Rum, Chocolate and Snorkel

Take a relaxing sail along St. Lucia's breathtaking west coast to the charming town of Soufriere, where you'll catch your first glimpse of the renowned Pitons as they rise majestically from the Caribbean Sea. These iconic twin volcanic spires, connected by the Piton Mitan ridge, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the island's most stunning landmarks. Continue your journey with a visit to the historic Morne Coubaril Estate, an authentic 18th-century working plantation that offers a fascinating look into the island's cultural traditions. Enjoy a guided tour and sample locally crafted rums and chocolates (children will delight in cocoa tea and chocolate). The estate produces cocoa, coffee, and copra and grows a variety of tropical fruits, including oranges, grapefruits, and limes. Coconuts harvested here are used to create a delectable coconut cake. Immerse yourself in history as you explore how sugarcane is transformed into premium rum and learn about the art of making St. Lucia's famous chocolate. Stroll through the plantation's lush gardens and discover replicas of traditional 18th-century homes before enjoying a fresh, locally inspired buffet lunch served on the estate. Top off your day with a visit to one of St. Lucia's protected bays, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim or snorkel in crystal-clear waters. Don't forget your camera, as you'll sail through the stunning Marigot Bay, offering picture-perfect views from every angle. On the return voyage, join your guides and crew to learn some vibrant island dance moves, making the journey back to the port lively and fun. Sip on cool, refreshing drinks as you revel in the festive atmosphere.
