We pick up our guests right from the cruise terminal. Our speedboats depart from the small ferry dock, just a short walk from your ship.  Since we are so close to your ship, no taxi or shuttle is required to get to the start of your tour.  For information where to find us at the terminals, click here,

A $10 US deposit/person and $1.00 US transaction fee/person is required to reserve a space on one of our tours. 

A $50 US deposit/person with a $3.00 US transaction fee/person will be collected to reserve spaces on a private or custom tour.

If your cruise ship, cruise itinerary, travel or tour plans are cancelled due to the coronavirus, your deposit will be credited towards a future tour date.  There is no deadline on when to book and this credit can be applied at any time.

We are unable to offer deposit refunds due to COVID cancellations.

No, never! We have been offering tours to cruise ship guests since 2006 and have never missed a ship!  It is our top priority to get everyone back at least 60-90 minutes prior to their ships departure.

Yes, both the Jalousie/Sugar Beach Break and Spencer's Land, Sea & Beach Adventure are offered. 

During the winter months, the NCL Epic, NCL Encore and Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas are arriving at 1:00 with a 1:30 tour departure time.  Due to the late start, lunch is excluded from the tour and your tour rate will be discounted by $5.00/person.  Even though these ships depart at 8:00 or 9:00 pm, it begins to get dark at 5:00, so that is the time we would leave the beach and make our return to the cruise terminal.  Our expected arrival back is between 5:30-6:00 pm.

Although the tour times are modified to reflect your late ship arrival and to get you back before it gets too dark, we do give priority to all the main sites and attractions on Spencer's Land, Sea & Beach Adventure such as the mud baths and waterfall.  Some of the stops on the coastal tour however, may be eliminated due to time constraints.

Yes, we will pick you up from your hotel. Extra transportation fees may apply. Click here for your add on pick up and return rate.

For cruise ship passengers, our excursions depart half an hour after your ship docks with a typical start time of 8:30 am. If your ship arrives later, your tour will depart half an hour after your ship docks. ie: If your ship arrives at 9:00, your tour will depart at 9:30; if your ship arrives at 1:00 pm, your tour will depart at 1:30 pm. Please note ships arriving at 7:00 or 7:30 am will have a tour departure time of either 8:00 or 8:30.

No Problem!  Spencer Ambrose Tours will be waiting for you at the appointed location.  The tour will depart half an hour from the time your ship first allows its passengers to disembark. However, please be aware that a ship delay may limit your number of stops, what sites are seen and how much time is available at each site.

If your ship arrives on time and you are late meeting us, chances are you will miss the tour.  In fairness to other guests, our tours will depart promptly at the specified tour start time.

For ships in port from 7:00-6:00, 7:00-7:00, 8:00-5:00, 8:00-6:00 or 9:00-6:00, we typically spend 30-45 minutes at Sulphur Springs mud baths, 25-30 minutes at Toraille Waterfall, 15 minutes at the banana plantation and 1- 1½ hours at Jalousie/Sugar Beach.  For ships in port 8 hours or less, (ie:  8:00 am-4:00 pm; 1:00 pm-7:00 pm), less time at the beach and/or sites can be expected. 

Sorry, no.  All lounge chairs at Jalousie/Sugar Beach are owned and controlled by the Sugar Beach Resort and therefore cannot be guaranteed or included in the price of the tour.

Our travel to Soufriere by speedboat avoids the drive on the winding West Coast road.  However, if travelling by land on our West Coast Island Delight excursion, some guests have experienced minor symptoms of motion sickness.  If you are prone to motion sickness, it may be beneficial to take precautionary measures prior to the tour.  Sitting at the front of the van may also help to reduce symptoms of motion sickness.

Yes, for our guests security, vans are kept locked at all times.

Our tours typically return to the Castries terminal 60-90 minutes prior to a ships departure.  This allows time for shopping at the duty free complex located at the pier.  Due to time constraints, guests are not dropped off in Castries or the Castries Market for shopping.  

Yes, Spencer Ambrose Tours offers both private and VIP transfer service to any destination on the island, including from the airport to your hotel and from your hotel to the airport.  Click here for more information about our transfer services.
