The ultimate adrenaline rush for all. Whether you are on a family holiday, or on a honeymoon, you can zip within the shadow of Petit Piton with lofty views of the historic town of Soufriere, and the Caribbean Sea beyond.
There are eight zip lines from which you can take aerial photos of the Pitons and the town as you move across the canopy of banyan, coconut, and mango trees.
Experience St Lucia drive-in volcano and Sulphur Springs Mud Bath
This geothermal wonder is near the town of Soufrière (meaning a place where sulfur drive-in volcano claims the world's only Sulphur Springs is produced).
It will please you to learn that this is a dormant volcano. It last erupted 200 years ago. Not only can you drive up to the volcano but also bathe in the hot springs.
This place has attracted such celebrities as Richard Branson and Oprah. The mud baths are renowned to detoxify the body and help you relax. These mud baths attract people from all over the world because they detoxify the body and help heal sunburns, eczema, arthritis, and sore joints.
Marigot Bay
Marigot Bay is a historic landmark that captures the war between the British and the French navies. Marigot Bay is about 4 miles southwest of Castries and near to the Saint Lucian National Marine Reserve.
The Bay is surrounded on three sides by steep, forested hills. The inland portion of the bay forms a hurricane hole, used to shelter boats from hurricanes. It was here that the French Navy hid from the British.
The Marina in Marigot Bay attracts the largest super-yachts from around the world. The bay is lined with exotic palm trees and lush gardens and filled with the deep turquoise of the Caribbean Sea. It is a spectacular sight.
Marigot Bay was also the film set for the 1967 film of Doctor Dolittle. They filmed the shipwreck scene her along with the Great Pink Sea Snail. It has been described as "The most beautiful bay in the Caribbean."
Castries
The capital city has such landmarks as the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Derek Walcott Square (named in honour of the island's Nobel Prize-winning poet, Derek Walcott), the City Library, the Government House, and Fort Charlotte, at the top of Morne Fortune (height 845-feet or 258 metres). Beaches include Vigie Beach, Malabar Beach, Choc Beach, and La Toc Beach.
Climb the Pitons
From the peak of Grand Piton, you can see a panoramic view of St Lucia and the blue waters of the Caribbean.
Climb Gros Piton with a guide to get the most out of the hike. They consider little Piton too steep for casual hikers and climbers so there are restrictions on climbing.
Gros Piton at 2600 feet above sea level is a unique experience for any holidaymaker in St Lucia. These iconic mountain peaks are worth the trip.
