"We had a fun time on the tour. We were met at the dock, but there was a little confusion of where to meet. Even though the boat arrived early and many other companies were at the pick-up point, our company came closer to the stated time. That is good and bad...we waited around the pickup area for about 45 minutes. There was a short ride to catamaran dock, where people from several tours were put onto the same catamaran for a short sail to another dock where we were divided. Be sure to keep a copy of your receipt/voucher as a family we were traveling with (and another family as well) were told they were going on a different tour than what they booked. After some insistence, the on board guide called the main office and cleared up the confusion. This tour was good and after a visit to the botanical garden, we were given the option of going to the mud baths or touring the volcano. We chose the volcano tour, which is really a quick look at steam ports and active mineral pools. Following the visit to the volcanoes, we went to a plantation for a lunch of local cuisine. It was an excellent lunch. After the visit to Soufriere, we sailed to a spot for some snorkeling. It was a short visit and could have been improved by allowing the snorkelers to have fins. It was difficult to swim to the small reef area and back to the boat without fins. Following our snorkeling, we then sailed back to the cruise ship dock with a drop off a short walking distance from the ship. We made a quick sail through Marigot Bay for some sightseeing of some really nice yachts. The catamaran was well maintained and the crew onboard was helpful. Drinks were available and snacks were available on the boat." - LewieE January, 2018
