Wonderful custom tour experience!
I have used StLucia Taxi and Tours several times over the last few years. I have done two private tours and both were excellent. I booked custom because i could not find exactly what i wanted to do. I had a specific list of places i wanted to visit, and no pre-set tour seemed to fit. I wanted Tet Paul walk, the Botanical Gardens and Diamond Waterfall, and a quick look at Pitons.Custom was so much more personal, and cost effective. Our driver guides were professional, timely, and kept us on track. I have also used them for clients over the last few years as well. Every one comes back happy!

The best of st lucia
Herman was an excellent guide! We told him the things that were most important to us. He customized our trip on the fly. And it couldn't have been more perfect! We stopped at a local place that had many different types of rum. It was very reasonably priced to try as many flavors as we wanted! We went to the drive in volcano and did the mud baths. He was there with us the entire time taking photos for us. Then he took us to the piton falls that are less visited. The water was perfect and such a beautiful easy to access waterfall! And along the way he made stops for scenic views and told us about the island. We highly recommend booking a trip with Herman!!

Great Island Tour
Great island tour! You get to plan your itinerary around what you want to do and get recommendations aswell. Smooth running day from start to finish, we got picked up from Rodney Bay and taken along varies stop along the way & finished off in Soufriere having lunch near the Pitons. Would highly recommend this, great value for money and worth it. Also cool box with beers and water was a massive thumbs up.

Scenic Views
We did the 6-hour tour. Pick up was at 8:30am. It took about 2 hours to get to the south side with the morning rush hour traffic. The south part of the island has most of the excursions, such as ATV, zipping, chocolate factory, and waterfalls. We were able to visit the Toraille Waterfall, stop to see views of the Pitons, stop at a cocoa plantation, and then have lunch at the Mango Tree Restaurant. Then we drove about 1 1/2 hours back to the Windjammer. The roads are very winding, so not good for anyone who gets carsick. There were plenty of opportunities to buy souvenirs along the way and nice scenic areas to take pictures.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
St Lucia Customize Private Island Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Choc.
How much does St Lucia Customize Private Island Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $125 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Choc usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does St Lucia Customize Private Island Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Choc is not rushed.
Is St Lucia Customize Private Island Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 691 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Choc, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule St Lucia Customize Private Island Tour?
+
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 St Lucia Customize Private Island Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book St Lucia Customize Private Island Tour?
+
Around 242 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 Choc 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 Choc and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does St Lucia Customize Private Island Tour 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 Choc 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 Choc?
+
On Outty we rank every Choc experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include St Lucia Diamond Mineral and Mud Baths Plus Waterfall Adventure, Rainforest Hike and Waterfall Safari, Sea and Land Tour in St. Lucia. 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 Choc?
+
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 Choc?
+
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.
