I could not be happier that I met my goal to hike to the summit of the Gros Piton which has been a goal of mine for many years.

Dear Janus,

Many years ago I watched a program on public television about hiking the Gros Piton of St. Lucia. I live in a mountains state and enjoy hiking and backpacking. After watching it I said to myself “I can do that and I’m going to someday“.

As we planned this cruise with some friends I pushed my own agenda. I was instrumental in picking where in the Caribbean and which itinerary to follow. To my dismay I found that our third-party booking agency as well as the Royal Caribbean International did not have any hiking tours to the Pitons. Because the boat doesn’t arrive till 9 AM and leaves at 6 PM they knew it was too risky to make such an adventure available. We then turned to the Internet to see if we could organize a private tour.

We did find some but none were willing to accommodate our time constraints. When we found you everything seemed to work out.  You were willing to work within our timeframe and you were less expensive than the other companies.

We were very happy with our arrangements with your company. Our driver was excellent and spent many dedicated hours to us that day. He spoke highly of you, the company and your philosophy for doing business and sharing the proceeds with those in need. Our guide that took us up the mountain was also excellent. I could not be happier that I met my goal to hike to the summit of the Gros Piton which has been a goal of mine for many years.

Thank you again for your excellent service.
