Private Tour - Had a great day swimming in the Caribbean sea. 🌊 Israel King Water Taxi is the best tour on the island. Jerome and Cami made sure we had the best time.

Great trip down the west coast of St Lucia - We had an awesome time with Jerome on the Israel King II. The communication was great, he picked up us promptly at our resort and then rushed us back when we needed to get back for another excursion. They were knowledgeable, informative and entertaining and took us to a great spot for lunch in Soufriere. The snorkeling was fantastic especially at Sugar Beach.
After telling us that they had not seen dolphins in weeks we come across a pod of possibly hundreds playing just a short distance off coast. It was definitely something to behold. I tried to upload pics, but the website will not accept them. I'd definitely use this service again.

This Tour Is A Win! - We had such a fun time with Titus & Chris as our guides! We had seen the interior of the island before, so seeing it from the water was truly amazing! St. Lucia is beautiful & varied with mountainous terrain, as well as hidden beaches. The water is so clear and blue! Thank you for a memorable day!

Fantastic day snorkeling and seeing the sights - I booked six of us on the original Israel King boat (the orange one), which meant we had the boat to ourselves and were able to set our own itinerary. We were keen on snorkeling, so after meeting them at Rodney Bay Marina we visited Anse Cochon, Anse Chastenet and Sugar Beach between the Pitons and snorkeled each. Chris and Titus pointed out other sights along the way, kept us topped up with beer and rum punch, organised and picked up lunch for us at Soufriere and kept the banter going all trip, including between themselves in Creole. We were back by 3pm, having enjoyed ourselves immensely. Highly recommended.

Fun half day boat trip and land tour in St Lucia - Chris and Jerome ran a great trip from our hotel along the coast to the beautiful Soufriere town taking in sights including the piton mountains and other pretty spots. We did the add on land tour and waterfalls which was great fun and had lunch on a little beach plus some snorkelling. A lot packed in to a half day but it didn’t feel rushed at all it was at the perfect pace for us. They were really informative and friendly we learned a lot and had lots of fun. The homemade rum punch was also delicious. Highly recommend this well run trip!

Boat trip to see the Pitons - Fantastic experience! Chris and Jerome really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome and enjoy our time. An amazing boat ride to see the pitons was made even better when we stopped off at Soufriere for a mud bath followed by a wash in the waterfall. Would highly recommend

Good experience left us feeling uneasy - At the end of the trip they walked me to an ATM so I could pull out more money to give them a larger tip.
I handed out a lot of tips while in St Lucia but this was the only time a guide counted the tip in front of me and let me know it wasnt enough. I hadn't anticipated how much cash I was going to be giving out that day but between their buddies who swam up beside the boat asking for money, cash needed for lunch, cash required for an extra fuel charge and the tip, I gave them all the cash I had on me and they wanted more. This was the most expensive excursion we did which we did enjoy but I don't like paying the booking agent then being required to pay an extra cash fee to the guide then also them wanting a significant tip. That left us with an uneasy feeling even though we did enjoy the boat ride, beaches and snorkling. Next time we will find a different way to get to the beaches and go snorkling.
