“We were promptly met by Tyler, as soon as we exited the port. He had a sign in his hand and a smile on his face welcoming us to St. Lucia. We just walked around the block with him and hopped onto our boat with Alvin as the captain for the day. Tyler was extremely knowledgeable about St. Lucia and Alvin was an expert at navigating us around the island. They took us snorkeling and two different spots. Incredible. The last time I saw such an abundance of different fish was in the red sea. They were able to give us a beach break on one of the most beautiful…”

7.Speedboat and Power Snorkel From Castries

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 29 reviews · from $231

Pilot a 17-foot speedboat from Castries to the Pitons, power snorkel a protected reef, and cruise Marigot Bay in four hours.

“it started well but then the outboard on the 'speedboat' (it's actually a RIB) kept stalling whilst out to sea. The powered snorkelling was hopeless because they kept breaking down. A great trip for scenery and we got back safely but the equipment is quite obviously poorly maintained and when you are going offshore it's somewhat worrying.”
