Can’t Miss Attractions and Activities in St. Lucia

Stay outside the comfort of your homes and tour out!

St. Lucia’s natural beauty matched by its no other location in the Caribbean will definitely bring out the appreciative side of you. Nothing to worry about nature hikes and programs because it have been established to bring out breath-taking assets of the most gorgeous island in the Caribbean. 

Here are just some of the most-visited places in St. Lucia:

LA SOUFRIERE VOLCANO. It is the world’s only drive-in volcano. Though it is an active volcano, it releases an only gas that’s why there’s nothing to worry about. In fact, it has been 400,000 years since volcanic activity took place in here and the pit formed by the eroded part of it adds spice to the amazing scenery.

THE PITONS. Pitons are considered one of the most magnificent and impressive natural wonders of the world. Actually these primeval twin peaks are St. Lucia’s most famous landmark. Petit and Gros, are two remnants of volcanic domes formed thousands of years ago. Only the halest climbers ventured to reach its summit but it’s all worth the price especially it is a rare sight to behold. 

THE MORNE (Morne Fortune). It was popularized because of its essential part in the country’s history. It was one of the primary battlegrounds between France and Britain in its possession of St. Lucia. Originally it was a fort constructed by the French but by now it is a hill and residential area. The site and buildings of Fort Charlotte have been rebuilt and restored to host the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College. 

THE SULFUR SPRINGS. The Sulfur Springs is a vast area of hot springs located near the Soufriere volcano. Its steamy, bubbly sulfur springs will really soothe your body from within at the same time teaches you a lot about Caribbean heritage. But beware of its emission of big amounts of harmful gases including hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. 

NATIONAL RAINFOREST. For nature-lovers, 19,000 acres of rainforest will surely fill your fascination of flora and fauna. It is exactly made for those who want to view several species of plants and wildlife on mountains and valleys. Not to mention the brightly-hued St. Lucia parrot commonly known as “jacquot”, the St. Lucia Pewee, and St. Lucia Oriole. A forest officer will accompany you as you hike among giant ferns, orchids and mushrooms. And the most exciting part is that you can also try their rainforest sky rides. Carried by an open-sided aerial tram, you’ll probably enjoy the 75-minute ride as you experience St. Lucia’s intense biodiversity. 

WATERSPORTS. Aside from land adventures, don’t try to miss St. Lucia’s waterscape. It is a perfect place for snorkeling, diving, and windsurfing and enjoy the clear waters as it approach the bays and shores. There’s no need to boat off to deeper waters; it’s amazing to know that its steep drop-offs will enable you to view its underwater beauty. The coasts are also a perfect place for turtle watching.
