Paulina K2024-11-27Verified Trip of a Lifetime My husband and I travelled for the first time to St Lucia with our kids and wanted to an excursion to explore and see the island. Prior to leaving, we looked into options and thought a land and sea tour would be a perfect fit, but we only looked into options with the resort. Shortly after we arrived at our resort, we met Jack Sparrow on the beach and he introduced us to the private tours offered through Grasshopper tours and we felt that the experience would be so much more personalized than what the resort offered. He was absolutely right there!! We were fortunate enough to have Jimmy as our guide for our first excursion - the land and sea tour. Jimmy not only got us there safely but spent the time telling us all about the island, stopping at multiple points of interest and even acted as our cameraman. We did the hot springs/mud bath, waterfall, had lunch at a delicious buffet (my daughter is so picky with most foods and she couldn’t get enough of the chicken - so this speaks highly!!!) and then took a boat ride to beautiful sugar beach. We were shocked at the stunning views and have rarely before experienced such beautiful scenery. We did some incredible snorkeling at sugar beach and were told we could spend as much time as we wanted enjoying the beach. I felt that we even overstayed a little bit and we asked Jimmy to tell us a time to leave but he told us it was up to us. We never for one moment felt pressured or rushed. By the end of the trip, we considered Jimmy a friend and felt so fortunate to cross paths. We loved the tour so much we decided to book a second trip for another day to spend the entire day just at sugar beach. On the day we were to go, the weather didn’t look great but we were committed to the trip and decided we would make the most of it. Our driver, Lyndon, arrived ahead of schedule and said he wanted to talk with us because he felt that the weather wasn’t the greatest and that our experience might not be the best. He suggested that we may have a better day the following day. We never once even imagined asking him to reschedule, especially coming all that way just to pick us up and we couldn’t believe this kindness and flexibility. We agreed to reschedule for the following day and again, Lyndon showed up ahead of time and ready to go. He was extremely friendly, personable, and again instantly we felt we had made a good friend. He arranged transfer to us right down to sugar beach, when that can usually be tricky access. We enjoyed another INCREDIBLE day with our family and made memories to last a lifetime. These tours for us were more than just a day trip and created experiences that allowed our family to bond more closely and make the most of our time and we will forever be grateful to Jimmy, Lyndon, and Jack Sparrow for making that happen. We will most certainly be back to St. Lucia and our first stop will be that Grasshopper booth on the beach! Steph B2024-11-26Verified LAND AND SEA TOUR We met Jack Sparrow on the beach at Coconut Bay who told us of his excursion through fishing villages and to Sugar Beach. We booked this tour and could not have been more happy with it. Our tour guide, Jimmy, made the whole experience unforgettable. He had very fun facts and stories and he took us through the island. It was a very fun day. I would recommend going on this tour to anyone visiting the island. And I highly recommend Jimmy as your tour guide! Colby W2024-11-25Verified Amazing Land and Sea Tour! Lyndon was an amazing tour guide, highly recommend. We did the land and sea tour. Started with the mud bathes, which was very cool. After that the water fall, which was beautiful and then Sugar Beach nestled at the base of the Piton with breathtaking views. We hit the Chocolat on the way back which was a really cool spot PeterBurgh2024-11-14Verified Grashoppe Tours the best !! Met Captain Jack at Coconut Bay beach. He advised Land & Sea tour which was absolutely amazing !! Private tour with our family, ac van, lucnch and beautiful spots. Highlight was snorkeling at Sugar Beach between the pitons. Our driver Jimmy was the best guide you can imagine. Highly recommended !!! Elaine S2024-11-10Verified 3 great trips We had 3 great trips with Grasshopper Tours. We were lucky enough to have Jimmy as our driver and guide for all 3 trips. Jimmy is a great person and excellent driver.As a family of 5 Jack was very helpful in tailoring trips to suit our needs.We have no reservations in recommending Grasshopper Tours to anyone looking for a really great, flexible company to book tours with when holidaying in St Lucia. They certainly seem to be more flexible and cost effective than trips the hotels offer. Mateusz Brzuchacz2024-11-08Verified St. Lucia - Coconut Bay: An unforgettable journey with Grasshopper! They took us to all the must-see spots—and beyond. Thank you This tour was absolutely fantastic! We traveled with three young kids (ages 6, 7, and 9), and they had an unforgettable time. Lindon took us to two beautiful waterfalls, a rejuvenating mud bath, and a restaurant with breathtaking views of Sugar Bay and the Pitons. The trip included an exciting water taxi ride to Sugar Bay, where we snorkeled and relaxed on the beach. We even made a fun stop at a chocolate factory! The car was spotless, with refreshing drinks in the back. Highly recommended for anyone looking to make amazing memories! mwarlick2024-11-04Verified St. Lucia Island south/west side tour Definitely worth it. We found a stand on the beach at Coconut Bay where Jack Sparrow can set you up with a island tour. It was just as described. You've got a dedicated driver/tour guide (Jay was awesome) for the day. Mud bath, waterfall, authentic Creole lunch (very good), and a water taxi to Sugar Beach to snorkel and hang out. And the view between the Pitons at Sugar Beach was fantastic. RoxanneMussa2024-11-02Verified Grasshopper Tours The adventure’s started with “Jack Sparrow” on the beach by Coconut Bay Resort and Spa. Jimmy The driver/tour guide) turned up on time, every time. Jimmy was amazing and shared any history he knew about St Lucia. Nothing was too difficult for him. We had a great laugh too. The prices were the most reasonable and would recommend them.Roxanne Mussa shona k2024-08-30Verified Well worth it Jack Sparrow! You'll find him on the beach at coconut bay. We chose Grasshopper Tours as they can cater a tour to your requirements and you're not having to stick to a strict schedule. We were picked up by Jimmy in an air con van which also had drinks on board. The moment we left Coconut Bay, Jimmy was already giving us information about the area which was very interesting. We went to the mud bath but my daughter had changed her mind about doing it as she was unwell, and Jimmy didn't push us to continue, instead he offered us an alternative and we went to visit the waterfall. We then continued the day, stopping at land marks, lunch, snorkelling, sugar beach and pit stop at Hotel Chocolat. A good day had by all and well worth the money. Thank you. Sumana p2024-08-19Verified St Lucia Land and Sea experience We booked the Land and Sea experience via Grasshopper Tours through Jack who had a stand on Coconut Bay beach, and the trip was just as he described. Travelling with two children under the age of 12 we wanted to have more of a bespoke Land and Sea trip and have the ability to stop off at points of interest rather than take a trip with a group where there would have been limited time to stop / take pictures / experience local life. The day started with pick up at 9am from the hotel with a lovely driver, Jenius who came in an air con van with a cooler box of soft drinks and Piton beer. He was not just a taxi driver but also acted as a tour guide and walked us through each of the towns and their significant to the island eg where the farmers lived, areas with the British first came, background to the Pitons and history of eruptions etc . After stops off at viewing points and spots where he saw mango trees and cacao trees (and yes Jenius even picked a pod from a trees and opened it up so we could see and taste the inside), we went headed to Soufriere and drove through the volcano, took a dip in the sulphur pool and got to cover ourselves with the white and black mud. Never experienced anything like this! Was incredible. Jenius also helped with some artistic body design with the mud. We then headed to the Toraille waterfall and got to go inside the invigorating water!After this half morning activity we stopped for lunch at a lovely local restaurant with a wonderful view of the Beach. The sea part of the trip was equally as exciting. After lunch we headed to a jetty and took a boat to Sugar Beach for snorkelling and to hang out on yeh beach until the kids were ready to leave! Yep the beauty of the trip was that we controlled the timing. Ended up leaving at 4.30pm ish. And took a drive back to the hotel arriving in time for dinner. Thank you for making our experience of St Lucia so exciting. We learned so much courtesy of Jenius and the service you provided with the lunch organised, water taxi booked to take us to Sugar Beach and the stop offs including our request to stop to get gifts was always provided with a smile. This will be a trip we will remember and cherish!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
