Recommended Posts

Hi - In all our years of cruising we have never been to St Lucia! We booked the Celebrity Edge for this reason πŸ™‚Β We are in our 50's and are fairly active - thinking of a private tour so we can see the Island and spend a bit of time at a beach.

Without knowing the island:

1) is this possibleΒ Β 

2) Anyone have recommendations for a private excursionΒ Β 

3) Any must see/do while one the island

Β 

Thanks

Yes ma'am Baptiste and Herod, Baptiste is the best tour guide on St. Lucia I had a BLAST with this guy twice. First timers on the island Cosol is the only way to go. Make sure Baptiste is your driver, I rode shotgun all day long drinking Caribes all day long it was one of the highlights of my vacation. πŸ‘πŸ‘

BTW our CC group in December 2011 we had 5 vans with Cosol, 4 full of people 1 van was a rolling bar, nothing but everything to drink unlimited bar. It was Killer!! When I finished drinking a Caribe Baptiste handed me 2 more. Drove to the falls and mud bath thingy up in the rainforest. Tons of people in the middle of a rainforest sun's out pouring the rain?πŸ€”πŸ˜‚. Ice cold beers all day longπŸ‘πŸ‘

Stayed wet the entire tour it was GREAT. There's no way whatsoever to stay dry in a rainforest. πŸ™‚.Β
