The 15 Best Hiking Tours in Soufrière

1.Gros Piton Hike with Dannyboy & Co.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 210 reviews · from $90Our pick

Rise early for a guided climb of St. Lucia’s 2,620-foot Gros Piton. Dannyboy and his team provide hotel or port transfers, island stories, water, and a cold Piton beer afterward. Government-approved hiking guides lead the rocky route. Plan on a strenuous five-hour outing and an extra $50 entry fee.

“I enjoyed this hike. My S/O did not. This hike is rated as moderate to difficult. It's very hot and humid and some endurance is required. The view at the top of the mountain was incredible. Our guide for the hike itself wasn't the friendliest. Very quiet and not much learned about the local flora. Danny Boy, the driver to and from the base of the mountain was incredible. My S/O got sick at the base of the mountain. Danny made sure that he got us back to the resort as soon as he possibly could so that she could rest. I was very thankful for his assistance.”

2.Gros Piton Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 89 reviews · from $60Best value

Climb St. Lucia’s Gros Piton through tropical forest to sweeping views of Soufrière, Petit Piton, Martinique, and St. Vincent. Pickup is offered from accommodations or the port, with drivers such as Kevin and local trail guides including Catia, Larry, and Damascus reported on recent outings. The hike is strenuous, and the park entrance fee is separate.

“Taxi arrived promptly and taxi driver Kevin was great. Journey from the north to base of Gros Piton was approximately 1.75 hours. A large bottle of water was included in the price and believe me it was needed for the climb along with extra we took along and some snacks. We did have to wait 30 mins for our taxi at the end which was a little disappointing but a bottle of Piton ( local beer & also included in price) went down well 😁”

3.Gros Piton Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 42 reviews · from $156

You’ll ride from Castries through Morne Fortune, the Roseau Valley, Anse La Raye, Canaries, and Soufriere before climbing Gros Piton. Guides such as Virginia, Alvin, and Simone help pace the group over steep rocks and boulders. Allow about seven hours, bring sturdy shoes, breakfast, water, and good fitness.

“There is definitely a sense of accomplishment to arrive to the Summit of Gros Piton. Although a lot more accessible than his steeper brother, Petit Piton, this 2100 feet mountain is basically a rock climb which is steep, somewhat slippery, and definitely a good work out. There are rails made up of branches and overall an do-able hike. We took our kids aged almost 5, 7 and almost 10. The older kids had no issues, the 5 yo needed help and turned the he hike up and down the same route into a 5.5 hour trip. The group wasn't otherwise formed of young adults, so while myself and my husband…”
