St Lucia Catamaran Day Sailing and Sightseeing Tour

The catamaran ride on the water was lovely and it’s a great way to explore the island without being stuck in a car. However I found some of the information misleading as it states you can go to the Botanical Gardens, which was never an option. They also state that you will have a buffet lunch at a local restaurant which was not the case as we ate on the boat. It also did not appear that we actually went to Anse Cochon Beach. Snorkeling was decent there. The catamaran is as also very full.

As a solo female traveler to Saint Lucia, this cruise was perfect. The crew were friendly and kind. The buffet lunch was delicious and healthy. It's a beautiful way to see Saint Lucia and experience the sights.

We had a great tour guide, Karen was PHENOMENAL!! Our entire day was filled with laughter, history about the island and great food. I will definitely do it again!!

It was a good day. Well organized. Friendly staff. Good lunch. Recommend to all. Marigo bay is beautiful

The sail was great and Natasha rocks!!! Would have rated it a 5 except that it was difficult coordinating pickup at hotel. We were told to contact the provider when we arrived to give them our hotel room, but when we arrived at 7 pm from the airport, our call went to voice mail. The next morning we called and told that since we did not contact within the required time frame we would have to be rescheduled. After expressing our displeasure we finally were able to get a ride to the boat and all was great. The admin on the front end needs to be tightened up. If you book while you are on the island, you should be okay...bets are off if you are a late arrival.

This was an amazing activity. Friendly crew and beautiful scenery. Well worth the time and moeny. I would recommend this activity.

Overall it was a good experience. The Catamaran was pretty big and didn't feel crowded. It had some age showing though, especially the rope netting at the front. Most of the other catamaran's we saw had a web strapping and ours had a bunch of frayed edges and was a lot of patchwork. Not exactly inspiring confidence. Luckily there was plenty of Rum Punch and Piton beer for courage. The views from the boat were great, especially when we near the South end of the island and the Pitons. It was spectacular. The best part for us was the boat ride and the walk through the gardens. We were lucky to have a very knowledgeable guide, Romaine, who kept us informed. He was fantastic throughout the day in fact. We spent a good amount of time at the gardens, and then got lunch. Lunch was a buffet at that chocolate plantation. The food was good and included grilled chicken and fried fish with lots of sides. I thought the waterfall was sort of a joke and could easily be skipped. It's not a big waterfall by any stretch, and it was literally a line of 100+ people just waiting to stand near it and take pictures. Silly. The mud baths weren't for me either, the water was way too hot for me to want to get in when it was 90+ degrees outside. Other people really seemed to enjoy this though, and it's worth checking out. What should be noted is you don't really see anything like a 'volcano', just some sulfur springs that you drive by (you can't even see them really). We enjoyed the snorkeling but it was a very short amount of time. Maybe 15 minutes before they were trying to get us back to the boat. On the way back the crew played some games with us and then there was lots of music and dancing. Overall a good time. FYI it was over a 9.5 hour trip from the time we were picked up at Sandals Grande to the time we were dropped back off. Just be aware it's a FULL day.

One of the best tours I have ever experienced. Friendly and knowledgeable staff with fantastic food. I definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the beautiful island of SLU

Great day out - picked up on time. The crew are are very safety conscious , really friendly and informative. The trips to various locations all well organised. We did the botanical gardens and volcano trip followed by lunch - which was lovely with good choice of food. The trip back included a swim and snorkelling. Of course rum punch and Pinton beer readily available on board!!!

Overall this is a great trip but the snorkeling isnt great. You have to swim quite a ways to the rocks near the shore to snorkel and there isnt much there to see.
