Anyone Use Hackshaw's?

[lacruiser]

Based on positive recommendations on this board I've emailed them twice to ask for more information and have yet to hear back. Has anyone else had this experience? Are they just slow to respond or what? Their whale watching trip sounds like fun --

I was trying to book a whale watch trip w/them last month after enjoying one 2 years ago and they replied that they have an exclusive contract w/ Celebrity so they don't book privately.

They have several boats and all are not tied in w/a particular cruise line. They also book with the local hotels and you can join one of those trips. His service is great.

Just as a fyi, I have emailed Chris Hackshaw at the yahoo.com address provided in his post on this thread. I have yet to receive any kind of response. :cool: Will keep you posted!

This must be a sign that I need to clean out my inbox -- I did indeed receive a reply from Chris Hackshaw on 9/17. Hopefully we'll be able to book with them for the day we are in St. Lucia.

 

If you are interested in contacting them, use the yahoo.com address in his post.

Hackshaw Tours is highly recommended as you know. Not sure what is the hold up with them but you can look at other tour companys who may have the same packages they are offering you can checkout ***** I've gone through serenity Travel and tours and never regreated a momment reserving with them while i was on my honeymoon in St. Lucia. There is a Guy name John on the island you can contact as well and he will assist you in getting information from Hackshaw Tours his contact number is 758-450-4525

We have used Chris Hackshaw in both 06 and 05......that is a class operation he runs, and no one would be disappointed with their time on the water with his staff.

Late.. but better late than never..

 

We had an awesome time - 9 people . We had a fishing charter/whale watching tour. We saw about 300 dolphins.. KIDS LOVED it.It was a highlight of the trip. No fish but we had an incredible day. Chris has a top notch outfit and crew. He was waiting for us by the dock near the ship.

To our surprise he upgraded our 38' boat to a 50' boat.

 

I would book him in a second !!!

Just got back from the fishing excursion booked through Carnival (August 2nd I believe). $139 pp for 4 hours. It almost got canceled due to high seas. Luckily, the others booked with us were game, so we talked them into taking us anyway. We had 1 hit, saw a lot of dolphins, drank a lot of beer and told a lot of fishing stories. Tons of room for the 6 of us on the boat! Kind of a semi-private excursion, with some fishing thrown in.

 

About what I expected, but I would do it again in a second.
