Chocolate, Tours and Shopping - Our day in St. Lucia was nothing short of magical. We explored the island’s breathtaking landscapes, from lush rainforests to stunning coastal views. The highlight of the day was making our own delicious Cacoa chocolate bars, a true treat for the senses. Afterward, we enjoyed a delightful dessert at Cacoa, savoring sweet indulgence with a panoramic view. The day ended with a relaxing shopping spree at the duty-free stores, finding unique souvenirs to remember this unforgettable experience.

Fun day in St Lucia - This was an amazing experience for my wife and me on our honeymoon. The chocolate making was loads of fun, and the rafting experience with Curtis was beautiful, and very personal. The driver showed up to the resort on time and made sure we were taken care of the whole day. Highly recommended.

A fun and unique adventure! - This was one of the best excursions we’ve been on. The transportation from our hotel was timely. Evans, the driver, was informative as well as charming. The van was air conditioned and very comfortable. Our first stop was the Chocolate factory where we learned the process of making fine chocolate . You can even create your own chocolate bar. There are exquisite candies you can purchase after the tour. Our next stop was a rum tasting with a beautiful view of the mountains and Caribbean Sea. The final destination was the bamboo rafting trip. What a beautiful and unique experience! Our guide, Dr. Love, provided us with lots of tidbits about the local flora and fauna. If you are looking for a unique adventure this is the trip for you. The customer service was excellent from all of the people we encountered.

Felt like family - Everything was GREAT! We went for my girlfriend’s birthday and everyone on this tour made her feel special!
Our driver Nick, was the best. Patient, caring, and exceeded expectations.
The river tour guide Ahmed, was great as well. Very wise and very passionate .
The rum flavor we liked the most was the one with the lime. I cant recall the name but everything was perfect. We felt so included as if we were family the whole day! Thank you.

One of the best excursions !! - If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure in Saint Lucia, the Bamboo Rafting & Cacao Chocolate-Making Experience is an absolute must! This excursion is the perfect blend of relaxation, culture, and hands-on fun, offering a true taste of the island’s rich heritage.
Drifting down the serene river on a handcrafted bamboo raft was pure magic. The lush tropical scenery, soothing sounds of nature, and gentle sway of the raft made for the most peaceful and picturesque ride. Our guide (can’t remember his name) was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the island’s history, flora, and fauna while ensuring we had the most relaxing time.
The chocolate-making experience was a highlight! We got to learn about the traditional process of turning raw cacao into rich, velvety chocolate. We even crafted our own chocolate treats, every step was hands-on and so much fun. Plus, tasting the freshly made, organic chocolate was nothing short of divine!
This experience truly captures the heart and soul of Saint Lucia. Whether you’re a nature lover, a foodie, or just looking for something unique and immersive, this excursion is worth every penny. I would 100% do it again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the island!

5 stars for Steven! Great excursion! Highly recommend! - We booked a chocolate tasting, bamboo rafting and rum tasting excursion with Steven. The chocolate tasting was a bit of a drive from the port but Steven used the time to educate us on our surroundings, give us a little local history and share some things he loves about the areas and it went by quickly! Both the chocolate tasting and rum tasting were fantastic! The rafting was rained out, so instead, Steven took us to a little local restaurant on the beach that was fantastic! He also provided us a little souvenir shopping time. He truly made it feel like we were hanging out with an old friend! We highly recommend him for any excursion in St Lucia! If/when we come back, he will be our first call!

100% would recommend - Uncle Steve was great!! This was our 2nd excursion with Steve and it didn't disappoint. From the laughs in the car to the actual activities...was one of the best we have been on. The rum distillery wasn't open unexpectedly but that didn't stop Steven from taking us to a different place and the locals providing the rum which kept us going!! Would 100% recommend booking with Steve for any excursion as he has made our trips jam packed with memories that we would never forget. As 2 young women going out and about in St Lucia, Steve always made us feel extremely safe wherever we went and whatever we did and the car journeys alone were always full of great stops, view points and great music with alot of knowledge about the local culture.
Just as a bonus, if he didn't have a particular excursion for himself, he gave us recommendations and would arrange this for us according to what we wanted to do so if I could give this guy 100/10 I would!!!
Thank you for another great fun filled day and we are looking forward to coming back again!! 😀

Chocolate really good - rum tasting okay... - The Chocolate experience was fantastic. The rum tasting was okay - not the fault of the tour guides - it's just that - you taste the rum. I thought it would be a bit more involved. We were not able to do the bamboo rafting due to the weather. Zaid was very nice. I think if we were able to do the rafting it would have been a better experience. It was mostly driving.

Rain stops play - I would like to give this a higher star rating but due to circumstances beyond everyone's control we weren't able to complete the experience.
We had contact from the organiser keeping us informed throughout. The driver arrived at the port at the alloted time, he was friendly and helpful. The vehicle was air-conditioned and comfy.
The chocolate factory was informative, although a bit scripted, the staff need to be a bit more informal and to bear in mind dialect understanding issues. We made a chocolate bar each which we took with us.
The rafting was cancelled after the visit to the chocolate factory due to heavy rain the previous day resulting in the river being too dangerous to raft. To his credit the organiser was going to upgrade the rum distillery visit to a full tour but we declined as we had done a similar tour before.
The organiser then refunded us the cancelled rafting fees within a couple of days with no issues.
We would have loved to have done the rafting and I'm sure the rating would have been higher then, but you can't control the weather and they put our safety first.
