“Booking the rainforest tour Vermont Nature Trail with Fraser's taxi and tours was an excellent choice. At the meeting point, the owner was there with Fraser to guide our group through an informative nature trail. He shared fascinating insights about local plants and answered participants' questions with impressive knowledge. He also shared some amusing stories, allowing us to learn more about the island and its inhabitants. Following the nature trail, we visited a postcard-perfect beach—sandy and serene, with chic bars nearby playing music and creating a lively atmosphere. On Mr. Fraser's recommendation, we tried his favorite bar with stunning beach views. We enjoyed cocktails and local dishes, making good use of our time for both snacks and relaxation. After savoring a special rum punch from Fraser, we returned to the starting point. Overall, it was a fantastic tour that provided us with a memorable day.”— Vanessa_b1011

6. Dark View Waterfall and beach tour from Kingstown

“Choosing Fraser Tours for our full-day private adventure was absolutely worthwhile. My adult daughter and I felt instantly at ease when Fraser picked us up from the Bequia Ferry Terminal, highlighting the new Prime Minister during our departure. His extensive knowledge of the island, stemming from his roots there, enriched our experience with captivating stories and history. Fraser took us along the west coast of St. Vincent, stopping to show us mango trees where we enjoyed fresh fruit, explained how nutmeg grows, and allowed us to stroll along the beach. He joined us at the Falls for laughter and photo ops, even helping us gather lobster and crayfish from the rocks, while providing beach towels and shoes. The highlight was a stop at the site of the Pirates of the Caribbean opening scene, where his insights were fascinating. My daughter summed it up perfectly: it was a day full of fun and invaluable learning. He was simply fantastic.”— Sue M

9. Pirates of the Caribbean tour from Kingstown

Approximately four hours by taxi — visit Fort Charlotte, see Walliabou, swim at Buccament Beach, with commentary from an experienced driver.

“Saint Vincent is a visually stunning island. 1. The fortress offers great views of the harbor and the surrounding area. The guide skillfully explained the background with images, but we weren't informed that a $4 per person fee for the guide was required; our reservation indicated admission was included. 2. Walliabou Heritage Park is small with just a few flowering plants, and we had expected more. Twenty minutes is more than enough time for the visit. Although our reservation showed admission was paid, the taxi driver initially asked us to pay again. 3. The Pirates of the Caribbean site was overcrowded with tourists and traffic. Despite that, the bay is lovely, and the scenery along with the Pratenfriedhof has some interesting aspects. 4. The swimming beach has some free areas (without sunbeds) and offers a nice small sandy bay with shade. The staff is friendly but often tries to sell drinks. The taxi driver was poorly informed about the paid services and drove in a way that was not advantageous, hardly shifting gears, and he also did not adequately avoid an oncoming vehicle on the wrong side of the road.”— 802angyg

10. Pirates of the Caribbean and Dark View Falls tour from Kingstown

“Our group of ten, consisting of five couples aged 40 to 68, thoroughly enjoyed the tour led by Eli. We experienced a lot and found all essential elements of a good tour present, along with drinks and snacks. One suggestion for Eli would be to share more historical context about St. Vincent, including insights on the first colonialists, the island's current political status, and contemporary living conditions such as per capita income and the job market. Overall, it was a fantastic tour that provided a great impression.”— 681guidom
