Has anyone done this Princess excursion in St Lucia?

Exotic Garden & Pigeon Island Beach Break (SLU-220 | St. Lucia)

 

Transfer from Pier to your first visit - Stony Hill Estate

Transfer from Stony Hill Estate to Pigeon Island to enjoy the beach.

Transfer from Pigeon Island to Pier

4 hours long

 

I'm trying to decide between this and an independent tour company that would take us to Pigeon Beach. Is Stony Hill Estate worth a visit?

So no one has done the Stony Hill/Pigeon Island excursion? :confused:

You may get a better response on the St. Lucia port of call board.

I just did this excursion a couple of weeks ago while on the Emerald Princess (march 29-April 8)

 

Stony Hill Estate is lovely...the gardens and views are breathtaking. The house is owned by a retired doctor and his wife. The beach was ok..the water was nice and it was more than swimable...I didn't walk to the fort nearby...it was quite the hike and it was a very warm day. All in all a very enjoyable, if low-key, excursion...

Thank you very much everlong. Can I ask how many people were there on this excursion?

[everlong]

At the estate there were probably around 50 or so....but some were staggered so it didn't seem crowded. There were more than that at the beach...but it wasn't too crowded..lots of chairs to go around...

Thanks again! Last question.... how much time did you actually spend at the beach? On the website it says both 90 minutes and 2 hours and 15 minutes in the tour description :rolleyes:

We were there for a couple of hours. Long enough to swim, sun and relax. It seemed long enough for me....
