Amazing time, Gros Piton was worth it - Really good communication the night before texting to make sure we all good for the pick up time the next morning . Turned up on time the next morning, super friendly and taught so much about St Lucia along the way way Gros Piton. Guide at Gros Piton was friendly and motivating and we made it to the top and back down. You can grab a nice cold beer to celebrate once you make it back down . Was picked up on time and taken back to hotel safely . I would recommend to solo, group or couple travellers. Ikram

Don't be fooled by the word "hike" - This excursion is not for the faint of heart. As an avid "hiker" in Colorado I thought "I can do this" This was not a hike... this was a climb. Go into it Knowing that. It is hard from the beginning. You gain 2000 feet of elevation in about 3 miles 😬
But it's worth it. It's worth every step, every reach that you make for the blessed ropes along the way. Don't quit when you want to quit at the halfway point!!! Keep going. The view at the top is EVERYTHING and the sense of accomplishment is worth every step...although I will say that when the driver picked us up I thought I would never walk again and I was sore for days. 😂 I hope my experience is an exaggeration and you dear reader do marvelously but alas if you do not...you were warned!

Best day ever! - Amazing day trip with Brett our driver! He arrived to pick us up with snacks & refreshments for the day long trip. Our travel to Gros Piton took about an hour and a half during which he educated us all about the island life and vegetation. The climb was incredibly challenging and took about 4 hours to go up and down. Beautiful scenery and once in a lifetime experience. After our climb he returned with ice cold beer, water, and Gatorade and escorted us to the most delicious local cuisine lunch. On the drive back he even let us take over his radio and sing all the way home. Great day and experience.
A little misleading however, this trip basically was having a driver to and from the mountain as you are assigned a hiking guide in the park. It’s not part of the tour and will be a separate fee upon arrival. That being said, we thoroughly enjoyed our day with Brett and would do it again!

Amazing experience hiking Gros Piton - Our overall experience was incredible! The hike was definitely challenging but worth it. The views were stunning, and the guide was excellent. Our tour driver was fantastic too! He stopped at the Mud Baths on the way back. He was incredibly accommodating and professional. Highly recommend the experience!

Gros Piton hike - The accomplishment felt good! The last 1/4 to the top was the most beautiful and rewarding! Take the suggested amount of water, I needed all of it! Go early, clouds are good!

Best tour and taxi in St Lucia - Favorite part was our tour guide and new friend Durand. He knew exactly what we liked and even made special effort for us when we had special requests. We used them almost exclusively for our visit to St Lucia as we did airport trips, tours around Soufriere and to our resort. Durand knew where the best Cassava and chocolate was 🍫 He even helped us out when we had questions when at the resort and we didn’t use the taxi. He was also very knowledgeable, kind, honest, professional, price was comparable, taxi well maintained and very clean. Made us feel like we have know him forever.

A fun challenging hike - It’s a strenuous hike with beautiful views. A lot of scrambling up rocks, so hiking shoes or trail running shoes are recommended. It took us about 4 hours up and back. Start early (6:30 am) to insure a less crowded/less hot experience. If you have done any hiking before I don’t really feel a guide is necessary, and I believe there were people on the trail without guides. I would do it again.

Check pickup details; the website is deceiving. - So I booked the hike and chose my hotel where I needed to be picked up from the dropdown menu. The morning of the hike I got a text saying they noticed I picked a hotel far away and would have to pay an extra 40$ USD to get picked up from there. Therefore, check this when you book and before the cancellation date. The information about pickup is not clear on the website. I ended up doing a different hike to Pidgeon Island which was half the price of what I paid but was not offered a refund for the difference.

Should have deep dived into the reciew - Our driver was right on time and super nice. In fact he saved the day. So Monday 8 am we had to thru the capital at rush hour, and so took 2.5 hours to get there. Note to self: from Northern hotels schedule pickup after 10 on a weekday. The tour does NOT start at 9, there is no fixed tour and you can show up any time before 2. Second: it is not a hike. It is arduous boulder climbing and we gave up after 15 minutes. Luckily the driver suggested the Tet Paul hike Stairway to Heaven so we dropped in and for $10 got a great tour and easy hike with great views.
