Highly recommended

Going to say Jay and Danny our driver and guide was fanastic great guys that will share some great tips of this beautiful island and show you some special sights . The rum tasting was great but loved the day at cacoa chocolate. Making chocolate and learning about it was made fun and the view from the restaurant upstairs was breathtaking . Highly recommended this tour

Three signature St. Lucia experiences. One seamless day. That’s where the real value of Chocolates, Rums & Rafts comes in—less time arranging separate tours and repeating the same island drives, and more time actually experiencing St. Lucia. With Jay and Danny adding local tips and special stops along the way, chocolate making, rum tasting and bamboo rafting become one carefully curated journey. More experiences. Less travel. Better value for your vacation time and dollars.

Highly recommend!

This experience was amazing from start to finish! Our driver nick was informative and funny, the chocolate making experience was so unique and so fun and the rum tasting was extensive. I would highly recommend this tour!

Our guide Jay was great!...

Our guide Jay was great! Enjoyed chocolate making & especially rafting down river. Since several hours long, a snack would have been nice (other excursions we went on provided).

Response from ViatorAugust 14, 2026

We were delighted to hear that your guide Jay was fantastic. We used to offer salted or sweet snacks, but client reviews weren’t convinced (laughs). So now, we encourage clients to indulge in snacks en route, such as the milkshakes and banana bread available at the route stops. See you again soon.

Great combined tour experience

We did the full tour of the chocolates, rum, and rafting and it was an incredible day. The driver/guide was very personable, friendly, knowledgeable and a joy to be around. Making our own real chocolate bar and leaning about how they are made was fantastic. The rafting was relaxing and the rum... yum. Highly recommend this combined tour!!

Response from ViatorAugust 03, 2026

St Lucia Treasures is designed to bring together three of the island’s most memorable moments in one seamless day — local chocolate, Caribbean rum, and relaxed bamboo rafting. Great to hear the full experience delivered exactly that combination of flavor, culture, and easygoing island time.

Chocolate, Rum and Rafting - A must do

An amazing tour from start to finish! Jay, our driver, was fantastic, sharing interesting facts about St Lucia throughout the journey. The chocolate-making experience was hands-on and fun, ending with making our own chocolate bar. The rum tasting offered plenty of delicious rums to sample, though I’d have loved to learn more about how they’re made. The highlight was rafting with Captain Lazarus—a peaceful, almost spiritual journey down the river surrounded by breathtaking scenery. This excursion...read more

Great guides like Jay and Captain Lazarus bring each moment to life by sharing the stories, culture, and beauty behind the island. This is St. Lucia experienced beyond the highlights. " BIG THANKS""
