Island Adventure by Land and Sea
Spend the morning driving through the interior of the island and its lush foliage, lunch in Soufriere and then sail and swim in the afternoon.
You will set out from the port in the morning on the driving portion which is part scenery, part historical land tour. Sights will include a working banana plantation, Marigot Bay - haven to yachts and the location for the 1967 film Dr. Dolittle, as well as the picturesque fishing villages of Anse La Raye and Canaries. Your St. Lucia excursion will continue to Soufriere, home of the world-famous Pitons. Here you will enjoy a visit to the Diamond Botanical Gardens, before driving to a local plantation restaurant for a local buffet lunch. After lunch, you will have a quick chance for a plunge in a therapeutic pool before driving down to the coast where you will board your catamaran sailboat. The boat size will depend on the number of participants. The group size on this St. Lucia excursion is usually between 70 - 90 guests. There is a shaded deck as well as space in the sun to relax. Your boat has restrooms on board. A sail of approximately 20 minutes brings the CAT to a picturesque secluded bay where you will anchor for approximately 45 minutes for swimming and snorkeling at your leisure from the boat. During the next hour, you will sail north towards the harbor with a quick sail into Marigot Bay (where the films Fire Power and Superman 2 were also filmed) for photos. Then on to Castries Harbor for your return home. Throughout the sail, keep your eyes open for playful dolphins that often swim alongside our catamaran.
