Direct transportation to the Pitons

[Browezilla]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to find a trip that will take me from Castries to the Pitons and/or Anse Chastanet wth minimal site seeing along the way as I've been along this route multiple times. What I would like to do is:

1. Go to the beach between the Pitons (and snorkel as well)
   
2. From there by road or water taxi, also go to Anse Chastanet for snorkeling
   
3. Optionally go to Anse Cochon to see the black sand beach
   

Either a boat (preferred) or a taxi trip/tour to the Pitons is fine. Again, I don't want the full tour, but mostly want point to point transportation from Castries to the Pitons and/or Anse Chastanet? I'd appreciate your advice on who might be able to help us with this.

 

Thanks in advance.

Try contacting Martis of Phillip Tours, we used him for an island tour and he was great. He might be able to accomodate you www.philliptoursstlucia.com

From what I'm finding, it does seem that a taxi-based trip to Jalousie and Anse Chastanet is the most economical.

After a lot of searching, I finally found a tour on St. Lucia that is all water based if any of you are looking for this. They hit all of the SW highlights. From their web site: "...Coral Gardens, Anse Chastanet, Jalousie and Anse Cochon, including the wreck of the Lesleen M, a 165' freighter which lies there". Chastanet and Cochon have black sand beaches and Jalousie is the beach between the Pitons.

 

On top of that, they will pickup you up shipside in Castries at 8am (or later if you choose) and have you back 6 hours later. The price is $65pp and will go down depending on the number of people you have.

 

The contact email is aimablec@candw.lc and their website is http://www.mysticmantours.com/ (on the left click tours then snorkeling tours). Tell her the 9/20 tour group referred you. She'll be happy they are started to pickup more cruise passengers :-)
