# St Lucia Bamboo Rafting Experience (+Rum Tasting)

**Guidekin's take:** Float through the Roseau valley area on a private bamboo raft, then take a beach stroll. Welcome rum punch, rafting guides and shared return transfers are included; rum tasting depends on the option selected, and food costs extra. 4.87 from 38 reviews at €127 per person for 4h.

In our comparison: #5 of 13 in Chocolate, Rum & Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Slow down and experience St. Lucia at a more relaxed pace with bamboo rafting and optional local rum tasting surrounded by lush tropical scenery.
Unlike larger bus tours, CHIC experiences are intentionally limited to only a few guests per departure — often just 1–3 couples.

Marvel at the sites, as you are transported to the Roseau valley area. Sample a local rum punch or home made Ameretto sours, before boarding your raft. Glide on your personal Gondola through lush rainforests and tropical landscapes, surrounded by exotic wildlife and breathtaking scenery. Your knowledgeable guide will take you on a journey of discovery, sharing the rich history and vibrant culture of the island.
The real excitement comes from the raw power of the river itself, as you immerse yourself in the beauty of St. Lucia's natural wilderness. 
Let's go experience "Natures Tranquility"!!
