Day 1 Arrive in St Lucia
Make your own way to St. Lucia where your Tour Manager will meet you at your hotel for your welcome meeting that evening.
Meals included: DDay 2 St Lucia Tour
Join your Tour Manager for an included tour of St Lucia today, which begins with a drive through the countryside. We'll stop off for a stroll to discover some of St Lucia's more exotic plants and have the chance to sample freshly picked fruit. We'll also learn the art of Creole cooking before trying traditional dishes such as pepper pot stew, callaloo and plantain, and see how rum is distilled before enjoying a tasting.
Meals included: BDay 3 Rodney Bay - at Leisure
Discover more of the Rodney Bay area at your own pace today or spend your time relaxing in the Caribbean sun.
Alternatively, join our half-day optional excursion to St Lucia's capital Castries, which will introduce you to its hidden gems. We'll visit the local market, where you can try out your bartering skills as you shop for souvenirs, and we'll also see the process of silk-screening and watch a sculptor at work. There's the chance to enjoy some duty-free shopping before we head back to the hotel.
If you would like to do something more active, you can choose to join a different optional excursion altogether. You will embark on a hike of the Gros Piton, the highest of the island's famous volcanic peaks, which is reached via a scenic journey. We'll set off early and travel along the picturesque Morne Fortune hill, past banana plantations and through the traditional villages of Anse La Raye and Canaries, where we'll stop to taste local bread. We'll then drive through Soufriere to the foot of the Gros Piton. The hike - with one Local Guide per four climbers - is moderate to begin with and becomes more strenuous as we go higher, so we recommend this excursion to experienced hikers only.
Day 4 Rodney Bay - at Leisure
Today you could join our optional dolphin and whalewatching excursion. During this exciting boat trip, you can also look out for many other types of incredible marine life that can be seen in the waters surrounding St Lucia. Alternatively, spend today relaxing on the beach or enjoying the facilities at your hotel, which include two outdoor pools and a spa. Later, you could choose to join our optional sunset catamaran cruise. On this two-hour trip, you'll be served canapés, "champagne" and a rum punch or two while listening to the sounds of a steel band and taking in the lovely views.
Meals included: BDay 5 Land and Sea Safari
Today we include a thrilling land and sea safari which takes us down the west coast to Soufriere. As we travel in an open-air Jeep we'll relax in the shade and admire the gorgeous views of the Caribbean coast. There's a stop for snorkelling, and the boat will navigate Marigot Bay, which you may recognise as the setting for many films, including Dr Dolittle.
Day 6 Rodney Bay - at Leisure
