Private St. Lucia Soufriere Boat: Unforgettable Pitons Tour

My wife and i had an amazing tour with Israel King. My wife said it was the day of her lifetime. We did the private tour on a speed boat that took us all along the southern coast of St. Lucia. We were on a Caribbean cruise and I booked us this wonderful tour. The whole process from booking to pick up and drop off, from cruising the southern coast of Saint Lucia to the mud bath and waterfall, and from swimming to snorkeling was flawless and impeccable. Karen who helped me book the tour was amazing and very professional and extremely helpful. Jerome and Jean Pierre our tour guides were amazing and wonderful. Very accommodating, very helpful, very professional, and very kind. We enjoyed their company and loved our conversations and dialogues with them. Simply put, we had a wonderful time with them. They suggested great places to see, stunning beaches to swim, and good places to snorkel. We were not to lucky to see a lot of fish that day but the day was sunny and charming. the water was so refreshing and one couldn't wait to jump in and swim. Jerome , Jean Pierre thank you for making our day so memorable. You made us fall in love with Saint Lucia and we cant wait to go back and do the same tour again and with you. (George & Joelle)

Jeramiah and Titan were amazing guides and helped make a fabulous day. They were completely helpful in suggesting itinerary changes that were steered more towards what we were looking for. They got us very close to the caves. Provides a lot of information on at Lucia. It was a fantastic day. The boat is not very plush. But we knew that going in and a great price of a private charter

My husband and I had a phenomenal time on our boat cruise on the Israel King with Titus and Jeremiah! Hands down the highlight of our first trip to St Lucia - truly a MUST DO!! Seamless pickup experience in Castries and a beautiful day exploring the coastline and Pitons down to Sugar Beach. We did a boat / snorkel / beach type of tour for our preferences, and stopped to eat in Soufriere. I cannot say enough good things about this company. Excellent communication beforehand with Karen, and super super friendly staff on the boat. THANK YOU Israel King for an experience of a lifetime! If you are considering booking, just do it. You will not be let down!!

Titus and Jeremiah were great! Truly catered our experience to what we wanted and were very knowledgeable and informative of the island and its history. I don’t think I held an empty rum punch or beer in my hand for more than 30 seconds the whole day, their service is top notch. Would strongly recommend and will use them again the next time we are in St. Lucia!

My partner and I booked the private tour for 2 people and were really looking forward to it. We paid $415 plus a $60 fuel charge so about $475. We got picked up at 10am and dropped off around 4:30pm. The boat itself was not very nice. We were on the orange boat not the one photographed and it's pretty much a canoe with plaster on the inside and an engine. You can't get comfortable. You pretty much are just sitting on a mildly cushioned bench with no back for the entire day. We were already staying in Soufriere so we were not interested in doing any of the land activities mentioned. Unless you are snorkeling, every other part of the tour costs additional money. We had a great time, but in my honest opinion it was not worth the money we paid for it. You're definitely paying a pretty penny for a sub-par experience. We live in Florida and we can rent a much nicer boat in Fort Lauderdale for a similar price. If you book excursions online through TripAdvisor, Booking.com, etc. or through your hotel, you are getting up-charged more than you would in the United States. You're better off not booking anything prior and finding a better deal when you get to St Lucia.

We booked this company based off the reviews and wanting to have a private experience, we have to say that they were amazing and we could not recommend them more. We had Titus and his nephew out with us and they curated the entire day to what we wanted to do. We stayed on the water the entire trip as we wanted to maximize water and snorkeling activities. They showed us the island and took us to all the best snorkeling spots. We absolutely loved the trip and would 100% recommend them, Titus and his nephew made sure that we had a great time from start to finish and they were great guys! If you are thinking about it or trying to decide a private vs a group tour this is the only way to go as you are on your own time and they make sure that you have the best trip possible. We look forward to using them again!

This was very easily a 5 out of 5, and honestly, I'd give it a 6 if possible. Titus and Comie ( not sure of that spelling) made sure we did exactly what our group wanted. They were so very welcoming, and provided our ideal snorkeling adventure with 4 stops during our almost 7 hour trip. They offered drinks regularly and we're terrific hosts. Every member of my family of 8 loved virtually every minute of this trip with Israel King. We would all highly recommend these terrific guys. You will not be disappointed. And seeing st Lucia from the coast was a real treat. What a gorgeous island home. You will not regret this booking.

Excellent tour. Worth it! Captain took his time and allowed us to plan our own day while giving us suggestions. We could stay at each stop as long as we wanted. Very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. Complimentary drinks on board all day also. We could connect and play our own music. Everything was great 10/10

The private tour was amazing. The guys Jeremiah and Titus were amazing!!! They did a great job showing and teaching us about their island and culture. The food was really good as well.

If you do one thing in St Lucia, make it a day out with Israel King Water Taxi. From the first email, communication was clear and easy. We asked for something bespoke (mainly snorkelling with a few unique stops) and opted for the larger boat. Yes, it costs a little more, but the comfort, space, and smooth ride made it 100% the right choice. Our captain, Titus, and his shipmate Cummie were outstanding. Warm, welcoming and knowledgeable, they shared stories and history as we cruised south, from old rum and banana trade routes to film set trivia and hidden coves. I thought I’d seen the Pitons from every angle by car, but nothing compares to that view from the sea. We stopped at four snorkelling spots and beaches: Anse Mamin, Anse Chastanet, Sugar Beach, plus a couple of off-shore reefs. The snorkelling was excellent, colourful coral, plenty of fish, and although we missed turtles on the day, we returned to one of their tips later in the week and had the unforgettable experience of one swimming past us. The boat also provided a freshly cooked local meal (delicious) and the best rum punch we tasted in Saint Lucia. If the boss reads this: please share that recipe, I’d love to relive it back in the UK! Special thanks to Titus and Cummie for making the day so memorable. Professional, fun and genuinely proud to share their island, you can’t ask for more.
