We couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience! Chris, our tour guide and amazing photographer, made the day a blast! He promptly picked us up at our resort and was extremely friendly right front the start. He talked to us about the history of the island as well as many of the cultural traditions of the locals. Our first stop was at a beautiful overlook where we met a couple locals who made my fiancé and I a rose and grasshopper made from palm leaves. Chris explained to us that the locals view green grasshoppers as good luck. From there we visited the fishing village where he gave us great insight to the history of the village. We also stopped at a banana farm to sample the delicious St. Lucian bananas. Chris then took us to the Cassava bread sampling where he walked us through the entire process of making the cassava. The chocolate chip bread was delicious! Next, he took us to beautiful view of the Pitons. He was an excellent photographer and took pictures that we will cherish forever. Continuing on, he drove us safely and comfortably through the windy roads to the Toraille Waterfall and the Botanical Gardens. At the botanical gardens we had a guide accompany us and gave us a very informative tour of all the different flowers and greenery the island has to offer. Finally we ended our tour with a surprise for my now fiancé with a beach proposal on Anse Mamin beach.
Mora was exceptional with planning the proposal with me down to the tiniest details. She was so attentive and kind during the whole process that I did not worry for a minute about proposing abroad. Mora, and the team, did an absolute beautiful job with the set up of 4 messages in bottles along the beach to be found and opened by my fiancé which were surrounded by her favorite seashells and draped in our colors. After the last bottle was opened and read, they set up a perfect path of seashells that formed a heart with two lit tiki torches draped in our colors of purple and blue. Chris again took professional pictures and videos of the big moments. We can't thank them enough for the flawless day! After she said yes, Mora gave her a beautiful bouquet of flowers and ice cold Champagne to celebrate. Lastly before our drive home we ate at the Anse Chastanet restaurant on the beach.
I highly recommend Discover Soufriere for any tour and if you are thinking about proposing in St. Lucia, Mora is the one to go to. She will make sure your day as special and perfect as it should be. Thanks to Chris, Mora, and the team for your amazing assistance and execution on such a special day to us. My fiancé and I fell in love with St. Lucia and will forever have a special place in our hearts because of you.
