“Another Great Trip with Captain Cliff - This is our 2nd trip with Captain Cliff and it was awesome! We wanted to customize our trip this time. We were picked up at the Castries market harbor area and drove to Sugar Beach and the Pitons where we sat on the beach and did some snorkeling. We then went to Soufriere where they had a taxi to pick us up so that we could do the Chocolate experience at Hotel Chocolat. Finally on the way back we got to see a beautiful sunset. They had all of the Piton beer and St. Lucian Rum that we wanted and of course told us all about St. Lucia and what we were seeing. It could not have been a better trip with the nicest people. The boat is amazing too. I would do it again!” - Reviewed on 2024-10-27

“Beautiful, friendly, accommodating - Cliff and his team (Tyrese and Kevin) were amazing! So friendly and very accommodating for us. I’m pregnant and my husband gets very seasick so they were very careful on the bumps or going too fast. Tyrese was a great guide, telling us bits of info about each place but also not talking too much so we can enjoy the scenery. Highly recommended.” - Reviewed on 2024-06-13
