After boarding your air conditioned van, you will depart the ship pier and pass through Castries, St. Lucia´s capital. Enjoy the spectacular views as you head south and wind along the scenic West Coast Road. Along the way you will see St. Lucia's largest banana plantation and several quaint fishing villages.

A stop will be made to hike to the Peton waterfall. The hike is approximately 10 - 15 minutes each way over packed dirt. Going to the falls is uphill with a few steps. During your approximately 20 minute visit, you can enjoy a refreshing bath in the natural swimming pool.

Your next stop is at the Soufriere volcano, referred to as the drive-in volcano. A 10 minute walk will take you to a point where you will see (and smell) sulfur springs bubbling up from below. You will have approximately 25 minutes to admire the pots of boiling water that are multicolored at the surface as a result of sulfur, iron, calcium oxide, copper oxide, magnesium, carbon and other minerals within the water. As you wind your way through the island's hills, photo stops will be made of the rugged landscape including the islands famous Pitons, two volcanic plugs that stick dramatically into the sky. They are both listed as a World Heritage Site.

During your drive, a stop will be made at a local bakery along the way for a snack such as bread with cheese, local jam or salt fish. A cooler of water is on board your vehicle. Depending on the season, you may have the opportunity to sample some of the islands fresh fruit on your drive back to the pier.

PLEASE NOTE: Roads on St Lucia are in various levels of disrepair/repair. Because of this, guests must expect there will be stretches of bumpy riding. If you have neck, back or hip issues, you should take this into account. Tour covers a wide area of the island and there is a lot of driving required to do this.
