Dannyboy is the mayor of St. Lucia! - Dannyboy brought even more Good Vibes and magic to one of the most magical places on Earth! We’ll remember him as much as the island.

Great experience despite the rain! - Amazing hike, a must do in St Lucia if you enjoy hiking! Danny boy was a good time! It was a little sad because it was cloudy and raining at the top so we didn’t get any views from the summit but there was a great view of petite piton at the halfway mark.

Must book in St Lucia - Dannyboy & Co is a must if you are traveling to St Lucia! We did the Gros Piton hike, mud bath, and waterfall through them. Our Driver was Lloyd and he was incredible. We highly recommend asking for him if possible! He picked us up early from our resort (an hour and a half away from the hike) and gave us a wonderful history and background of the island and the towns we passed through on our way to Gros Piton. He was a very fun dude and made the long winding trip enjoyable! After our hike he guided us to the mud bath and waterfalls, walking us through how they work and went out of his way to take our pictures and joke with us! As for the hike itself, you are given a guide at the base to hike it with you. These guys are very experienced and are there to help out and answer any questions. Our guide Shem was pretty chill and stayed behind us, helping where needed. THIS HIKE IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. It is challenging but very do-able. Be prepared to climb makeshift large steps and rocks for 2 hours because that is essentially what it was. But the view from up top was INCREDIBLE. You could see half the island and it made every tough moment of the hike worth it. When we were there it was very shaded and with the breeze it provided some relief from the sun and humidity. For anyone up to the challenge, we 100% recommend it, not to mention getting a nice piton beer at end has never been more satisfying : )

An arduous but exhilarating experience - We had a great time. The hike is more of an arduous rock climbing experience. If you are not fit, it may be a rough experience. While a pair of sneakers could work, sturdy hiking boots are definitely recommended. The satisfaction of joining the ranks of the few who have made it all the way to the top is indeed exhilarating. My wife made it to the top. I enjoyed a long chat with the local refreshments server at the 1/4 point stop with a spectacular view.

Do it - We had a great experience. The driver Lloyd was amazing and made the drive to and from the park a part of the tour. He stopped at fun roadside eating places for my wife and had great stories. The hike guide Margaret was amazing. She holds a comfortable pace and is such a pleasure to talk with. The Piton is beautiful and the hike is hard but definitely doable for active healthy people. I would recommend this group.

Worth every penny with Dannyboy and his PhD! - Dannyboy was brilliant! Amazing local knowledge of St Lucia and very open about everything, even where we could ask him about his wife and very impressive scar. It was worth every penny as we came from a cruise and had time to do it and be back in time for our all aboard time too! We did do the hike in 3 hours and the travel time took 90 minutes each way so please take that into account when booking. Great communication when booking and at the cruise terminal too. It ended up being a hike and a personal tour too so great value for money.

A definite challenge - The climb was harder then I thought so be aware. There is a lot of rocks to maneuver and bring plenty of water. The heat can get to you quickly so be aware!
