Climbing Gros Piton: The 15 Best Guided Hikes

18 reviewed

Gros Piton takes about four hours up and down, a guide is compulsory, and the last third is more scramble than path. These 15 guided hikes cover it: what time each one starts, whether transport from Castries or Rodney Bay is included, how fit you need to be, and what the fee at the interpretive centre adds.

1.Gros Piton Hike with Dannyboy & Co.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 210 reviews · from $90Our pick

Guided Gros Piton summit hike in St Lucia with pickup, cold Piton beer, and top-notch driving by Dannyboy and team. Challenging, worth it.

“Our driver, Lloyd, was FANTASTIC! He’s friendly, knowledgeable, & just fun to be around. He shared lots of island fun facts with us & we laughed with him to & from our resort. Mya, our guide, spent most of the 4 hour hike socializing in Creole with her friend & not even hiking with us. That’s fine, we enjoyed the hike on our own, but we paid $260 for this tour. She didn’t speak to the multitude of vegetation in the rain forest or share any facts about the rain forest. Paying $260, I’d expect that if we actually NEED a guide, she stay with us & “guide” us. She…”

3.Gros Piton Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 89 reviews · from $60Best value

Private Gros Piton hike with pickup and a tough trail. Stop en route, climb to summit views, and tackle the Petits along the way.

“The views along the hike were breathtaking … and the hike itself was breathtaking too. Two hours to the summit, a large chunk of which is vertical rocks or steps. It was strenuous, but the feeling of making it to the top was beyond rewarding. The trail guides were friendly, easygoing and motivational (I really needed the help to keep going). Our driver, Kevin, was also very friendly and easygoing. Overall if you are fit, excited for a challenge, and don’t get motion-sick very easily (the roads to the Pitons are filled with hairpin turns), this experience is well worth it.”

5.Gros Piton Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 42 reviews · from $156

Guided Gros Piton hike from Castries to Soufriere with early pickup, steep rock scrambling, and buffet lunch after a tough climb.

“I have asthma, so this was a hard one for me. We were with another family, and we were given 3 tour guides. It's super easy for them, and they even do it twice a day sometimes. That being said, it was HARD. The first quarter is some strenuous hiking. The second quarter is somewhere between difficult hiking and rock climbing. You are traversing over large rocks while still standing upright. The second half of the climb is mostly tough rock climbing. I made it halfway before I had to head back down, but my husband made it all the way. They are smart and send you with multiple guides,…”
