This trip was one of the best excursions that we had on our cruise. Jiggy was the highlight of the excursions. He made it a fun filled trip being very knowledgeable and a great attitude all around. The whole ship “catamaran” excursion was the to me the highlight of my trip. Definitely one memorable experience. The mud bath, power shower, the beach “snorkeling,” the food was amazing ….”all homemade by the way”…….delicious.
Oh yeah and I know this is a preference but the rum punch…………DAMN IT WAS DELISH.
AGAIN GO ON THIS TOUR …….amazing sights and amazing crew.
Jiggy got you
He’s the man
Get Jiggy with it!!!!

The views were amazing! Lisa and Jiggy were very attentive and informative. We enjoyed the Sulfer Springs mud bath and waterfall. Then we took a boat ride to Sugar Beach and had a delicious lunch. We went snorkeling and swimming between the Pitons. Incredibly beautiful! Captain Spencer gave us an exciting boat ride back to the ship! Highly recommend.

We signed up for a “private excursion” and met just off the pier.
Honestly it was total chaos to get started - but I’m really not sure if that was our organizer or Spencer Tours
However, once paid up and on board the tour began and it was faultless
Mud baths
Pressure washer (you’ll see)
Snorkelling swimming beach relax
Party on the return leg
Superb -
Great value for money -
Highly recommended -

Highly Recommend Spencer Ambrose Speedboat Tours in St. Lucia. Spencer was our host and highlighted many landmark spots as we cruise at high speeds along the beautiful coastline. We captured beautiful pictures of the world famous Pitons, visited the Sulfur Mud Bath, Natural Waterfall and finally fantastic snorkeling at Sugar Beach within a few footsteps from the shoreline. Pictures are in comments section.

Highly recommend Spenser Ambrose Tours! I booked their Anse Chastanet & Sugar Beach excursion during my stay on St Lucia and could not have been happier with how my experience went. I was picked up in a speed boat which I thought was very cool/unique and was provided with my pickup time and clear instructions on how to get to the pickup point well in advance. The captain and crew arrived right on time and were super friendly and professional. I spent about 2 hours on Anse Chastanet and then the captain came back to pick me up and bring me to Sugar Beach where the rest of the group was. Everyone on the excursion was provided lunch around mid-day at Sugar Beach and drinks were provided on the boat as well as during our time on the beach. On our way back the captain even stopped the boat where there was a perfect view of the Pitons so that everyone could take pictures. I truly enjoyed my excursion with Spenser Ambrose Tours and felt safe the entire time – as a solo traveler this was very important to me! I could not have asked for a better day and would love to book more excursions with them on future trips to St. Lucia.

This tour departs from the cruise port. Sugar beach has great snorkeling. The complimentary Caribbean lunch, rum punch and Piton beers were awesome. The staff were amazing, making for a safe and super fun day. It was our 2nd time on this tour, it has only gotten better. Can't wait to go back.

How long does this tour last? I am coming in on a cruise ship & want to make sure the timing will work.

Hello. What ship are you arriving on? If your ship is in port from 8:00-5:00, the tour will depart at 8:30 with a return by 3:30 in the afternoon. If your ship is in port from 9:00-6:00, the tour will depart at 9:30 with a return by 4:30 in the afternoon. If your ship has an earlier departure time, you will then be returned 60-90 minutes prior to your ships departure.

Dans l'excursion «West Coast Island Delight» on doit choisir entre le bain de boue ou la visite du volcan. Est-ce possible de faire ces deux endroits et de ne pas aller à «Toraille Waterfall» à la place? On prendrait l'excursion de 13h00 et notre navire repart à 19h30.

Not 100% sure of the question since it is French. I think you're asking about the tour to the volcano. We only did snorkeling with Ambrose Tours while were in St. Lucia. They were great, by the way. We had plenty of time for our trip, which included beach and lunch of local food. Got back a little late, but still would have had time for shopping.

Hi, I have a couple questions about this excursion. How long did you get to enjoy the beach, where there enough available chairs, was your lunch included, do you recall the price of beer. Did the resort treat you different since you were not a guest. also was there a wash room available for non resort visitors. I know its a lot, but last year we took an boat to what was suppose to be Sugar Beach but once we were on the boat they told us they are going to Anse Chastanet. instead, Was not a good day for us lol. Thanks

Hi Juliet
On our trip with Spencer we had about four hours at Sugar Beach, plenty of time to take photos out at sea looking back at the Pitons and we called back into Marigot Bay on the return journey.
There are chairs ( no umbrellas) and its on a first come first serve basis but as a number of tours drop in and out of the beach they do become free.
There were washrooms and they were perfectly ok.
On our tour we had an excellent lunch with beer, water and rum punch throughout our stay all included.
You are on the public side of Sugar Beach but having said that I understand all beaches in St Lucia are open to the public you just won't be able to use the loungers and water sports provided by the Sugar Beach Hotel, however as we did you can certainly walk along the beach and swim in the sea
The snorkelling in the nature reserve is excellent but as others have said it is a bit rocky so if you have water shoes take them.
The view from the beach is outstanding
We had a great time on the tour and felt we got great value for money and were back on the ship in plenty of time.
Check out my review and as others have said be specific about what you what to do and ask exactly what the tour entails.
Enjoy St Lucia

On the land and sea tour, is their an opportunity to take pictures by the pitons on land other than on sugar beach?

Yes... they travel by boat and the first snorkel stop is just before it, the 2nd snorkel spot is right next to it and you have a good view off in the distance.

How many people get grouped together in a tour? I read some past reviews from people who said their tour group size was 90 people.
Also, do people ever get motion sickness on the boat?

Sorry bit late in responding. Spencer Ambrose boats hold about 12 to 15 people. But that being said there were several boats headed out on the Land & Sea tour. They mix where people start the tour and then all end up at Jalousie beach for lunch with swim and snorkel time.

I will be staying at Coconut Bay resort. Has anyone else did this trip from there? Were there any problems? How long did it take you to get back to the hotel after the tour-it looks far and I usually get car sick. Was that a problem? Thanks!!

It’s pretty bouncy- if you can take some non drowsy Dramamine or get the prescription anti motion sickness patch from your doctor you’ll probably enjoy it more.
