Things to do in  St Lucia

St. Lucia is probably best known for its twin volcanic peaks, the Pitons, which can be explored on foot, by ATV, or helicopter. Nestled among the hillside greenery, you'll find sulphur springs, waterfalls, rainforests, and nature reserves, while the island coastline boasts picturesque beaches, bays, and fishing villages.

The rolling St. Lucia landscape is ideal for hiking and off-road adventure, while Sulphur Springs Park offers a laid-back immersion in volcanic mud. Along the coastline, explore island capital Castries and snorkel and dive around the offshore reef. Families get their kicks at Treetop Adventure Park or Splash Island Water Park.

Plan a week in St. Lucia. Bask on the beach before exploring the water by boat and reef snorkeling or scuba diving. Hike the Gros Piton Nature Trail or fly high on the aerial tram or ziplines. Practice self-care at Sulphur Springs Park and visit a vibrant town (Castries or Gros Islet).

Reef snorkeling, mountain trekking, and mud bathing are some of the popular St. Lucia activities. Adventure with ziplines, in natural springs, and on an aerial tramway. Get cultured on a rum tasting session, agricultural tour, and guided city walk. Or, ride horses on the beach or drive ATVs through rainforest.

For many, the island's natural landscape—volcanic peaks, hidden springs, vast nature reserves—is its greatest feature, and top natural attractions include Pigeon Island National Park, Sulphur Springs Park, and Toraille Waterfall. For others, the bays and beaches are the charm—best explored on beach excursions, town tours, or offshore cruises.

No. St. Lucia is reasonably priced, with options for every budget. If you're looking to splurge, the island's high-end resorts offer views over the Pitons, sea, and beyond. But you can enjoy similar views, for free, from the local beach at sunset. Pick up holiday souvenirs in the plentiful duty-free stores.
