OVERVIEW
Cruise along the island’s gorgeous western shore in a speedboat for an indulgent adventure that includes swimming, snorkeling and luxuriating in a mud bath. As you race down the coast, you will pass jungle-like forests, beautiful beach-rimmed coves and the iconic Pitons, twin volcanic spires that are so geologically and biologically significant that UNESCO declared them to be a World Heritage site. After disembarking in Soufriere in the shadow of the Pitons, you will travel through the world’s only “drive-in volcano,” an eerie landscape of bubbling sulfur springs that the geothermal activity below causes. You will then ease into a mineral-rich mud bath with therapeutic benefits that supposedly range from reducing inflammation to detoxifying the body. Then it’s back to the sea in the speedboat, which will bring you to the magnificent beach Anse Chastanet. Feel free to take a refreshing swim and behold the marine wonderland beneath the surface by snorkeling.

The Rainforest Sky Ride in St. Lucia provides you with a bird's eye view of a truly mature oceanic rainforest. Nurtured by warm, gentle rains and rich volcanic soils, St. Lucia's forests have achieved a state of ancient majesty. Gondolas safely glide you through and over the tree tops, where knotted and twisting woody vines wind to the tops of old growth rainforest trees. Dense thickets of surreal vegetation merge with cascades of flowers. Lavender stars, orange bursts, yellow berries and white lace thrive on the branches of fragrant flowering trees.

Giant 'Chatannier,' magnolia, and gommier trees tower over the landscape and provide food and shelter for St. Lucia's endemic and endangered parrot. Experience St. Lucia's forest and witness this ancient celebration of color and life. At the end of your Tram Ride, there is an optional walk through the beautiful Hummingbird Garden.

Travel through St. Lucia's countryside and the communities of Babonneau, Fond Assau and Chassin. Upon arrival at the Rain Forest Sky Rides Eco Park you'll gear up as your naturalist tour guide gives a safety introduction and then accompanies a group of no more than eight persons to the training cable for a trial run. After successfully completing the training cable, board the Aerial Tram which will transfer you through the wonders of the rainforest to the top station where you disembark. Continue on a trail descending through the thicket of the rainforest and after a hike of approximately 15 minutes you reach the first sky canopy platform.

The first zip cable is only the beginning of an exhilarating experience. In all, you'll glide along eight zip cables. Fly among the high rainforest trees and enjoy great views of the north of the island, Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. After this exhilarating experience, board the aerial tram and relax in the comfort of your gondola while you enjoy fantastic views and the nature around you.

Castries is the charming capital city of St. Lucia, the sort of island that travelers to the Caribbean dream about: a small, lush tropical gem that is still relatively unknown. Begin your journey by heading to Mount Fortune, a hill and former military outpost overlooking the harbor it was meant to protect, definitely the place where you can both admire the view and capture your cruise ship photos. Here you will also take amazing selfies at The Old Barracks. The tour then goes to Castries Central Market, St. Lucia's most colorful and largest open-air market. This is the perfect stop for buying fruits, vegetables and handmade crafts while taking amazing photos with the locals!

Vigie light house will be the next place to take a great selfie. Catch a great view of the island that serves as a background to your pictures. Finally visit a popular shore on St. Lucia, Vigie Beach, with invitingly soft white sand and vivid turquoise waters. Stroll by the shore for an easygoing beach experience or swim in the calm blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. Discover Castries’s most epic spots to snap your selfies while enjoying and learning about its history and culture.

OVERVIEW

Ride through the gorgeous countryside in an open-air Jeep and race through the tree canopy on a series of ziplines before relaxing at the beach. Shortly after leaving Castries, you will pause at the Morne Fortune lookout for the ultimate view of the capital city. Still, natural beauty is the island’s star attraction, which will see firsthand while driving to Rainforest Adventures, a heavily wooded eco-park. After a test run to ensure that you are comfortable with ziplining, you will be harnessed onto the aptly named Adrena-Line and race through the towering trees on a series of eight exhilarating ziplines. For an added thrill, you can even go backwards. The views from the elevated wooden platforms between the ziplines will be breathtaking. The scenery will be dramatically different, but just as visually arresting on Pigeon Island. There you will be free to enjoy the beach that rims Rodney Bay as you please.

OVERVIEW

Sail along the naturally beautiful western coast of St. Lucia in a catamaran to a secluded beach where you can swim, snorkel and enjoy a barbecue lunch. The tropical views will be spectacular the entire way, but especially on the approach to iconic Gros Piton and Petit Piton, twin volcanic spires that tower majestically above the coast. They are so geologically and biologically significant that UNESCO declared them worthy of a World Heritage site designation. A short distance away in the shadow of the smaller spire, you will stop at pebbly Malgretoute Beach. There, you will be free to do as you please, even if it is nothing more ambitious than basking in the sun after a refreshing swim in the sea. If you would like to observe the many wonders underwater, you can snorkel the crystal-clear waters. Lunch will be served at the Soufriere Waterfront.

OVERVIEW

Ride up the northwestern tip of St. Lucia in a vintage party bus to Pigeon Island, the ideal setting for a refreshing swim in the sea. The good times will be flowing freely as the bus follows a spectacularly scenic route through waterfront towns such as Gros Inlet, a former fishing village that has become wildly popular. It lies in the shadow of Pigeon Island, which is an island only in name as a manmade causeway now connects it to the mainland. Beautiful beaches rim the peninsular island, especially on the side that overlooks Rodney Bay. The party will crescendo on a prime spot for you to bask in sun, stroll along the shore or simply stretch out and enjoy the tropical views. The ride back will be just as pleasurable and entertaining as a commentary will describe the history of the molasses-based rum in the punch that will be served on the return drive.

OVERVIEW

Settle in for a delectable Creole-inspired lunch at a colonial mansion that has been converted into a restaurant and art gallery. On the drive out of Castries, you will pass landmarks such as a historical Roman Catholic church and Derek Walcott Square, which was named for the St. Lucian-born poet and playwright that won the Nobel Prize. Upon reaching the Pink Plantation, a rosy-hued French-designed residence on the outskirts of town, you will first browse the tropical garden and gallery. The works are by local artists that include owner and ceramicist Michelle Elliot, who will also prepare your lunch. You will dine on the plantation’s open-air veranda, a setting that will be as inspirational as the dishes. The starter will likely include callaloo, a spicy soup that originated in West Africa.
