When you visit St. Lucia, ensures that you book your shore trip with the leading St. Lucia excursion company viz:Real St. Lucia Tours.  It is one of the best touring company in the island in that they provide  you with excellent St. Lucia shore trips, they are always punctual they provide the lowest prices at the best value to name but a few.

In St. Lucia one will always remember the excitement of sailing from the city of Castries along the picturesque west coast and looking at the emerging majestic Pitons and other St. Lucia tourist attractions.  These twin peaks of volcanic origin ascend vertically almost half a mile from the ocean.

If at all you want to include a visit to the world only drive-in volcano to the scenic town of Soufriere as well as doing some snorkeling as part of the tour, well real St. Lucia tours is best option. They just make the things to do in St. Lucia a whole lot more fun.

Whilst this tour cost $65/person, a quick search revealed that Real St. Lucia Tours offered that same shore excursion at a reduce price.

One can see the enormous amount of saving that one can get whilst this trip would have cost me $455.00 for three persons, Real St. Lucia Tours offered it to me at $250.00.  A similar trips being offered on the cruise line’s web site and at the ship counter would have cost almost twice that amount.

Please be aware

One cannot make a thorough evaluation between the Shore Trips that Real St. Lucia Tours set and those that are being offered by the cruise line. Real St. Lucia tours has a more one-to–one connections with their clients and their vehicles are all air conditioned

To remove all the stress and hassle from your shore trip on arrival at the port of entry, leave it to the professionals at Real St. Lucia Lucia Tours. 

They can make all those prior arrangement for you and what is left for you to do is just the matter of picking you up on the date of arrival and of course the price will be within your budget.  There is nothing to worry about.

You can pay in cash. To make it easier for you US currency is the preferred mode of payment as it is universal and it is accepted in all the Caribbean islands. You do not have to change to local currencies.

Before you leave on the shore excursions, make sure that you have already planned in advance what exactly you would like to do in St. Lucia.

You can also do your own research; however, I recommend that Caribbean ports of call: a guide for today's cruise passengers by kay showker if you intend to sail in that part of the world. 

 In addition there are alternative guidebooks that give a breakdown of each cruise line’s schedule and which describes the shore excursions that are available.

Otherwise, if you preferred doing your excursion bookings online, the employees at shore trips. com can arrange a trip for you, and give you an assessment of the other trips that cruise passengers have booked

As the name implies, shore excursions review incorporates traveler views along vendor bid.

Viator states that it will promise the lowest shore excursion fees if booking are made via their website.

One last idea: cruise lines states that if a client returns trip is delayed on a shore excursion, the ship will not leave the port without them if you book through them. 

The truth is, if the booking was made by your own arrangement, you may very well miss the boat, so I suggest you contact Real St. Lucia Tours who will handle all your travel arrangement and make it stress free.

  However, it is doubtful that one will find themselves in such a predicament as every tour operator/vendor in a port knows very well the time the ship will leave. After all, their standings and business lies solely on getting the clients back on time.

Frequently received St. Lucia shore trip inquiries.

We are coming to St. Lucia on Royal Caribbean Soon do you know of a reputable shore trip that offers horseback riding in St. Lucia?
Any shore excursion that involves a tour on the beaches, particularly the Anse Chastanet Beach would be great to hear about.

tour operators in St.Lucia normally depart 1/2 hour after the ship comes into port castries. We were sailing on the Carnival Victory and the ship came arrived to port at 8:00. You will be told to get off the ship as soon as we could, so that the tour could begin promptly at 8:30.

I will be getting married in St. Lucia on May 26th and will be arriving in St. Lucia via a cruise ship. My 11 guests will require transportation from the cruise ship to the beach where we will be married.  I wanted to find out if you had vans for transport and what the cost would be per person? I think the wedding will be on Pigeon beach. Also, do you know how long a drive that would be from the ship?

We would like to do a tour of St. Lucia, have lunch, go to the
beach, snorkel and scuba dive (2 are certified).  we have 8 adults (4
grandparents/elderly), 4 children (18, 14, 8, and 5).  What do you
recommend?  What is your discounted group price for adults and children?

cruise ship carnival vicory
Are you interested in a day tour or customized package : day tour
Comments : We will be in port June 10,8:00 are there any other charges or
entrance fees?

What beach are we going to and do they have a restaurant, beach chairs/umbrellas?  Also we arrive into port at 8:00 and will want to start our tour around 9:00 a.m.  The boat leaves at 5:00 p.m.
Does the restaurant accept credit cards or do we have to have cash?  Will they have food for kids (hamburgers, chicken, fries type of things?)
How much is snorkeling on the beach?
How much does it cost to dive?  We have 2 certified divers that may want to dive?  How long does the dive last?
Thank you very much for your quick responses.
Donna

If the older members in the group want to go back to the ship earlier can the driver take them back and then come back at the end of the day to pick up the rest of the group?

I sent all of the information to the 2 other families going with us so they can review and make a decision.  Thanks for all of your help.  I did get in touch with Scuba St. Lucia and he stated that the divers would need to be there at 10:30 for the 11:00 dive because the later dive would be too late to make it back to the ship.  Could we skip the volcano tour and make it there by 10:30? and and stay on the beach until 2 or 2:30 and finish the tour on the way back???   If there is a restaurant on the beach, that may work out better for all.  I should know by Wed. or Thursday if everyone wants to go.
