As a St. Lucian, I felt so proud watching this video🤗

[@liamalexander1694]

Same

[@TheCashToriTakeoverShow]

We loved st Lucia check our st Lucia vlog out🔥🎬

[@user-qb8km7or3z]

same over here

[@DroppedCroissant]

There are tons of travel bloggers on KZbin, but I love the way you really interact with the local people, cuisine, and cultures in your videos. So many people are obsessed with having luxurious, instagram-ready experiences that they don’t truly engage with the countries they visit. I think you’re a TRUE traveller

[@SledgeIncTeam]

Matt works for City Guide so this is a professional vlog. I know this because I had the same tour guide (Danny Boy). It's still great info though

[@aniceoneil964]

My island home is amazing 👏 St Lucia, indulge in all her natural and authentic beauty

[@stluciaartsandculturecolle9238]

Honestly, this video is a little entertaining but there are many more fun and interesting things to do in St. Lucia than what’s listed here. A few of them are nice, such as hiking the Gros Piton, but this list is very, very touristy and doesn’t really capture the local “core”of what St. Lucia is really about from outdoor activities to St. Lucia cuisine. My advice for St. Lucia travel is to do a little research and seek out more of the hidden gems and real local experiences. For example, instead of the “booze cruise” activity, consider going sailing with Mystic Man in Soufriere near tge Pitons to experience the reef, the Pitons from the water, and to do some dolphin watching. Or, go up into the often overlooked Edmund Rainforest and take an adventure hike Tia beautiful hidden waterfall. This is a lot more exciting than the “drive up” waterfall that is overrun with tourists during the day. Another hidden gem is to spend part of the day at Sapphire Jungle Spa near the volcano and learn all about the local flora and fauna from real experts. Take a drift snorkel trip near the Pitons and get to experience the real snorkel gems such as the Coral Gardens or Devil’s Hole. Go mountain jungle biking in the rainforest environment near Anse Mamin an$ spend some time on one of the island’s most scenic and pristine beaches. Take an art tour in Choiseul and learn all about the culture and tradition of crafts like coal pot making. For culinary experiences, St Lucia has such a rich history and tradition and there is so much missing from this little video. There are so many wonderful real local island chefs to explore. Dine at more interesting local places such as the Pink Plantation House on the Morne.

[@fyahdestinations]

I looked up all your recommendations and will add them to my itinerary. Do you have any other gems. Will be there for quite sometime.

[@TheCashToriTakeoverShow]

St Lucia is a vibe check out our vlog🔥🔥

[@petergrandison4841]

it was certainly good to know that st Lucia as a small island has so much diverse attractions. How ever the first video was so well put together and its producer needs to be commended. As for the added information we thank you and it can be put into another compilation. sometimes the visual helps.

[@reginaldboahene4830]

Thank you !

[@Harli_174]

i went to st lucia when i was 7 and it was the best holiday i have ever been on in my life

[@lisalilsmartass]

I watched your food tour video a while ago, but this video was SO helpful. I've decided to go ahead and book a solo trip to the Island in a month, so I'll be sure to cover your recommendations!

[@rhondahatchett5177]

Ive been on the Sea Spray Cruise to the volcano and sulfur. It was an amazing day. Don't miss this excursion!! Also the Cliffs restarant in Cape Maison is FABULOUS restaurant with amazing entertainer. Bar with ocean view is a must for a sunset. Don't miss the Cliff Restaurant and Naked Fisherman Restaurant at Cape Maison.

[@user-xu9ib9cd6d]

Very good video. thank you. Please come back

[@jxnathanmark7661]

This was so so so helpful. I’m going on Friday morning from the uk, and I’m just here looking for what to do. This was fantastic and I will definitely do the high ropes zip line and Catamaran

[@Joy-bm3qc]

[@Pandora8_]

Hoping to go to St Lucia after 22 years, in December 23, with my family, there will hopefully be 4 to 7 of us going, hopefully everyone will be able to go! Will be my dream holiday and I will be able to see an auntie who I've only ever spoken to over the phone

[@TheMattJames]

Good luck!

[@waynerowe8477]

Hi, good video! Curious on drone regulations...did you have to register? How was the process?

[@patricklawrence2755]

I have a trip booked for St. Lucia next summer...2nd visit to the island (20yrs ago). I surely plan on checking out a few of these...

[@desiredibi1621]

1 Like the prophets of the Bible, in April 1993, I, Kacou Philippe, a man who had never been in a church, I receive in a vision, the visitation of an Angel who commissions me for a Message destined to the whole earth in fulfillment of Matthew 25:6 and Revelation 12:14. This is the account of my conversion, as well as the three great visions of the call and commission as I received them: 2 I came to conversion on April 24, 1993 according to Daniel 10:4 to 11 by a vision in which I saw myself standing on the sand of the sea and then on top of a high pyramid and then again on the sand of the sea in another place and I saw an old military truck coming out of the depths of the sea and leave behind me. I turned and I saw that it contained living people. They were women and one of them was mixed-race. 3 Then two doves came toward me and went back over the waters. And there was an eclipse, then a man having the appearance of a Cloud and holding a sword came down from Heaven with a Lamb and the earth was illuminated again. They stood on the waters and the Lamb began to speak to me in an unknown tongue. The sound of his voice came into me and I fell dead. My soul went to stand on the waters with them while my body was lying on the sand of the sea. When He had finished speaking to me, my soul came into me and I became alive again but I no longer saw Them. 4 Then a crowd of people came toward me from the right side and I asked them if they had seen the Angel and the Lamb. They said, "No!" And I said: “But, how did you not see the Angel and the Lamb and all the things They have done?” They replied, "We have not seen the Angel and the Lamb and we have not heard the Words the Lamb pronounced, but we entirely believe It because what God gave and that the devil took, has now been restituted to you ". I looked up and I saw a ladder set up between the sky and the earth, above the waters and angels ascended and descended. And the vision ended and I felt what I know today to be the Holy Spirit and I wept and I believed in God on the spot. [Kc.64v3] [Kc.130v9] 5 The following day at around 3 p.m. while I was sitting with my family, I was transported again in vision into a totally desert country and I saw eastward Words that were coming down from Heaven carried on Clouds. It was after these two visions that I got up and went to church for the very first time. [Kc.137v37] 6 In a third vision, we were sitting in an examination room for the Advanced level test and the examiner was distributing the test-papers. I said to myself, "But what am I doing here? I do not have a good school level and what am I going to write?” And later, It was said to me: "The same way that Mary conceived miraculously, without knowing any man, the same way that Moses received in details what happened at the creation, you too, you have received the Words of eternal Life on this April 24, 1993 and it is decreed by God. At the appointed time, you will understand and you will teach what you did not learn in order that whoever believes has eternal Life". [Kc.9v34] [Kc.30v1-3]

[@jessesheriff5047]

Hey Patrick, how windy is it there?! Thinking of booking but read it can get really windy!

[@simplyroyalty7458]

@@jessesheriff5047 it's tropical there will be wind. It's not too windy.The strength of the wind is dependent on the area. Besides we need the wind helps keeps down the heat, keep you cool.

How long was your stay on the island? My wife and I honeymoon in St Lucia at one of the major all-inclusives, however we never found our way off the resort. We are very eager to go back and do more exploring this time.

Thanks! I'm planning my 50th bday vacay and have no idea where to go. I've been all around the Caribbean, but they all kinda blend together when they're by cruise. This time I'm thinking I want to really see a country and what it has to offer. And I heard St. Lucia is the prettiest island in the Caribbean. This might just be it!

Great Video - we are planning to visit St. Lucia end of June/early July. I wanted to check if it's possible to purchase a SIM card with data at the airport.

Can’t remember, sorry!

[@carmengoncalves5094]

You mentioned Madeira hike on one of the videos in St Lucia, just wanted to ask you what was the most challenging one? And which island between St Lucia and Madeira did you enjoy most?😅 I’m from Madeira, planning a trip to St Lucia in 2025!

[@marksargent3270]

A very useful guide, thanks. Going there in December, we were planning on renting an SUV, but with so many good tours on offer it hardly seems worth it. What do you think ?

[@TheMattJames]

Hmmm, you could definitely just book tours and no car and have an amazing trip since many tours include transfer also

[@jessesheriff5047]

Great video! One key question; how windy is St Lucia? I’ve read it gets pretty blustery!

[@livelovelife32]

It's pretty windy here!

[@user-xu9ib9cd6d]

It's an island,surrounded by Caribbean sea and Atlantic Ocean. So there is sea breeze.

[@cocobunnyable100]

Merci for such great coverage...are you open to development collaboration projects??

Literally watching this video on my way to Saint Lucia! Let me ask you this, If you only have time for 1 hike, which one is your favorite?

I see you not from lucia so imma tell you dis... When we say Castries we dont say Cas-trees we say Cash-tries and when we pronounce Cashwew like Cash-shew the same as Castries. When we say Soufriere we say Sou-Frere not Su-freay. When we say Gros Islet we say Grows- Islet. We appreciate the time you took to visit our island.

[@motivationvidz93]

To much badmind and jealousy in that country if I was a tourist would never come here

[@livelovelife32]

St Lucia is a very beautiful country and they're not coming to live here just visit. Tbh we ARE pretty friendly considering but like with most small countries there's a bit of that 'small town' mentality u know? If any of the people watching this video are from small towns and villages I'm sure you'll understand exactly what I mean.
