Review of the Gros Piton Hike with Dannyboy & Co., including trail difficulty, transport, costs, guides, views, and practical booking advice.

“I enjoyed this hike. My S/O did not. This hike is rated as moderate to difficult. It's very hot and humid and some endurance is required. The view at the top of the mountain was incredible. Our guide for the hike itself wasn't the friendliest. Very quiet and not much learned about the local flora. Danny Boy, the driver to and from the base of the mountain was incredible. My S/O got sick at the base of the mountain. Danny made sure that he got us back to the resort as soon as he possibly could so that she could rest. I was very thankful for his assistance.”

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

Gros Piton is a hard but rewarding St. Lucia hike with island views, local guides, pickup, and important timing and transport cautions.

“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.”

“I am so glad I did this hike but it was very hot and difficult. Wear shoes with ankle support and make sure you bring gatorade to help with losing electrolytes. Our driver was great and got us through some tough traffic. I didnt really like the lunch but it was very authentic.”
