Cosol Tours 12/19/18: LOVED it!

[lindseylu8]

value for money, this was one of the best tours we have ever done. We had such a great tour. This tour is such a great bargain for what was included. I would HIGHLY recommend if you are in St. Lucia. The food was amazing & plentiful, service was top notch. Our guide was "fat man" and he was super knowledgeable & funny. We got to see & do EVERYTHING on the island. Tons of great photo opp stops. Rum punch was so yummy and flowing. Bottled water & soda was included! We learned a lot and had a perfect day. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, drinks, all the sights, volcano, mud bath, waterfall, water taxi, snorkeling and entrance fees included

We did the Cosol tour this past September and it was just amazing but I wouldn't call the speedboat portion to Sugar Beach a water taxi

Sounds great.  How much did it cost?

This tour looks amazing - but I am concerned with motion sickness.  I have read that there are a lot of windy roads and it is easy to get motion sick.  Did you experience this?  Is the van cool - if it's warm, that will make my son's motion sickness worse.  I am thinking if we just take some motion sickness medicine we may be ok.

I don’t suffer from motion sickness usually, but as long as I’m up front looking straight ahead then I am okay. The first time we went with our family of five and another couple in the van I sat in the back and  I was a bit woozie. But we made lots of stops along the way hitch helped. I suggest taking motion sickness medicine and sit up front near a window.

The Drive is beautiful !

I didnt experience any motion sickness. No one on our van had any troubles at all. 

[Ashland]

Definitely have your son take some medication...One gentleman on our tour ended up sitting up front with the driver towards the end of our tour. And do let the driver know...Cosol Tours is very accommodating.

Another vote for the motion sick medication.  I took some and was lucky enough to grab the front seat, so I was okay.  Had I been elsewhere in the van...I'm not sure I would have made it without at least one incident.

Howdy Everyone,

 

The reviews on this tour sound awesome and we are considering it, but have a quick question.  Is this a tour with ample amounts of getting out of the tour bus and experiencing the island (sounds like it)?  Or is there a lot of driving around in the bus with the guide pointing out, there's a tree, there's a bird, etc (I would suspect not)?  Lastly, how many people were in the van?

 

Lindseylu8 --- Love your photos --- If you have more, I would love to see them!

 

Thanks

Tons of stops! We saw so much. They let you out for photo opps and roadside stands if you want to buy something/ get samples. The guide pointed out a lot of cool stuff & gave history & facts. It was a great day!

We used Cosol in 2009 and loved it.

It was $65 pp then, but $75 is nothing for quality of tour (and food, a drinks 🙂 ) they provide.

 

I am thinking about booking with them again. Do you still using this system when you pay after your trip or do you have to prepay?

Our trip this past September we paid after the (amazing) tour.
