Awesome! - The excursion was excellent and even though we missed our pickup time/location the company made sure we got picked up and back on track for the tour. Amazing staff and great DJ. Had a blast! Highly recommend!

Beautiful, tasty, informative. Personal, laid-back, very nice tour - Simple but still worth it. Interesting place, nice people, wonderful lunch and of course beautiful setting. The complexity of turning cocoa beans into chocolate was the best thing to learn, seeing how it was done hundreds of years ago was actually kind of immersive. We were on a tour of only the 2 of us and the guide, Dalton. When I say simple I mean it seemed cheap afterwards but it was worth it. Thinking back to last week when we were there it was interesting, informative, and I am glad we did it. I consider it well worth the price and time. The chocolate is for sale in the little gift shop and we bought some (SHE really wanted a bit to bring home!)
There was some history, rum, chocolate and great scenery, including an overlook of Soufriere and the little deep-water bay/harbor at the base of the Pitons.
Almost forgot, most of the time was on the boat there and back, and that was great service. Drinks, fun, views of the coast from the sea and an amazing snorkel opportunity just north of Soufriere!

Rum, Chocolate and a day on the water - From ground transport to and from your hotel to the boat the whole day was excellent. The skipper and all of the crew are real friendly and want you to have a good time. We chose the Rum and Chocolate part of the day out and weren’t disappointed, who knew the cocoa pod produced so many different items. If you like time on and in the water you won’t be disappointed. Drinks included beers, rum punch, soft drink all for you.

Great time - We had a great time on this excursion. The staff was great. There was a mixup with the hotel pickup but Sea Spray promptly fixed the issue with no problem. The rum and chocolate tasting was both educational and tasty. We had no clue of the process of making chocolate. The rum wad great too. Jonathan our guide was perfect! It felt like we had the whole plantation to ourselves. First time I had sugar cane and juice from sugar cane. This was a great alternative to the mud baths and volcano tour. Thanks Sea Spray for a great day!

Fantastic day out! - Amazing trip from start to finish! We did the rum and chocolate tour.
The boat was big, comfortable and with it being a catamaran it was a smooth journey. It took about an hour and a half to get to soufrese. We had explanation of the landmarks and the hotels along the coastline on the way down.
We were able to see all the quaint towns on the hillsides and the pitons from the water which were stunning.
The rum and chocolate tour was so worth the money. We were able to explore the plantation with a guide, he explained all the crops and plants they grow for produce, medicinal purposes and also the history behind them all. They were able to show us the process of how they process cocoa from the plant right up until the grinding of the beans ready for transporting to make chocolate. We were able to taste the cocoa in its rawest form, straight from the tree and then taste the chocolate at the end of the tour too. There was a buffet meal included which was great! We even got coconut fritters WB I are our favourite!
After lunch we were able to sample the rums and they were paired with the different flavours of chocolate. There is not getting away from sampling the island delicacy of the 80% proof rum!
An important thing to note is that they didn’t renege from any details of St Lucia’s history. They were open and honest about how plantations used slaves and what they were expected to do which I haven’t always seen on other tours as it has almost been a taboo subject.
Once we were back on the boat the rum punch was flowing and the music was playing and it was perfect as we saw the beautiful coastline on the way back to Rodney bay!
Well worth the day and loved every part of the tour!
Thanks to the team!

the perfect alternative to the hot mud! - This was an excellent alternative to joining a boatful of people in the mud baths in noonday heat. We were the only ones on the boat who chose this option, so we were picked up by a taxi driver (vs the bus) and had a private tour and chocolate tatsting. Our tour guide Jonathan was excellent. Highly recommend! The boat/snorkeling, etc was also a lot of fun. We were happy to have our own snorkeling gear which included flippers (the tour does not). Another note: while simple, the luncheon was plentiful and delicious! Do bring plenty of sunscreen and binoculars would have been nice actually. We saw some flying fish- and a sea turtle while snorkeling! Another note- the locals all go to the mud baths at night when it is cooler and less crowded. Do the chocolate and rum instead and visit the baths some evening!
