Overview
You will be met by your guide at your cruise port ready to start your half day tour.
Leaving the port behind, sit back and get ready to explore a few of St. Lucia’s most popular landmarks and have time for some sea, sand and fun. This combo tour is historical and adventurous and is highly recommended if you are traveling with children.
The first part of the tour takes you through the capital city and up to the first landmark; The Morne. At the top of this impressive mountain are views of the harbor, city and north of the island. As you explore this area you will come across historical buildings and monuments. The first stop on this tour is at Howelton Estate, the 18th century home of a dentist now converted into a café, art studio and retail outlet.
Your drive continues through charming communities in the mountainous rural areas on the outskirts of the city. Views of the Atlantic and Caribbean coastlines will be pointed out as the lush tropical landscape hugs you.
The last stop of the day is at the Pigeon Island National Landmark. This National Trust protected site is geologically and historically significant. Occupied by many throughout its history from Arawaks to admirals, this landmark was particularly valuable because of its vantage point. The island was unattached to the mainland until 1972 when a causeway was built.
Inside the park are ancient ruins and stunning beaches. You will enjoy 90 minutes to rest and relax at the beach, beach chairs are inclusive in your tour. If you are feeling more active, explore the park or even go hiking up the fort. You have access to shower, restroom and changing facilities on site to freshen up before heading back to the port.
