Challenging hike, but well worth it - The hike was challenging and very fun. My wife and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and wanted to do something active, versus sitting on the beach. The hike definitely got us moving. The hike starts out easy, but then becomes a steep climb through trees and rocks. We had to climb up a series of boulders using 5 ropes! Thomas our guide was the best! He was very encouraging and lots of fun. He gave us a history of the island and his joyful personality kept us moving (with a few breaks mixed in). The views from the top were incredible.

Great Mt Hike - The hike was amazing. Hike started with nice easy climb up and then bordered on intermediate level as you climb up. Beautiful views from the top. Our guide, Thomas, was the best guide we have ever had. He had a plethora of knowledge about the history of the island and about local plants and animals. The only reason we gave five stars was because we couldn't give more.

A fun, quick, and surprisingly intense hike - Absolutely LOVED this hike. It's a quick one, but don't be fooled, it's more intense than any of the excursion brochures or sites make it out to be. Elevation change and steep, rocky terrain, plus mud (it was raining on our hike) made it more challenging than expected. If you're in decent shape and can handle getting a little dirty you'll be golden. Our guide, Thomas, was the best. He gave us history of the area, the island itself, and the mountain. It was a US military installation in the years following WWII, and you pass a few bunkers on the hike. The view from the top is worth it, and I'd do it again were I to return to St. Lucia. Highly recommended!

Thomas is the man! - This hike was very challenging and equally rewarding. It's a short hike, but packs a big punch. You have to use ropes to climb at certain parts, and hands needed near the top. Need at least a minimal level of fitness to enjoy. If you're a regular walker, you'll be fine! Thomas was the star of the show, an amazing guide! Great personality and enthusiasm, and was very knowledgeable about the local plant life and wild life. I was very impressed with his character and overall attitude. Very encouraging and just a cool guy! Also took AMAZING photos. Was comfortable with both iphone and Android and knew how to take pictures better than me.

Thomas the amazing tour guide - This hike is amazing and highly recommend. What made the hike so memorable was our amazing tour guide Thomas. Super nice, great personality, great energy, very patient and very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond with showing us the different types of leaves, scents and what they are used for. If you do go on this hike, definitely ask for Thomas to be your guide. You won't regret it.

Amazing views of the island and a great accomplishment! - My wife and I came to Saint Lucia for our honeymoon and decided to do this tour as we both really enjoy the outdoors and hiking. We decided for an early ascent as the weather would be too hot otherwise and recommend others do the same. You also need at least 2L of water per person as some parts of the trail are exposed to the sun. Our guide was a lovely chap called CJ who clearly knew a lot about the area and history of the mountain. He was very open and friendly and made the more difficult parts of the climb much easier with his positive attitude and words of encouragement. As we finished in ‘record time’ (according to CJ), we were even able to take time to explore the old WW2 bunkers, anti aircraft gun battery and storage warehouses which were incredibly interesting. The climb itself was a mixture of simple ascending pathways, rocky outcrops with plenty of handholds and more challenging open/steep areas which require the use of a rope to safely get up. The summit is well worth it though with amazing views of the island. CJ even helped us take some lovely photos of the two of us. Would recommend this tour to anyone physically able to take it on. The difficult parts are in my opinion, more of a mental barrier than a physical one and CJ did a great job of reminding us of that and keeping us encouraged.

Awesome Mt. Pimard Hike - My husband and I had a great time on this hike. It was definitely a harder hike than I was expecting. It was totally worth it though. The view from the top was incredible. Keyz was an outstanding guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Great personality. He took safety very seriously and was always watching and helping me through the tough parts of the hike. I would recommend this hike and most definitely would ask for Keyz to be your guide.

Nice little hike - Our guide Tom was excellent and the view from the top is really worth the effort and getting up the roped section.

Fun guides and a great experience - Excellent experience! Kymani was our guide and he was super fun and provided so much knowledge about the history where we were at. He also took some fun pictures of us at the top. The group we were in had people with varying fitness levels, but he made everyone feel welcomed and supported during the hike. We did a different hike the day after with another company and (sadly) had a completely opposite experience….with something to compare against, I can absolutely say that this hike, company, and Kymani were fabulous. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Area - Great Guides - The booking and cruise port pickup worked out fine. Unfortunately, it was a rainy day and very slippery so we did not make it all the way to the top. However, Kymani & CJ were great guides. We were able to spend more time talking to them about their lives and the community's. Very, very nice men. With our hike cut short, Kymani even offered to show us around Rodney Bay or escort us back to the port. We had other plans but did enjoy a nice local brew with them before we went back.
