Go for a memorable countryside ride on this St. Lucia excursion. Throughout this St. Lucia excursion, you'll be treated to picturesque landscapes, charming communities and many other unforgettable attractions. Book your trip today! You'll leave the pier and head up to Morne Fortune, but not before passing through Castries. When you reach Morne Fortune, expect your jaw to drop at the incredible sight of the harbor and northern coast. Stop at the Howelton Estate, the 18th century home of a dentist which has been converted into a cafe, art studio, and shop. After a nice drive through the countryside, you'll reach the St. Lucia tour's main attraction: Pigeon Island. At Pigeon Island, you'll have an hour and a half to take advantage of the area's best photo ops. The 44-acre landscape is home to some of the most fascinating flora and fauna in St. Lucia. Originally, the place was completely surrounded by water but eventually became connected to the mainland via a causeway back in the 1970s. When you reach the island, you'll be provided your own beach chair so you can soak up some sun and relax. Feel free to explore the park, or even go hiking up the fort. Shower, restroom, and changing facilities are on site to freshen up. After 90 minutes of fun, you'll be taken back to the ship. Please Note: Pigeon Island Park will be closed from April 1, 2026, to May 31, 2026, due to the St. Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival. Guests will still be able to access the beach area located outside of the park.
