West Coast Island Delight
Explore the lush tropical beauty and stunning natural attractions of St. Lucia's scenic west coast along the tranquil and picturesque Caribbean Sea side of the island.
Your land adventure begins with a brief stop at the Derek Walcott Square in Castries, where you will see the ancient "Massav" tree (said to be between 400-600 years old) as well as the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.
At the Morne Fortune Overlook take in the spectacular, panoramic views of Castries, the north side of the island, Vigie, the cruise ships and Castries Harbor.
Traveling along the West Coast Road, visit the largest banana plantation in St. Lucia and observe the quaint and colourful fishing villages of Anse La Raye and Canaries.
In Soufriere, be awestruck by the majestic twin volcanic peaks of the UNESCO-protected Gros and Petit Pitons, dramatically rising some 2600 feet above the sea! At the Sulphur Springs Drive-in Volcano, have fun in the mud and rejuvenate yourself in a hot, sulphur mud bath or choose a guided tour of the crater where you will see bubbling pools of gas and sulphur-laden steam rising from this dormant volcano.* After an exhilarating experience, enjoy a refreshing dip under the 50' Toraille Waterfall followed by a short speedboat ride to picturesque Jalousie/Sugar Beach. Jalousie/Sugar Beach is St. Lucia's most famous beach noted for its idyllic location between the Gros and Petit Pitons. You will think you are in paradise!
All this and more awaits you on this delightful island tour along the scenic west coast of St. Lucia.
