We were very disapointed with St Lu Taxi and Tours indeed. We had booked a Private Gros Piton Hike prior to departing on our holiday.
The booking process was an easy exchange of emails, so a tick in that box.
From reading the discription I believed I was booking and inclusive tour that would take us from our hotel to Gros Piton where we would be given a private guide who would led us to the top of the Piton. I was wrong it would seem, in spite of all of the correspndence I recieved indicating that my assumption was correct.
We were collected from our hotel on time, the drive was very nice and provided us with a great trip to the Piton and a guide to everything that we passed on the way. Another tick in the box.
On arrival at the piton we were informed that the despit already having paid $304 USD this did not include the fee for being guided up the mountain. Another $50 USD per person was required for the two guides we would need. I retrieved my paperwork and showed the staff at the Piton that I had already paid, they said this was not the case. They kindly offered to speak to St Lu Taxi and Tours to straighten things out. This they duly did, as a result of the conversation I was handed the phone and spoke with Sammy the propriotor of ST LKu Taxi and Tours. I was told by him that what I had paid was not for a private tour but effectively a $304 taxi ride and it was in the "terms and conditions of my confirmation. It was clear to me after a few minutes that I was banging my head on a wall. The conversation was abruptly ended. We paid the additional $50 USD as we had come a long way to do the hike.
We duly got to the top and back down. Whereupon I re read all of the correspondence I had been sent and no where on there was it clear that I was expected to fund the hike.
If like me your read "a private Gros Piton Hike in St Lucia" as just that and not as a taxi ride then additional payment for the hike you are at best being mislead and at worse having the wool pulled over your eyes.
The way in which St Lu Taxi and Tours handled me on the phone was appaling.
I would not recommend booking an tour with this company.

People book on just title but do not read the details and what is included and not included in what they are booking hence the reason it is all listed in the writeup of the bookings. Then they will say that they did not know what was included and not included such as tickes for entrance fees.

First, while researching all these Gros Piton hike trips, I found out that all of them required you to pay the entrance fee for the national park separately - that got you a 'guide' - so in effect paying for this trip got you a lift to and from the start point of the walk. The drive waited for you so you were paying for a driver for the day.
However, the walk itself took us five hours and the drive to the start and back weas an hour and a half each way, so this was absolutely necessary. You could hire a car but there was no way I would have wanted to or been able to drive afterwards, and Im sure there was some organizing needing to be done to get our private guide.
Plus, our driver Jason was very friendly and funny, told us a lot about the island while driving us there and we had a comfortable air conditioned vehicle to get there and back with no worries about getting lost.
Yes you could probably get a bus but it made everything so much easier booking through this company and I would recommend it to anyone. .

We had an incredible tour! Bucket list worthy! This is a challenging hike, but well worth it. I didn’t realize the tour didn’t include the entrance fee, so just be mindful of that and it is far from the port (about a 2 hour ride). So it’s best to allow PLENTY of time. You can also rent walking sticks for $5 (Definitely worth it) Our driver was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly and an amazing navigator! We were pressed for time and she did an amazing job getting us back to the port in time. We made it back to the ship with other cruisers cheering us on from their balconies. I want to give a special thanks to her!!

Hiking the Pitons - “Unfinished Business”
This review is at the request of Ada McGlone Lester.
We booked a private tour through St. Lu Taxis and Tours. Upon exiting the ship promptly at 9:30am, we made our way to the taxi area where our driver Richard had a sign with our last name. We quickly found his van and off we went. The drive is around 1 hour and 45 minutes. Inasmuch as we watched YouTube videos to be adequately prepared, a time constraint was not one of the pre-excursion factors. Richard, who was born on St. Lucia, but also served in the US Army, was full of information on the island as well as the surrounding islands. Over our three hours in the van round trip, we learned more about St. Lucia than our prior two visits combined. As a side note, we took the ‘eastern’ route there and ‘western’ route back, which you can see on the maps screenshot I took at the beginning of the trail.
We arrived at the base of the Pitons and were assigned a guide that works for the Foundation. It’s $50 a person to hike and that money is used for everything down to guide uniforms. Of the 3,200+ passengers onboard, a grand total of 6 (including us as 2) attempted to make the climb. This should have been a sign, but being a dumb American this was our DESTINY.
Our Guide Abigail showed us the washroom, made sure we had an adequate amount of water and off we went…
The trail is broken down into 4 quarters, each becoming progressively more difficult as you make the trek. Leaving at 11:22am and having to be back to our van no later than 3:00pm we had 3 hours and 38 minutes to climb the mountain. At this point you fully comprehend what 2 hours up and 2 hours down AT A GOOD PACE really means…
At the first 1/4 stopping point we knew. You slowly start working through the five stages of grief as your body gets worn down, you are sweating more than you are drinking water and the usage of your hands on the rocks increases. But between 1/4 and 1/2 you still have HOPE. And while hope is a powerful thing, it can only take you so far in the game of the Pitons.
After a long hour+ grind we made it to the 1/2 way point were ran into 3 out of 4 of our fellow cruisers. The lone 1 was giving their all to making it to the top. At this point Abigail had to break us the news this was it. Mathematics was not our friend and we could go no further. Nooooo! I tried the stage of bargaining to little reception and slowly worked my brain into the final stage, acceptance. This was it, if we continue, make it to the top, hopefully, and miss the ship all aboard time. Nooooo!
After a few pictures with a stunning view, back down we started… Now going down has its own set of challenges, but we made it with one break.
Once we said our goodbye's to our trusted guide, we named this adventure “unfinished business” as we will be returning to complete the task. Richard got us back to our ship and after a second set of goodbye’s and a thank you for his service to our Country we hit a couple shops and back on the ship. Upon arriving to our cabin, our incredible Head Butler AG had a much needed cheese plate waiting. Sometimes it really pays to share your upcoming plans.
This is being written at the Martini Bar before we give Fine Cut on The Beyond a try. Another food review to come later… Cheers from The Beyond where the score is Pitons: 1 Us: 0.
Safe travels…

This company is a SCAM. They charged me for a private tour and hike of the Gros Piton and all they did was drive me there and back. I had to pay for the actual hike in addition. Their driving was very dangerous and we almost got into a crash and fell down a ravene. We thought we were going to die. Also they took pictures of us without consent. I have requested a partial refund and they sent me a letter refusing to do so. I will be suing them, Viator and Trip Advisor for what I consider one of the worst days of our lives.

This specific person has done this maliciously because they requested a refund by saying to tripadvisor/viator that the tour did not take place. And to our defense we had copies of forms they signed at the hiking area in reference to their health and my driver took a photo of them being sick from the driving. This was our evidence we had which caused tripadvisor/viator not to approve their refund. Now they have placed 2 very bad review about our company. I do not know how this was allowed. I do not feel this review should be posted.
Our review do say a lot about our business because they have all been great 5 star reviews except for a few. who always want to try something and did not succeed.

Please be warned there is an entrance fee to gros piton not included in this purchase! We got caught out but luckily had some money on us. The hike itself was absolutely stunning, as you walk through some lovely forest and get some lovely views. It is very steep with big steps and rocks and can be strenuous in places. The tour guide for the hike (not our driver) appeared quite grumpy and most of the time was ahead of us. We cannot fault our taxi driver, he pointed out places of interest along route and was happy to stop along the way for us to take photos. Overall was worth doing 🙂

We are sorry to hear that you were not aware that entrance fees were not included in the price. It is mentioned in there of that the entrance are not included and also it is telling you how much the entrance fees are.
