“Walking through the rainforest and seeing the local trees, fruits and wildlife was so different to the beach. Walking through streams and seeing the natural waterfalls, bathing in the pool it was beautiful. Dee and Marley gave a very informative trip, took photographs of us and made it fun as we went along. We also visited the local town and ate Caribbean food made by the locals. It was a great outing. Thank you.”

7.Private Gros Piton Hike in St Lucia

Climb UNESCO-listed Gros Piton with a private guide after pickup from your Castries hotel or cruise port. Plan on about two hours up and two hours down, with four rest stops for photos. The trail is steep and rocky, so bring sturdy hiking shoes, take your time, and budget separately for the required entrance fee.

“Our driver Raffi was terrific. The pitons were great and our 7 year old had no trouble with the hike at all. Do to the time constraint with our cruise ship we only made it to the 1/2 way point but it didn't compromise the enjoyment of the trip at all. We loved it.”
