Not a tour, not reliable, do not recommend
Bottom line: 1. Driver was late, causing us to be rushed all day. 2. Not a tour, just a driver. 3. Did not have time to do all that was promised on the tour. 4. Were not offered the information or drinks promised. 5. Jaycee Tours initially responded to my communications after the fact, but then ghosted me. Details below: This tour was operated by Jaycee Tours. We were at the meeting point at the cruise port 15 minutes in advance of the 9:30am meeting time. I had to call twice to inquire on the status of our guide and was told he was “almost there” both times. By the time our driver arrived, we were already 45 minutes late. He said there was a miscommunication, that "they had the wrong date,” and implied he was called at the last minute to fill in. When I contacted the tour company after the fact, they said the delay was due to weather and traffic. There was a light rain, but there is no reason we shouldn’t have started on time. Make no mistake, this is a hired driver, not a tour. Our driver didn’t even know where we were supposed to be going that day or what was included in the tour. He provided very little information along the way. Also, the vehicle had a problem, and the driver said he needed a part. So the SUV did the entire trip from Soufriere to Castries in a low gear. We feel fortunate to have made it back. If we had just hired a taxi off the ship, we would have started when we wanted and would have been the same level of interaction for maybe a cheaper price. MUD BATHS: The tour descriptions states this is a 1-hour stop. Our guide told us we only had a total of 30 minutes from arriving to leaving, which included parking, tickets, changing, restrooms (after a long drive), and being in the pool for less than 10 minutes. Also, while the tour description specifies a choice between 3 activities, we did not have the opportunity to choose anything other than going to the mud bath. One person in our party did not go in the mud bath and would have preferred the tour. When I contacted Jaycee about this after the fact, they responded with a photo of the sign from the mud baths saying you can only stay IN them for 30 minutes. We were only IN them for less than 10 minutes. WATERFALL: By this point, we didn't have time to go in the waterfall so we just walked to it and took photos and left, which took less than 10 minutes. Because we didn't go in, our driver didn't have to pay our entrance fee, which was included in the price of our tour. SOURFRIERE: We drove to the town of Soufriere to eat lunch. We asked for recommendations for a restaurant and were only told one where our driver dropped us off. He did not take us to the main street or to the market. And he told us we had no more time. OTHER AMENITIES: The tour includes complimentary local beer, water, juice, but we were never offered anything. I did email Jaycee Tours after we returned home. They initially responded, but after I gave more details, they ghosted me. I am writing this review after nearly 4 weeks since my initial communication.

Excellent service and very informative
Jaycee Tours provided a very informative tour from the time we left the north of the island. The driver has a very bubbly personality and kept us very entertained throughout the trip. The packed cooler was a surprise because you dont get that on most tours. there was a variety of very refreshing drinks. Kudos to the Jaycee Tours Team!!!!! We look forward to trying out all of your tours!!! :)
Response from the operator: thank you for your awesome review. We look forward to meeting you guys again. You guys were so much fun. Kudos to a great time! Remember....when we pick you up you are our customers. but when you get on that vehicle you become family! Much love :)

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Soufriere Land Excursion: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gros Islet.
How much does Soufriere Land Excursion cost?
+
Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gros Islet usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Soufriere Land Excursion take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gros Islet is not rushed.
Is Soufriere Land Excursion worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gros Islet, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Soufriere Land Excursion?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Soufriere Land Excursion suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Soufriere Land Excursion?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gros Islet can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gros Islet and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Soufriere Land Excursion start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gros Islet within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Gros Islet?
+
On Outty we rank every Gros Islet experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Good Vibes Tours with Dannyboy & Co. – Private Island Experiences, Private Boat Charter St. Lucia, boat tour to Soufriere. Full day, UVF Airport Transfer 2Way Trip. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Gros Islet?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Gros Islet?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
