Early morning Gros Piton hike from Cap Estate with Dannyboy, transport, water, Piton beer, and big views over St Lucia. Entrance fee extra.

“The hike was tough and only my oldest son and I made it to the top. My wife and 18 year old finished at the halfway point. Take plenty of water and some Gatorade. Lloyd the Good Vibes guide was outstanding and we really enjoyed him showing us around the island. Can’t recommend him enough. I’ll do it once but not twice although I’d tour with Lloyd around the island anytime.”
