We took this tour as part of the Soufriere Adventure thru Sandals. I felt it was excellent. The professional guide pointed out ALL of the plants in the garden including explaining where the plants came from and how long they had been in the Botanical Gardens. He offered to take pictures for all of us at the Diamond Falls. Gift... More

This garden is beautiful and well maintained. It gives you first hand view of all the plants they have on the island and the different flowers they grow. I recommend it only if it is part of a package because it is very far if you are staying in Gros Islet and the entire garden is viewed in an hour.... More

Nice place to visit while in St. Lucia. An important point to note is that the guides you see work "pro bono" so when you pull up, one of them will walk up to your car or tour bus and offer to take u on a tour...the guide we had, Peter was awesome but I heard some other people there... More

The highlight of the visit is clearly the waterfall that is at the end of the nice walk among the gardens, but the gardens are worth spending some time wandering around and appreciating the flowers, trees and birds. . The visit should take 15-20 minutes before you reach the waterfall and if you want you can make it with a... More

This was a nice botanical garden, but nothing spectacular. The most interesting part is the dark grey, mineral laden waters of the stream and waterfall, which are coloured by mineral deposits from the volcano. A hurricance did a lot of damage a few years ago and the park seems like it may still be recovering. They have interesting pictures of... More

I was expecting a little more from the waterfall and gardens. It was nice and well kept but not the highlight of our day. More

This experience isn't necessarily jaw-dropping like the views of the Pitons, but is a terrific and fun diversion for a few hours. Would recommend getting a tour-guide -- you can pay them $20 and they'll take you on a great one-hour tour. More

Beautiful and lush gardens. The plants are huge and vibrant. You can walk and view the large variety at your pace. Waterfall is very nice also. More
