The majestic peak of Gros Piton, along with its twin peak Petit Piton, dominates the western coast of St Lucia. We will head up the misty mountainside with a guide through the jungle and view St. Lucia from the top. Afterwards we'll stop for a local lunch and go for a refreshing swim in the Caribbean Sea.

We will step aboard and experience the magical splendor of a unique Dolphin and Whale Watching Experience. We will travel two miles out to the 3,000 feet deep ledge and follow this route down the west coast to Soufriere where the most spectacular sightings have occurred, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. On the trek back, we will motor to the breathtaking Marigot Bay for a photo op before returning to the cove.

There is nothing like a relaxing horseback ride taking in the beautiful scenery of our surroundings.

We'll experience the thrill of scuba with the ease of snorkeling on an Island Routes snuba adventure. Now we will relax and enjoy the fun of breathing underwater without the heavy equipment. We'll swim as deep as 20 feet in the seas "life-zone" for an up-close look at the diverse and colorful sea life in Saint Lucia's crystal clear waters.

The Soufriere Jeep Discovery & Waterfall Revelation will take us on a scenic journey through Saint Lucia's banana plantations, fishing villages, rainforest and lush tropical vegetation. Our guides will share the local history and stories about significant sites along the way to Soufriere, home to the majestic Pitons. The first stop is Morne Coubaril, a 250-acre working plantation where we'll learn about 18th century plantation life. As we travel along an original mule carriage pathway and through reconstructed slave quarters there will be demonstrations of plantation farming practices including copra, cocoa and manioc production. From there we will continue to the sparkling Diamond Waterfall and the Sulphur Springs where we can immerse in the rich mineral water of the mud baths heated by the volcano itself and feel rejuvenated. Our final stop in Soufriere before the return trip will be for a delicious lunch prepared with fresh local ingredients at a locale tucked away in lush tropical greenery and island exotica.

Soufriere, the old capital of Saint Lucia is also home to the famous Sulphur Springs. Here we will visit an actual active volcano. We'll also get to see the fishing villages of Anse La Raye and Canaries. There will be many photo opportunities we will be excited to share!
