quick bite and then headed towards the most northern part of the island, where we saw first hand the destruction of the volcano. This was an unexpected detour and oh so worth it! Mr Samuel treated us like family, taking us to see these extra sites as we had shown great interest in the volcanic eruption from 2 years ago. From there, we went to the next site, wallilabou. Unfortunately, that site was closed unbeknownst to not only Mr Samuel, but other tour guides who were at a total loss as to what to do. Mr Samuel however, quickly offered us another site to visit the following day in exchange for the inability to visit wallilabou. From Wallilabou, we drove through Kingstown (this could have been a longer visit, as we wanted to come out and take pics but unfortunately were unable to) and then ended at Fort Charlotte. We were told that the fort was under construction and not open to the public, but Ruff has his connections, and we were able to enter and once again be educated by Mr Samuel. He truly is very knowledgeable about his island, and his pride and love for SVG is evident.
Another point to note, and a VERY important one, is that my aunt unknowingly left a substantial amount of money in his van in error. Mr Samuel called us that very night to inform us of his find and assured us that it was safe with him. It was returned the very next day without any issue.
This tour was incredibly informative, fun and we felt like we were with a good friend. The ONLY downside was the AC in the van... it would have to be taken off when going uphill, and the passengers in the back were uncomfortably hot for that part. Other than that, I whole heartedly recommend IV tours and Mr Samuel. Amazing and definitely worth the price! Do not hesitate to book with him!

Memorable experience - We used I V Tours, a local tour company here in St. Vincent. We couldn't have had better tour and guide. Orville was very knowledgeable about the island and he had first hand experience living here all his life. It was very interesting that he worked with the crew on the set of the movie, Pirates of the Caribbean. So when we saw the set he could point out the various details and how the were incorporated into the movie. He also had first hand experience with the eruption of the volcano in 2021. He was the main photographer of the eruption event and his pictures were featured by news media all over the world! We got to see the volcano from a distance and he took us to where we could still see where the volcano ash and debris had wiped out a river.
The Dark View Waterfalls were beautiful and we were lucky to be the only ones there.
Overall it was a wonderful tour with a very expetienced guide. I would highly recommend it.

PRIVATE LEEWARD TOUR - (Possibly 4.5) Booked a private 2 person full day tour of the leeward side of St. Vincent, including the botanical gardens as an extra. It appeared that possibly the tour company was exceptionally busy that day and contracted our tour out. However; David was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable about St. Vincent. He totally covered any requested area and, in fact, spent extra time with us. Definitely a full day!
