Cosol - no beach time listed on website - ???

Recommended Posts

Has anyone been on this tour recently? The website doesn't list beach time and I stumbled on a post that seemed to indicate that he had lost the ability to use the beach.

 

Many people have great comments and I'm interested. Beach time is a real plus to our group.

 

It looks like the change to his tour may be very recent. Information?

We took Cosol's tour about 2 weeks ago (were with Baptiste). We spent about an hour and a half on the beach. It was beautiful. Since there is so much to see in such a short time here, this was an adequate amount of time for the beach, at least for us. This is one of the best tours ever and I highly recommend it. If you have questions, just let me know.

Hi, This is what he emailed me:

 

Cosol Tours T-shirts available.

We will be leaving at 8:30am, we meet at 8:20am at the gate. As soon as you come off the ship you walk into the building right in front of you, then turn right until you meet the security booth, where I will be stand there with a sign "COSOL".

 

 

Its 5 to 6 hours. You only pay in cash at the end of the tour. We will be stopping every 10 mins for your "wow" photo moments.

We will be visiting the banana plantation where you will learn about its growth and taste them, fishing villages (Anse La-Raye and Canaries), also Marigot Bay where the movie Dr. Doolittle was filmed, then we will be stopping for breakfast where you can sample the local fish cakes, johnny cakes, coconut cakes, and different local fruits from the Island. We will be having a mobile bar with rum punch, local beer, water, soda. All eats and drinks will be free.

Then we head down to Soufriere where you will have an overlook of the pitons, then the waterfall and botanical gardens. Then to the only drive-in Volcano in the world where you will be getting an informative guide to show you around. From the volcano we will be going to the beach which is the Jalousie Beach between the pitons for swimming and snorkeling, where we will be taking the water taxi where you will enjoy unbelievable views of the coast. Please bring along your snorkeling gears.

After the beach we will be stopping for a drink and sample the local spice rum. On the way back to the north we will be stopping for the best local hot bread in all of St. Lucia and cheese for lunch. Our last stop will be 5 mins drive from Castries where you can do all your shopping for local souveniers to take back home.

Bring along your camera. Because of the small changing room at the beach you can wear you swimsuit under you garment to save time. If you have any more queries call me on my cell (758) 7196697 or visit my website at cosol-tours.com. Thanks for emailing me. Looking forward to your confirmation reply.

Hi - Momsbusy's email copy is correct of what you get from Cosol. We just got back on 7/19 and spent well over an hour at Jalouise beach on the tour. Water taxi was fun. You'll have a great time!

 

I totally agree. We went on Cosol's tour on 7/22 and it was fantastic! Definitely the highlight of our cruise. Our driver, Adrian, was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the island. I would highly recommend Cosol tours to anyone who will be visiting St. Lucia.
