Sea to Sky

This day long excursion was full of a great mix of activities. From the catamaran to the ziplining to the educational plantation tour to a delicious lunch, back to the catamaran then snorkeling on the way back. The ziplining is very tame, do not let that portion of the tour turn you away.

Very good day overall, including the sailing to/fm southern part of island. Lunch buffet was also great. We had two families traveling together and were able to do two excursions mostly together, i.e., the sail boat transit was same for the zip line adventure and the Soufrei sail, so the two groups were together much of the time.

One of the best lunch buffets I have had on an excursion.

Had a great time hearing about the history of the island and zip lining was awesome. The tour of the property was educational and our bus driver was fantastic! Lunch was good too.

Much better price than a similar zip line from cruise line. It was a little confusing finding our group on the dock, but so are a lot of cruise line tours. Boat ride to and from zip line location was long, but I didn't mind that as long as I could find a shady spot. Plantation tour was interesting, zip line was fun, lunch was good. Those who wanted to snorkel might not have had as much time as hoped for. We were actually about 20 minutes late returning to the ship, and they had to hold a gangplank open for us. I just kept telling myself it would be ok, as ShoreExcursions promises to get you there on time or make other arrangements.

The adventure was great and what I remember most was how I was treated. Kindest people I've ever met hands down ! Ask for Emmry and Philip when doing zip-lining and Nastasha for the tour.

The catamaran ride was relaxing and we saw beautiful sites of the coast of St. Lucia..The zip line was awesome and was my first time..The people who helped us made it fun and I felt safe..What a great 7 hour excursion which ended on the catamaran with snorkeling

I would highly recommend this excursion, the plantation tour was great followed up by the zip lining with professional guides!! The catamaran ride was great. They got the ride back exciting with the snorkeling and then brought on the rum punch!! That was awesome and then the dancing and singing began!! Thanks for everything!!!

Sea and Sky tour was amazing and a great value compared to Royal Caribbean's tour. We had a beautiful catamaran ride along the coast of St. Lucia and were dropped off for our zip lining adventure. There was a short ride to the plantation where we had a very informative tour and where the zip lining began. After zip lining, we ate lunch right at the plantation and was taken back to the catamaran for our return to the cruise ship. On the way back, we stopped for snorkeling and the tour provided all necessary equipment. Didn't see many fish, but the water was beautiful. On the catamaran in the morning, there were pastries and fruit, soft drinks and water. On our return catamaran, rum punch, beer, soft drinks were provided. Liked the guarantee the tour provided to get us back to cruise ship on time. Will definitely you this tour company again.

Highly recommend this excursion. Zip lining through the Piton forest is amazing. The guides know what they are doing and make your zip lining so much fun. They are also very good at recording your adventure on your own camera. The catamaran is in great shape. There is a very nice buffet lunch at the Romney Plantation. Great local food. The snorkeling was good. The trip back was full of fun, drink, and dancing.

We selected this excursion through Expedia and were slightly concerned with it returning on time to the cruise ship. There is NO NEED TO WORRY! This was the best excursion we did on our cruise. I don't like long excursions that leave you feeling tired. You will not be bored or feel like you wasted time sitting on a long bus ride. On to the review! We met our coordinator at the St Lucia cruise ship pier to find out we missed the bus. She said not to worry and walked us along with a few other couples around the fence to the catamaran. It was not far less than a 4 minute walk. Phew, no big deal. The catamaran ride was on a large cat called the Carnival cruise tour. This catamaran was taking us all to Soufriere past the Piton mountains to a harbor area where everyone was organized to leave on different excursions. The ride out took about 1 - 1.5 hours. It was fun seeing flying fish skim the water and enjoy the music and beverages. Food was also provided, but we didn't have any because we just had breakfast before leaving. We were the only couple on this catamaran doing the Sea and Sky. (There were about 60 people onboard) The owner David met us at the dock and rode with us in a provided van to the plantation. He gave us some history about himself and the island. It was a quick trip to the location maybe 10 minutes away. After arriving we were able to use the restrooms (they are also available on the catamaran) and shown to our guide for the plantation tour. Our guide Sevra was knowledgeable and fun. We saw many different trees, flowers, fruits, cocoa, coconuts, etc. I won't give away everything that was shown because it well worth the trip. We were able to taste and see many different things at the plantation. After concluding that portion of the tour we were handed off to the zipline portion located at the back of the plantation. We were fitted for helmets and harnesses and lead by our two guides Charlie and Vencia. They were fantastic! After explain all of the safety precautions and how everything works we were off to the ziplines. They are double lines and very safe, able to hold over 20,000 lbs. Nothing to worry about there. You also have an additional safety line attached. The guides do all the hooking up of equipment and go before and after you go. The first line is up a bunch of stairs up a Banyan tree. Wow it is beautiful. The first drop was the scariest if you haven't done it before. It's very safe and you get the hang of it quickly. Part of the safety is they check for an all clear and yell ZIPPIN before you launch. It is so fun, I'm still yelling ZIPPIN at home making my wife laugh at my nonesense. I wish I was back there! After the zip lines you go to a covered area of the plantation for lunch. It's served from a staff that works hot chaffing dishes. The food was wonderful. Very tasty along with the beverages. The Tamarind drink was very good, along with water and other choices if you are not as adventurous. After lunch we were giving some time to clean up and explore the plantation for a little bit or relax before our bus left to return us to the catamaran. The catamaran ride back took us to another location to drop off some guests from other tours and where we saw some beautiful homes and boats. The ride continued for us to a location to swim or snorkel or just relax and enjoy some beer or rum punch and chat with other guests. I think our catamaran had about 30 people returning to the cruise ship with us. We made it back with plenty of time to spare and nothing to be worried about. We had been to St Lucia for our honeymoon 15 years earlier and we did a similar excursion back then. This was by far the most fun we had on any excursion on the cruise ship. I would do it again if we have the opportunity to return. David and his staff were truly incredible and well worth the trip.The catamaran crew were great also. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed!

Zip-lining was great! The location is spectacular The snorkeling was pretty good. But the party... the party on the way back was hilarious. Everybody was drunk, and even a few old geezers were dancing the bump and grind. The staff really knew how to get people on their feet. Everyone had a great time!

We enjoyed our day long Sea and sky excursion in St. Lucia. Our party of five included two young children. The boat ride to and from Soufrie was enjoyable and the ziplining was perfect. The zipline followed a tour of the lovely plantation and an overview of the Island's history and culture. Lunch at the plantation was wonderful and the rum punch was perfect for the sail back.
