St Lucia / Things to do

St Lucia is an island where you find a great deal of choice of things to do.  Our Special Interest sections deal with a range of different subjects but in terms of attractions, some of St Lucia's activities and attractions are shown below.  You may also like to look at our secton on Places of Interest:

Treetop Adventure Park, Dennery - A 35 acre piece of woodland providing a variety of activities at the heart of the St Lucia rainforest, Treetop Adventure Park offers cycling tours on forest trails, zip lines around the canopy and the testing Treetop Challenge Course as well as the new Kiddies Adventure Park. Knowledgeable and friendly guides, BBQ, bar, washrooms and transfers from the hotels in the north. See a video of the Treetop Adventure Park.

Rain Forest Sky Rides - Set in a section of forest in the north of island, Rain Forest Sky Rides offer guided gondola tours through the tree canopies. Experienced guides educate and inform the tour on the wide variety of flora and fauna visible from your seat. Suitable for people of all ages, facilities for the physically challenged.

The Pitons -These twin pointed volcanic peaks rise side by side mid way down the Caribbean coast like massive eye teeth. Incredibly striking, when viewed from both sea and land, they appear as free-standing peaks, but in fact they are part of the walls of a volcanic cone that blew itself apart an estimated 40,000 years ago. The area is still volcanically active of course, though unlike other volcanoes in the region the Soufrière has not erupted violently recently (at least not in the last few million years). Instead it vents, releasing the pressure through the Soufrière, which sells itself as the world’s only ‘drive-in volcano’. 

The Gros Piton can be climbed, for more information see our Hiking & Walking guide under the Special Interests.

Sulphur Springs Park - Not the most attractive place in the world, but it has a certain fascination. A living volcanic vent, a stinking morass, where sulphur bubbles in mounds of mud and nothing can grow. Smelly, but unique as the world’s only ‘drive-in’ volcano.
