We booked this shore excursion after reading the reviews and talking with Herod through email and by phone. We usually book our excursions via the cruise ship but decided to do it differently this time. Everything went according to schedule and we really were able to see the island and the people of St. Lucia. Herod met us at the... More

Skip the ships shore excursion and go see st lucia like you've never seen it with Herrod. After 20 cruises I have to say this was one of the best shore excursions we've ever done OFF THE BEATEN PATH. Highlights 1. snorkeling near the pitons 2. volcanic mud bath 3. creole lunch cooked by herrod's mother and family served on... More

Great day with Herods tours. We did the land and sea tour. The road was out and the people who booked with the cruise ship had their tours cancelled. Herods made it work by doing a "sea" trip both ways. All staff was professional. Love the lunch at his mothers house and doing the mud bath. I would highly recommend. More

This was the best tour of our entire cruise! Even though this tour is not associated with a cruise line, do not hesitate to take this tour. Herod met my wife, my wife's parents, and myself just outside the port shopping center and led our tour group about two blocks to where his bus was parked. We then proceeded to... More

We did Herold's land and sea tour on 2/15/12 and loved it. The mud baths were something we had not done before and dinner at his Mom's was great. His rum punch (his Gramma's recipe) was the best I'd ever had. The ride back in the speed boat was really fun. Just a a beautiful day in St Lucia. More

My friend and I did Herod's Land and Sea tour and had a memorable, laid back day with Herod. He took us to the right spots to get a feel for the island, let us do the mud baths at the volcano and took us to his Mother's house for a delicious home cooked meal. He is the one to... More

We had 1 day in St Lucia, stopping there as a port of call with the cruise we were on. Spending the day with Herod on his Land and Sea Tour was a great way to experience the island. Herod was very professional and was able to provide us with a good history of the island. The sweet bananas, the... More

My husband and I took the Land and Sea Tour offered by Herod. This is a 7ish hour tour that starts with the driving tour of the island including a bannana farm, the sulfer springs, volcano, several small villages and fishing communities and views of the Pitons by land followed by an awesome lunch served on a patio. Herod supplies... More

Our tour began with Herod picking us up at the port and escorting us to his airconditioned van, stocked with soda, water, beer and rum punch. Once in the car we drove around the city, viewing the many landmarks and learning about the history of the country. Herod is a wealth of knowledge and is so very proud of his... More

We did the Tour by water. We got on a speed boat right at the cruise pier. It was very convienent. They took us by speed boat around the island. We went into Marigot Bay, stop at the Pitons and snorkeled. They provided lunch that was home cooked. It was delicious! We then stopped at a black sand beach. Herod... More
