The Castries region

St.Lucia manages to strike a perfect balance between being unspoiled yet at the same time offering the visitor plenty to do. You can play tennis or golf, snorkel or scuba diving or go horseback-riding. You can take excursions to local banana or cocoa plantations; go on a tour of a rum factory or an old sugar cane plantation; go on expeditions to nearby waterfalls, sulphur springs and hot baths, or to the botanical gardens and drive-in volcano.

You can visit Pigeon Island Museum where lookouts once directed ferocious sea battles between the French and British fleets; go for a hike in the lush tropical rain forests in search of the elusive St. Lucia wild parrot; visit a quiet fishing village; or just, lunch and relax in places of exquisite natural beauty and tranquillity.

St. Lucia is a major charter boat centre and there is also an extraordinary range of other boating and marine activities available. You can take a boat trip from Castries to Soufriere, at the south end of the island, on one of at least 10 different types of vessels.

Party in a Spanish Galleon with a live steel band, cruise in a luxury motor boat, a deep sea fishing boat, or sail a variety of sail boats while eating, drinking and dancing on board. While in Soufriere, visit the famous twin Pitons and the drive-in volcano.

There are sailing trips to Martinique and around the island; you can rent jet skis, hobie cats, scuba diving equipment; go water skiing, sports fishing, wind surfing or riding on catamarans. Fish Friday at Anse Le Raye is a must!
