Additional Information

It’s simply a matter of trekking 4 miles through the forest-laden emblem of Saint Lucia - namely, along a serpentine path that ascends the steep, tropical rainforest gradients of a volcanic peak standing at 2,619 feet. Intermittently, the foliage parts to unveil stunning panoramas of the verdant island and the strikingly azure sea of the Caribbean. Procuring a guide is obligatory, yet they are a fount of insight. The caverns once served as havens for insurgent fighters during the Brigand war, flamboyant avian species, and luxuriant flora that features immense gommiers (crafted into canoes), the diminutive swizzlestick tree (from which cocktail stirrers are fashioned) and ‘peeling tourists’ - trees with fissured brown rinds that eerily resemble the appearance of someone who has dozed off under the sun’s rays without protective sunscreen.

Positive vibes only! - Steven our driver and tour guide definitely brought the positive vibes to the trip. Detailed history and information on the way that was fun and interesting. The hike itself was hard but very rewarding up top. Pickup and drop off at the correct time and communication was perfect. Thank you for a safe journey and day out up in the mountains.

Tough hike but worth it - The hike was tough and only my oldest son and I made it to the top. My wife and 18 year old finished at the halfway point. Take plenty of water and some Gatorade. Lloyd the Good Vibes guide was outstanding and we really enjoyed him showing us around the island. Can’t recommend him enough. I’ll do it once but not twice although I’d tour with Lloyd around the island anytime.

Good Vibes Only tours really live up to their name!! - “Good Vibes Only” tours really lived up to their name! Danny Boy was so positive and friendly and his good vibes were infectious! He is hilarious and entertained us on the drive to the Pitons with so much information about St Lucia! He was like an encyclopedia!! Once we got to the hike, Al was our hiking guide. He was so kind and stayed with us the whole time making sure we were doing ok! He took us to both summits, the one in the front and one in the back! Most tour companies only take you to the front summit, but the back summit was actually our favorite! We were able to get a beautiful picture of us with the petite piton in the background on the back side summit! We appreciated so much him taking us to both summits! The hike was fairly difficult, I’m not gonna lie, but it was so worth it! I can’t recommend Good vibes only tours and Danny Boy and Al enough, they made the experience one of a kind!

Good Vibes Only - Book with Danny Boy for ALL of your needs because he will take care of you!! Great customer service and Danny will make sure you’re comfortable! I went on the Gros Piton hike and it was definitely a challenge but with the adequate breakfast and water you should be fine! Whitney and Ron are the best guides!

More challenging than I thought - First off we were staying Marigot bay just for reference. Our driver from there to the piton was great. Very personable and informative of the island. Everything you would want from a driver. It took an hour and some change to get to the base of the island. My fiance is an experienced hiker where I’m a novice it was first time ever. The guide we were with was patient and helpful. IT IS A VERY DIFFICULT HIKE. I only made it a quarter up and my fiance halfway up. It only gets steeper and rockier the further you go up. Even so the views were worth it and I don’t regret the experience.

Says will get your approval if it’s private but… - Booked this trip looking for a half day excursion but we’re gone for about 8 hours. Overall the ride to and from was fine the hike (we stopped half way 1 hour up 1 hour down) was more of a rock climb but we enjoyed our time. The tour says it will contact you for approval if your transport isn’t private — we never were contacted and arrived to others in our car. That all would have been fine except since we only did half the hike we had to wait at the park for 3 hours for others to finish which completely ruined the experience.
