I highly recommend Kirk. If you would like to expand your photography and receive a tailored and authentic St. Lucian tour experience, Kirk provides all of that and more. My wife and I like to vacation in the Caribbean, and I try to use these vacations to engage with my hobby of photography as well as general sight-seeing and relaxation. We visited St. Lucia in late December 2023. On prior Caribbean vacations we have taken island tours offered by the resorts that often struck me as too “programmed” and touristy. You were taken to the same places as everyone else, saw the same things and took the same photographs. Even worse, you were either rushed by the schedule or at the mercy of the group’s pace. With those experiences in mind, in advance of our St. Lucia trip I went looking for someone who could guide us to an authentic St. Lucian experience while simultaneously maximizing my pursuit of photography. My search led to Kirk, and I am so very glad that it did.

From the outset, Kirk’s professionalism and passion stood out. After I made contact, we had a 1 hour Zoom video conference to discuss the experience I was seeking wherein we designed a two-day excursion tailored to my needs. We went with two days so that we could focus on larger island tour on one day (with plenty of photography opportunities) and a second day that was more localized and photo centric. As our travel date approached Kirk was in steady contact and we had a second hour-long Zoom conference to finalize the itinerary. This flexibility allowed me to make the most out of each day of my vacation and allowed time for a broader island tour as well as a more photography focused session.

Our schedule was such that our first day with Kirk was a private island tour. Kirk picked us up right on time in a comfortable SUV and off we went on our adventure. We had researched things we wanted to see (e.g. the Tet Paul Trail and various fishing villages) and the things we wanted to skip (the mud baths and the touristy waterfalls) and I had discussed both categories at length with Kirk on our Zoom conferences. This allowed Kirk to plan a tailored itinerary that suited our preferences and allowed Kirk the time and flexibility to offer us a more authentic St. Lucian experience. Day 1 was a FULL Island tour that lasted a FULL day. We went all over the island, stopped at scenic spots as well as some villages I suspect the other tours never visit. While the focus of our Day 1 was the island tour, there was plenty of time for photography. In fact, my favorite photograph from the trip was of a Rastafarian merchant we saw on Day 1. Normally I am apprehensive about photographing people, but Kirk helped teach me methods of approaching and interacting with people in order to respectfully have the opportunity to take their photographs. This particular photograph was ultimately selected by Leica Fotografia International (LFI) for inclusion in their Portrait Gallery—an honor I would have never received without Kirk’s guidance and assistance.

Day 2 was just me and Kirk and the focus was on photography—allowing Kirk to take me to places you would never get to on a standard tour Kirk is a wonderful instructor and was able to tailor his teaching to my pre-existing skill level. When I had a question, he was ready with the answer. More importantly, Kirk was proactive in providing me with guidance on both a technical and artistic level. Generally, when I go on a trip if I can come back with 3-5 good photographs, I consider the trip a success. I probably have two dozen “keepers” from this trip, and the knowledge and experience I gained will continue to pay dividends in the future. I was really a tremendous value.

Again, I highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed.

Before visiting Ste Lucia island, I understood talking with Kirk that he was passionate. We have chosen together what to do and where to go as it was our first time there, as we were 8 french people coming, as doing a cruise tour we wanted not to see the same things from an island to the other. Kirk has been an excellent guide and very helpful on advices !
On site, he kept on talking slowly and clearly so that we could understand him as we are none English native. We do thank his patience and the way he drove us during a single day. For sure, that was the best way for visiting Ste Lucia : having our private tour. At last, we received pictures and a video as present from Kirk. That’s make the difference again. Thanks a lot Kirk for all of this.

A couple of weeks before my departure for St. Lucia in Dec 2022, I did a search for Photo Tours as I love to take pictures at whatever destination I travel to. Kirk’s site came up and I promptly connected with him. I loved that he set up a Zoom call with me to understand what I was looking for, and to allow me to decide whether his tour was what I was looking for. Moments into the Zoom call I knew that Kirk was the right tour host for me – it was clear that he had both expert knowledge about photography that he would share with me, and also that he was an expert about all things St. Lucia. In fact, things went so well that during that initial Zoom call I decided to do a one day photo tour with Kirk on my own, and an organized full day scenic tour of St. Lucia with Kirk and the 10 family members that were accompanying me on our trip to St. Lucia.

The photo tour was excellent. I learned a lot about composition and exposure control with my camera. We talked about and experimented with using different filters too. Throughout the day, Kirk took me to some beautiful sites on the island that I would never have found on my own and I came home with some beautiful pictures and additional knowledge that will serve me well on my future photography adventures.

The island tour with Kirk and my extended family was even better. Kirk and his assistants did an outstanding job of making us feel welcome from the moment they picked us up at our resort on the south end of the island. Throughout our day we stopped at many locations throughout the island at which we saw beautiful vistas and heard interesting stories about St. Lucia. The lunch that Kirk had organized for us was superb – an amazing location near the Pitons with an excellent menu that catered to all of our group’s eating needs (vegan, gluten free, etc.). The best part of Kirk’s tour was the complete customization that we had – unlike a canned tour with preset stops, Kirk adjusted our tour on the fly to accommodate several requests from my family members. Overall everyone had an awesome time and we came away with a very memorable experience on St. Lucia.

Finally I need to note how helpful Kirk was throughout our island vacation. My wife and I wanted to do a hike in the Des Cartiers Rainforest. Kirk connected me with a true forestry expert in St. Lucia who took us out for an excellent walk – Donald literally knew the names of all of the flora and fauna that we encountered and was able to provide incredible information and details about what we were seeing. It was a perfect way to cap off our week in St. Lucia and I can’t thank Kirk enough for making the connection for us.

Whether you are interested in taking a photography tour of St. Lucia, or just want an island tour, I highly recommend connecting with Kirk. I have no doubt that you will be extremely happy with the result and will enjoy a wonderful day with Kirk. The personalized tour Kirk provides is unmatched amongst the many tours I have taken in my past travels.

We decided to renew our wedding vows for our 25th in March 2022. Our internet research showed that Kirk did photos that were outside the box and fun. We contacted him to see about shooting the wedding photos but it turned into so much more. His pride, knowledge, and excitement about his home country is very contagious. We dealt with several people booking our trip and we kept utilizing Kirk more and more throughout the process. We would throw out the wildest ideas for photos and he would do everything to try to make it happen. He also did an amazing job of taking our insane ideas and making them doable in the real world. He is amazingly detail oriented and thought of details that we would not even when it was something he had not done before. The energy and thought put into everything was unprecedented.

Photo tours with Kirk are very stress free. What stood out to me was he had everything in place for what you could plan, but was extremely creative on his feet. He is always trying to make things better. There were always changes to the plan, but you had full trust in Kirk. He is like an evil genius behind the scenes.

His technical skills are amazing. We have hired photographers in several destination places and Kirk makes them look like idiots. His raw shots out of camera are better than any others I have seen. Almost every shot was amazingly captured out of the camera. It was also where he knows how to shoot on the fly. Even the impromtu shots were perfectly framed and fun. He loves what he does and it feeds into the photo shoots.

Kirk's knowledge of the island and the people is unparalleled. He always had a story or historical fact when we were driving around. You get spoiled hearing the historic detail and the excitement about the island when you are traveling with someone other than Kirk.

We initially chose Kirk for wedding photos. He became our wedding planner, guru for everything St. Lucia, and more importantly our friend. You can tell he thrives off you being happy. Everything was so much more stress free when Kirk was involved. His employees share his values. Everyone on the team seemed like family.

Kirk is not a "one-stop-shop" type of place. He is very interactive and learns who you are before working with you. We went through a 25th anniversary vow renewal with almost no stress. I thank Kirk for that fact. Having Kirk at the vow ceremony was like having a close friend there. It was cozy and fun. We have great memories. Kirk was also able to pull the time into an amazing photo book that exceeded our expectations. It was a time we will never forget.

The island of St. Lucia is so beautiful and even more so when you get to see it through the eyes of the best tour guide ever, Kirk Elliott. We wanted a personal experience and wanted to see places that most tourists do not see. This tour did not disappoint. Quite frankly it was the best experience we’ve ever had. From the moment we met Kirk we knew he was our guy. He set up several zoom meetings with us prior to our arrival and touched base with us after arrival. We went to the rum distillery, saw old war barracks, went through the rain forest, ate THE BEST and BIGGEST lobster at Mama Tilly’s, saw local fisherman, ate freshly made chocolate, drank cocoa tea, ate fresh hot bread, saw the Pitons, and went to a waterfall on privately owned land. I’ve saved the best for last, we went to a school and had the best time with some kiddos! Wow, just wow!!! If you are looking to gain knowledge of the island, have some laughs, end up with great photos and videos, and end up with a friend from St. Lucia then Kirk is your guy. Honestly, we’d go back just to see our new friend!!!!

St. Lucia is not a vacation without meeting up with our favorite local, guide, and "St. Lucian Samuel L. Jackson" look-a-like Kirk Elliot. We have kept in contact with Kirk since our first tour with him on our honeymoon six years ago. As someone who was always hesitant of leaving resorts while on vacation, our tours with Kirk have completely changed my perspective of vacationing.

A day with Kirk is not a tour, it's an experience. Besides being with a knowledgeable tour guide, Kirk is a wonderful human who will make you feel like you're part of his family the moment the tour begins. Standard tours generally provide an itinerary that is the same year after year. Kirk Elliot's tours, on the other hand, are a customizable gateway to the REAL St. Lucia!

You want the best tasting authentic St. Lucian cuisine? Kirk has you covered. From hunting down coconut turnovers at Ideal Bakery, trying cassava patties, introducing us to the "hole-in-wall" of Mama Tilly's, the casual sit downs of Flavors of the Grill and Island Breeze Bar and Grill, to the upscale Sea Salt on Rodney Bay, Kirk's guidance gave us the best food and experiences of our entire vacation!

You want to meet locals and immerse yourself in the rich culture of St. Lucia? Kirk is the man. My wife and I swear he must know everyone on the island. We met local fishermen, restaurant owners, artists, musicians, and even government officials. With Kirk, you will feel you have VIP access to every aspect of the St. Lucian community!

You want to see the amazing sights St. Lucia has to offer? Kirk is a professional photographer who knows every secret corner of St. Lucia's amazing natural landscape. There is no question that Kirk will take you to areas of the island that few tourists get to see.

Again, you get to see the REAL St. Lucia! Some highlights of this wonderful country may include seeing the Pitons, bathing is the Soufriere Mud Baths, or diving the Lesleen M shipwreck. However, my wife and I agree that our best St. Lucian memories are with our excursions with Kirk Elliot!

Clearly a 'love fest' here for Kirk and his company.... AND WE CONCUR. 100%.

Hands down, Kirk is one of the most humble, professional, responsive, and passionate service-providers I've worked with anywhere. In fact, I can't think of anyone better in 35 years of business. And it's not because I had a big budget. I did not.

I hired Kirk to do a photo shoot for our family of 6 while visiting the island to celebrate our 25th anniversary. He suggested a pre-arrival Zoom meeting to ensure he had clear expectations. When I told him I was thinking about using the opportunity to renew our vows, he jumped on it and offered to take over the coordination of it all. Another zoom call and many texts later, he created a photo-shoot that turned into a wonderful, magical and special party for our family - AND he captured our special moment digitally for eternity.

Without asking for additional compensation (though he should moving forward, cause he earns it) he suggested, found and coordinated:
+ two beautiful locations for the photoshoot (and a videographer)
+ a wonderful marriage official/preacher (Gem)
+ a florist (with large, gorgeous tropical flowers)
+ 5 part steel drum band (The Superstars!)
+ and champagne for all

The pictures turned out amazing, not only due to his skill, but his energy is so contagious - he made the experience incredibly fun and relaxing for us all.

The man is a total pro who cares about his clients and making them happy.

THANK YOU KIRK from the Andrews family of NC!

Kirk is simply the best! He took us around the all island, let us discover the authenticity of this magic place. He greeted us at the airport, expedited our entry requirements, waited for us with the champagne and took us to a local joint to taste the real food. He took us for a great hiking experience on the Gros Piton and arranged for a fantastic breakfast and lunch. This was not simply a tour, it was an authentic experience and Kirk and his staff are not just tour guides, they are your friends! I great recommend them to anyone visiting St. Lucia!

Kirk is AMAZING!
My husband and I enjoyed not only the pictures he took of us but we enjoyed getting to know him. He is professional, intelligent, kind and trustworthy. Prior to our trip to St. Lucia to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, he requested zoom call to make sure that he was able to understand my vision for my photo shoot. My husband, who have NEVER enjoyed photo shoots, had the most enjoyable time with Kirk. He said it was the highlight of our trip-meeting Kirk. Kirk drove us around the island and took us to some of the off the beaten path places. We never would have enjoyed such an authentic experience had we not met him. He gave us a through understanding of the history of the island, which we appreciated. We are planning on bringing some friends to Saint Lucia this fall and will definitively be using Kirk’s services again.
