Tips for Driving in St Lucia

Best all inclusive St Lucia resorts

There is no excitement in the world quite like a visit to beautiful St. Lucia. Picturesque mountains, a breathtaking rainforest, historic sites, and even a drive-in volcano ensure that there is always something beautiful to see or do rain or shine, but if you are arriving via cruise ship or are only staying for a little while, how do you choose so that you get the best island experience possible in a limited time? Here, we will look at what we feel are the island’s top three “must see” attractions. With three varied options that give you both indoor and outdoor entertainment, you really can’t go wrong.

If you’re in St. Lucia for a limited amount of time, the excursions offered by Real St. Lucia tours is a can’t miss. The trip only lasts about five hours, but it takes you through the highlights of the island and includes everything from pickup at your port or hotel to free beverages, lunch, and entrance fees to numerous sites and attractions. Take a tour of a banana plantation, visit fishing villages, explore historic Soufriere, and even explore the only drive-in volcano in the entire world. If that still doesn’t sound like the perfect trip, this excursion ends with a trip to one of the island’s beautiful Caribbean beaches, giving you the chance to take a dip in the world’s most beautiful waters before you enjoy some duty-free shopping and head back to your ship or hotel.

ISLAND EXPO

If you have the luxury of spending a night on the island of St. Lucia, you certainly can’t miss the Volcano Night Bash. This privately guided tour takes you to Sulphur Springs in Soufriere, the world famous drive-in volcano. During this bash, you will have the opportunity to take a dip in the relaxing and medicinal hot mud pools created by the volcano. There is a shower for you to rinse off afterwards, and the tour includes transportation, a local tour guide, and free alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages. It really is a “must experience” tour and is one that shouldn’t be missed if you have the opportunity to take part.

Last is the historic city of Soufriere. Here, you will find attractions like the famed Tet Paul Nature Trail, but you will also find amazing indoor attractions, such as historic churches, local shops, incredible restaurants and more. Soufriere is the original capital of St. Lucia and is home to a great deal of history as well as many modern attractions and amenities. Whether you come for an hour or a week, Soufriere is the place to be in St. Lucia. It may no longer be the island’s capital, but it is still in many ways its heart.

In short, there is no shortage of adventure to be found in St. Lucia. Visiting the island is something you will remember for the rest of your life. While a camera is the perfect way to capture the picturesque scenery to show your friends and hold onto throughout the years, you can rest assured that this beautiful island will remain in your mind forever, just as it is- perfect.

Knowing what to do when you arrive can be a daunting task, as there is so much to see, do, and experience, but by getting to know the island, you can get a much better feel for the sights and attractions that will be best suited to your tastes.
