Your cultural excursion also gives you the chance to take in panoramic views from the iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Pitons. Enjoy taking a dip in the relaxing mineral mud baths and cruise through the majestic Sulphur Springs, the only drive-in volcano in the Caribbean!
Your scenic excursion kicks off as you meet up with your expert guide at the gangway and step into your comfortable vehicle to enjoy a scenic island excursion along St. Lucia’s west coast. First, you’ll drive through the small fishing resort town of Anse-La-Raye, followed by the quaint fishing town of the Canaries, where you can catch breathtaking views of northern and southern approaches. Next, your scenic excursion takes you to the beautiful village of Soufriere, where you’ll get to take in the majestic views of the iconic Pitons, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These towering twin mountainous lava necks consist of the nearly 2,700-foot Gros Piton and the 2,438-foot Petit Piton and makeup approximately 7,200 acres of land.
Continue your island excursion just outside of Soufriere with a drive through the iconic Sulphur Springs. As the Caribbean’s only drive-in volcano, this tourist attraction makes it easy to see the tar-colored pits and its stunning scenery up close.
While the water temperature at the Sulphur Springs is typically hot, at 110 degrees Fahrenheit, the water is cool enough for you to enjoy its mineral mud bath. Legend has it that these mineral mud baths offer healing powers. Wrap up your scenic island excursion by taking a dip in the mineral mud baths before heading back to your port.
From enjoying a scenic island drive to relaxing in the cool mineral mud baths, this guided tour offers much to do. Reserve your spot on this panoramic volcano and sulfur springs tour today and get ready to make lifelong memories in St. Lucia.
| Day 1 |
St. Lucia is an island of verdant landscapes in every direction: A dense rain forest rises up and covers The Pitons' twin peaks, and in the valleys, the sun's rays dance upon the large yellow-green leaves of banana plants. Beyond all the greenery, you'll find isolated coves, stunning beaches, colonial towns, quiet fishing villages and first-class yachting facilities.
Sports-enthusiasts needn't worry about feeling idle on a St. Lucia vacation. The island has plenty of activities to partake in, from water sports such as diving and snorkeling to land options like hiking through the rain forest and exploring a volcano. Lucia's beaches are awe-inspiring, with strands of black volcanic sand, mile-long stretches of white beach and gorgeous palm-fringed bays bordered by towering mountains. Nature's impact on St. Lucia's beaches has made each one more breathtaking than the last. |
