Cosol Tour...Definitely Yes!
We were in St. Lucia on December 13th and had booked Cosol's tour. It was even better that we expected! Several ships were in port that day so Cosol wasn't our driver but we had Baptiste who was great (Cosol did make it a point at one of the stops to greet us). There were 12 of us from our ship in an air conditioned van, our driver was easy to find and we were on our way by 8:45. It was a very comprehensive tour and it would take a couple of pages to tell you all about it but some of the highlights were the Toraille Waterfall and Botanical Gardens (the poinsettia trees were gorgeous), the drive-in volcano where a park service guide met us and gave us a talk about it, and the stop at Jalousie Beach which is a private beach between the two Pitons. Usually there's an hour or so to swim or snorkel but we didn't have time because our departure time had been changed from 5:30 to 2:30. Along the way we had sodas, water, beer, etc. and at one stop some absolutely delicious spiced rum.... also warm coconut cookies, hot bread and cheese, hot johnny cakes and fish cakes, and various fruits. Back on board we spoke with several people who had taken the ship's shore excursions and they didn't see nearly as much as did. If you're going to St. Lucia I'd definitely recommend Cosol.
