“Nice and relaxing way to get to our resort. Go straight to the information desk leaving the airport and they’ll point you to your driver. The driver will be parked and waiting for you. Ours was really cool and we talked the whole way to the resort. Very friendly and personable. Would absolutely book again for the convenience and good A/C. FYI - At the airport don’t give the guys with the carts your luggage even though they’ll say they’ll help you get to where you’re going. It’s a scam and unnecessary. They sort of block the exit outside just walk past them it’s not that complicated to navigate outside.…”

Mavo was not only highly experienced but also shared fascinating insights about the local wildlife and the rich history of St. Lucia along the way. The hike itself is challenging in parts, but the path is well-maintained, with steps and handrails to help you navigate the steeper sections. One highlight of the hike is about three-quarters of the way up, where you'll come across an enormous mango tree—easily the biggest I’ve ever seen.
