Tour Overview

From the moment the twin peaks of the Pitons come into view, St Lucia casts a spell that’s impossible to resist. This beautifully curated island escape combines pure relaxation with genuinely memorable experiences. An included island tour weaves through lush countryside to the St Lucia Distillers, where award-winning rums await for tasting, and a stop at Marigot Bay provides a sun-soaked finale. The highlight of the week is a thrilling land and sea safari south to Soufriere, with an open-air Jeep adventure through rainforest villages, a visit to the Sulphur Springs and Diamond Waterfalls and a traditional Creole lunch at a working coco plantation. A glorious return by boat along the Caribbean coast with a stop to snorkel in the crystal-clear waters caps off the day. Stay at the boutique Bay Gardens Hotel in Rodney Bay provide the perfect base, with two outdoor pools, golden beaches just a short shuttle ride away, and optional whale watching and sunset catamaran cruises to fill the leisurely days. Stay further five nights at the Bay Gardens Hotel in Rodney Bay Village.
