St Lucia Treasures (Chocolates, Rums & Rafts)

Going to say Jay and Danny our driver and guide was fanastic great guys that will share some great tips of this beautiful island and show you some special sights . The rum tasting was great but loved the day at cacoa chocolate. Making chocolate and learning about it was made fun and the view from the restaurant upstairs was breathtaking . Highly recommended this tour

Excellent exercise and everything went smoothly. Communication from booking to day of outing was very prompt and clear. Transport to all locations in a safe, air conditioned vehicle with friendly amd professional driver. I only wish that it would have been possible to tour the rum distillery as the trip only included a rum tasting session but no tour of the distillery process which is what we were really interested in. Really recommend the river rafting as it was a very relaxing experience.

This experience was amazing from start to finish! Our driver nick was informative and funny, the chocolate making experience was so unique and so fun and the rum tasting was extensive. I would highly recommend this tour!

Our guide Jay was great! Enjoyed chocolate making & especially rafting down river. Since several hours long, a snack would have been nice (other excursions we went on provided).

We did the full tour of the chocolates, rum, and rafting and it was an incredible day. The driver/guide was very personable, friendly, knowledgeable and a joy to be around. Making our own real chocolate bar and leaning about how they are made was fantastic. The rafting was relaxing and the rum... yum. Highly recommend this combined tour!!

An amazing tour from start to finish! Jay, our driver, was fantastic, sharing interesting facts about St Lucia throughout the journey. The chocolate-making experience was hands-on and fun, ending with making our own chocolate bar. The rum tasting offered plenty of delicious rums to sample, though I’d have loved to learn more about how they’re made. The highlight was rafting with Captain Lazarus—a peaceful, almost spiritual journey down the river surrounded by breathtaking scenery. This excursion perfectly captures the culture, beauty and flavours of St Lucia. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic island experience!

Definitely recommend getting picked up from your location. Our driver was awesome, and made the day so much easier than driving ourselves. The chocolate making experience was tasty and interesting, and the chocolate is delicious! The bamboo rafting was relaxing, and our captain, captain Jo (101) was excellent.

Steven was professional and extremely friendly! We had an amazing time today! I thankful for not seeing any snakes! LOL!

If you have Steven you will have a great time! He not only acted as your private driver, but he was also an excellent tour guide and good conversation.

This excursion exceeded our expectations from start to finish! The company was communicative and upfront about everything we could expect, which made the day feel seamless and well-organized. Our driver, Jay, was right on time and shared so much knowledge during the beautiful, scenic drive across the island. The chocolate-making experience was excellent. It was delicious, hands-on, and very informative. Also, the view from their upstairs restaurant was amazing! We also enjoyed a great rum distillery stop with tastings, including Bounty and other local rum brands. The day wrapped up with river rafting, which was the perfect ending. Captain Joe led us and kept us entertained with jokes and great energy. He even made us fresh coco locos right from the coconut with Bounty coconut rum! All in all, this was a fantastic experience and one I would absolutely do again. Highly recommend!

Charles our driver for the day did a great job getting us to each tour and providing information about the Island. The chocolate making was a great time. Rum tasting was good with many different type of run to taste. Did not get to do the rafting unfortunately as the river was too low due to low tide. I would have expected that if the tide is predicable the order of the tour should have been different to make sure we had a high enough river level to do the rafting.

Jay our driver was fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. The raft ride was the highlight and smoothly handled by Simon who brought the journey to life by sharing the history of the land. The rum tasting had over 20 different rums to choose from and sample. I would definitely do this again!

Great tour with rum tasting galore, chocolate making (educational & fun + you get to make your own chocolate), and bamboo rafting (the most grounding & relaxing water adventure ever-shout out to captain Joe). Jay was our driver/guide and he provided a fun educational and safe drive. He even helped us hunt down a bottle of banana honey BBQ sauce 😋

The chocolate making was fantastic. So much fun. The rum distillery had a lot of variety to choose and sample from. The bamboo rather was beautiful and educational. Our only complaint/downfall would be having to wait so long on a boat to pull us back from bamboo rafting (the boat that pulls bamboo rafts back ran out of gas and the vehicle they went to go get gas in broke down so we were a lot later getting back to resort than expected) but overall a good excursion. Andel the transfer driver was very fun and got us to and from with no issue, offers drinks and snacks as well! Would recommend him for all transfers. Would not recommend this excursion for people who get car sick easily.

This excursion exceeded my expectations. I selected the chocolate and rafting option which were so fun and engaging. But what the tour special were the people who added a personal touch. The chocolate making portion was fun and there was a beautiful restaurant area upstairs which has scenic views of the lush mountains. The bamboo rafting was very unique and we made a stop at a beach of the river route which was very cool. Lastly, Nick was our driver/guide and he did a couple stops to and in between tours to show us cool spots around St Lucia (local bars, beautiful view points, etc.).

Steven was a great tour guide! We stopped to make chocolate, went on to a rum tasting and distillery tour and then rafted down the river to the beach. Fantastic day!

Great experience. Our Driver (Jay) was on time, professional and very informative. Keeping the party to a maximum of 6 makes for a much better overall and intimate experience. On the way to the Chocolate Factory, Jay was able to show us some of the local scenery and gave us an opportunity for some photos. The chocolate making was fun and inclusive for us all. On to the Rum part of the day…….so many different Rums to try, you could very easily have “one to many” 🤣 Finally to the Rafting. Very relaxing and tranquil after the morning’s activities. We learned a lot from our guide/captain. Overall a great experience, but I would suggest that you take some snacks as lunch is not included.

Our St Lucia Treasures tour was fantastic, even without the rafting. Jay, our driver, was the absolute best—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the drive feel like a bonus sightseeing tour. It really felt like a two-in-one experience with all the information and beautiful views he shared. Highly recommend this tour and especially Jay!

We had an amazing time as soon as we booked Simon contacted me with all details and on the day he was punctual. On root to our excursion he stopped at view points so we could take picture and gave us some history information very informative. The whole theee experience s were amazing and relaxed nothing was rushed. Wish I found this company at the beginning of our holiday we would have booked other excursions. I will keep their card for the next time we go which is a must.

The tour was paced perfectly for each stop and flexible when we wanted a coffee break. The chocolate class was fun and educational. We also bought our fair share of chocolate to bring home. The rum tasting took less time than I thought it would. We bought three bottles, one high end, one spiced and one liquor. We were that impressed as we are not typically run fans. The river raft tour was gentle and I managed it well even with my bad back. The stop on the beautiful beach was unexpected and relaxing. The tour guides were kind and fun with the details of the jungle. It’s like an adult version of a Disney jungle ride.

Tour guide had a great sense of humor he also explained the details of the island and got us homemade fresh banana bread

Chocolate making was great rum tasting was good even though we went to the distillery we didn’t tour it as that would be about another 90 min. The rafting was also amazing. Steve who organised the trip was superb he made it special definitely recommend

Great trip with some spectacular views!!! Worth every second and penny. The bamboo rafting was relaxing and in the most beautiful setting! Rum tasting was delightful and tasted soooo many types. Thank you, recommend this tour!!!

This experience is worth it. Both experiences are worth trying. Our tour guide for the water rafting was "Dr. Love" and he was amazing. Highly recommend.

It was a great day learnt so much - love Steve he was a fantastic host so friendly and knowledgeable about the island and made sure we had a seamless time moving from one activity to another - he made my birthday very special and left us with some great memories to treasure - couldn’t recommend this experience more highly

Excellent tour!! Steven was our driver and was so fun and informative. We first went to chocolate making experience and then rum tasting and then raft ride. This was my best excursion.. so relaxing and fun. Highly recommend if your in St Lucia

Best excursion experience! Steven is an amazing driver and guide. The small group experience was the highlight of our trip. These three activities are top notch.

Steven was brilliant, informative and professional snd fun, we learnt do much about the island while driving to our tours. We loved the Chocolate making was so much fun and in a stunning location. We enjoyed our day - thank you😁

This tour was well organized and a lot of fun. Steven picked us up at the cruise terminal and took us to the river rafting location. The rafting was a great activity and very scenic. We then went to the rum distillery and sampled a variety of rums. Following that, we went for a chocolate making experience which was very interesting and fun. We made our own chocolate bar from scratch. Steven was a great tour guide who provided many facts about St. Lucia. I highly recommend this tour.

My husband and I came to St. Lucia to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This excursion was the cherry on top! Nick and the crew made this such an amazing experience! The bamboo raft could not have been more perfect. And the chocolate making experience- chef’s kiss! We thoroughly enjoyed every second! 10/10 recommend!!!!!!

Loved! Loved! Loved! This tour was everything! We went as couples, but it’s idea for anyone. I’ve always wanted to do the bamboo rafting and it lived up to the hype. Could have skipped the rum tasting (not a rum drinker); however, the chocolate making more than made up for it. Definitely recommend this tour. Well worth every penny.

Outstanding tour! The rafting experience was so beautiful! Loved the chocolate making experience. I know have a new appreciation for dark chocolate. Our transportation driver, Nick, was A1.

100% must do, the trip was worth it just to spend time with Steven, the guide. Chic and Steven handled everything with great communication and pick up/drop off arrangements were smooth. The chocolate making is a must. Would give the whole experience more stars if i could. Thanks Steven Josh & Georgie

Chic handled the local logistics (driver, choc tasting fee, rafting fee, rum tasting fee) with exquisite perfection. The driver (Javan Paul) was incredible with tons of St Lucia facts and stories. Javan really made this excursion spectacular. If you should all ask for Javan as your tour guide for any tour through Chic or Viator.

This tour operator makes this excursion super fun! It was great way to experience St. Lucia and the wonderful treasures of this island. As a travel agent I highly recommend this tour. I took a group of 8 and the day was perfect! Dr. Melinda Groom

Our first trip to St. Lucia was truly unforgettable thanks to Steven and his incredible tour! From the very beginning, Steven showcased his professionalism by reaching out two days before our arrival to ensure we were prepared and excited for the adventure ahead. His extensive knowledge about the island's rich history and culture made every moment of the tour engaging and insightful. We kicked off our journey at the St. Lucia Cocoa Chocolate Company, where we participated in a delightful chocolate making class. It was not only a tasty experience but also a wonderfully informative one. The staff was welcoming and passionate about what they do, which added to the joy of the experience. Next, we embarked on a bamboo rafting adventure that was simply serene and peaceful. Our raft tour guide was both informative and accommodating, providing us with a nature-filled ride while sharing fascinating insights about the local wildlife. I can't rave enough about how worthwhile this tour is! If you find yourself in St. Lucia, do yourself a favor and connect with Steven and his company. You won't regret it!

This is a brilliantly thought out day. The chocolate making was really interesting and the views from the restaurant upstairs 2nd to none. The rum tasting was really relaxed and you could try as many and as much as you liked.. the final part of the day was the rafting which was down the beautiful river with a really interesting guide. We went into the mysterious mangroves and ended up at the Pirates of the Caribbean beach drinking rum cocktails out of a coconut. Doesn’t get any better than that! Masterminding the whole day with a brilliant attitude.and so much interesting local knowledge was the absolute delight that is Steven. Do not miss this tour.

Amazing combination of activities. Starts in the morning and finished in time for afternoon at the pool still. Transportation fully included. Steven was an incredible guide. Very organized and extremely fun to talk to and spend the day with. My wife and I couldn’t ask for a better way to spend a day in Saint Lucia.

We had an absolutely amazing time on the Rum, Rafting, and Chocolate tour! Everything was well-organized, fun, and full of unforgettable moments. First off, our driver Nick was fantastic — professional, friendly, and made the ride super smooth. He gave us local insights and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. Truly one of the best drivers we’ve had on any tour! The rafting portion was a highlight — relaxing, scenic, and made even better by our raft captain (wish we remembered his name!), who was both cool and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared stories, pointed out wildlife and plants, and made the experience really special. The rum tasting and chocolate stop were also awesome, but what really made the tour exceptional were the people running it. These guys work hard to give you a great time, and they absolutely deserve a generous tip — so bring cash and show your appreciation! Highly recommend this tour — you’ll leave with great memories and probably some rum and chocolate too. 😉

Great, unique experience. One of the more expensive tours though. A lot of time driving to get to each destination. Chocolate making was fun and only 6 of us so it was more personalized. The bamboo rafting was very cool, chillin down the river. Rum tasting was self serve. Several rum flavors to try. We got a few bottles 😊. Overall, very good experience

This was the highlight of our trip to St Lucia, seeing a hidden part of the island on a bamboo raft with mangroves in the river was truly a sight to behold. Our guide was informative and funny and kept us entertained all the way!

Our day in St. Lucia was nothing short of magical. We explored the island’s breathtaking landscapes, from lush rainforests to stunning coastal views. The highlight of the day was making our own delicious Cacoa chocolate bars, a true treat for the senses. Afterward, we enjoyed a delightful dessert at Cacoa, savoring sweet indulgence with a panoramic view. The day ended with a relaxing shopping spree at the duty-free stores, finding unique souvenirs to remember this unforgettable experience.

This was an amazing experience for my wife and me on our honeymoon. The chocolate making was loads of fun, and the rafting experience with Curtis was beautiful, and very personal. The driver showed up to the resort on time and made sure we were taken care of the whole day. Highly recommended.

This was one of the best excursions we’ve been on. The transportation from our hotel was timely. Evans, the driver, was informative as well as charming. The van was air conditioned and very comfortable. Our first stop was the Chocolate factory where we learned the process of making fine chocolate . You can even create your own chocolate bar. There are exquisite candies you can purchase after the tour. Our next stop was a rum tasting with a beautiful view of the mountains and Caribbean Sea. The final destination was the bamboo rafting trip. What a beautiful and unique experience! Our guide, Dr. Love, provided us with lots of tidbits about the local flora and fauna. If you are looking for a unique adventure this is the trip for you. The customer service was excellent from all of the people we encountered.

We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing an incredible chocolate-making workshop followed by a rafting tour with CHIC Hospitality. Thank you to Zaid and Steven for making this day truly unforgettable!

Everything was GREAT! We went for my girlfriend’s birthday and everyone on this tour made her feel special! Our driver Nick, was the best. Patient, caring, and exceeded expectations. The river tour guide Ahmed, was great as well. Very wise and very passionate . The rum flavor we liked the most was the one with the lime. I cant recall the name but everything was perfect. We felt so included as if we were family the whole day! Thank you.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure in Saint Lucia, the Bamboo Rafting & Cacao Chocolate-Making Experience is an absolute must! This excursion is the perfect blend of relaxation, culture, and hands-on fun, offering a true taste of the island’s rich heritage. Drifting down the serene river on a handcrafted bamboo raft was pure magic. The lush tropical scenery, soothing sounds of nature, and gentle sway of the raft made for the most peaceful and picturesque ride. Our guide (can’t remember his name) was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the island’s history, flora, and fauna while ensuring we had the most relaxing time. The chocolate-making experience was a highlight! We got to learn about the traditional process of turning raw cacao into rich, velvety chocolate. We even crafted our own chocolate treats, every step was hands-on and so much fun. Plus, tasting the freshly made, organic chocolate was nothing short of divine! This experience truly captures the heart and soul of Saint Lucia. Whether you’re a nature lover, a foodie, or just looking for something unique and immersive, this excursion is worth every penny. I would 100% do it again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the island!

The Chocolate experience was fantastic. The rum tasting was okay - not the fault of the tour guides - it's just that - you taste the rum. I thought it would be a bit more involved. We were not able to do the bamboo rafting due to the weather. Zaid was very nice. I think if we were able to do the rafting it would have been a better experience. It was mostly driving.
