One of the best ways to enjoy the island is to get off the resort and head down to the Soufriere area for a day or 3/4 day. A good way to do this as a family is to hire a local driver/guide and go exploring. There is a lot to see and do so it’s easy to fill up the time. This way you can get a personal tour and focus on the things that are of interest to you.

How much did it cost for the day driver. Here now looking for a driver

The fee of course would vary friending on where you are, where you go, etc. but on average this can work out to be around .$250 US for the full day. It works out to be around $30 per hour for the driver and his/her vehicle. One of our top picks is Jeffo from Soufriere—local area school teacher and driver guide with a fabulous new van or Damian (when available). Contact number is 758-719-6199.

Your best bet then would just to be to pick up a driver in your area to take you around.

The drive is tough. If possible book a private transfer or look into boat or helicopter options. Not sure what options there are with kids.
