Things To Do
Ride a horse on Cas En Bas beach
Located just 5 minutes away from Pigeon island in the north of Saint Lucia, Cas En Bas beach is beautiful, and remains mostly undeveloped. The beach is a popular trail for horse riding tours, some of which include riding with the horses into the water. There is a separate horse-free section of the beach you can dive into to cool off once you’ve safety secured your horse, and a restaurant where you can grab a bite.
Go deep sea sport fishing
It’s not hard to find a company that specializes in deep sea fishing in Saint Lucia – the sport has gained popularity over the years. The best deep sea fishing locations in Saint Lucia are quite near to the shoreline due to the volcanic nature of the island, and the fact that the underwater drop off area (where fish populate) is just two miles off the coast. During a deep sea fishing adventure in Saint Lucia you can expect to find big game fish such as blue marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and dorado.
Take your kids to Splash Island Water Park!
Located in Rodney Bay on the popular Reduit Beach, Splash Island Water Park is a good time for kids who know how to swim. While you relax on the beachside, kids can enjoy the floating obstacle course under the watchful eye of Splash island lifeguards. After splashing about in the water park, there are plenty of restaurants on the beach that are great for dining.
Join an open-air aerial tram ride above St. Lucia’s verdant forest
A smooth and easy going way of exploring Saint Lucia’s flora and fauna, the aerial tram ride in Saint Lucia is part of the offerings from Rainforest Tours Saint Lucia. The tour includes an aerial tram ride, fern nature trail, and one nature interpreter per eight guests. This tour is great if you want to learn the ins and outs of Saint Lucia’s rainforests. Insider Tip: Though the aerial tram ride is covered to protect you from the sun, it’s still a good idea to walk with sunblock and a snack.
Enjoy a beer at the Antillia Brewing Company
Antillia Brewing Company is a popular choice for visitors as it is located at Point Seraphine, a shopping complex near central Castries. When cruise ships are in port, you can expect to find Point Seraphine bustling with visitors, which could mean it’ll take just a little longer to get a cold one from Antillia’s. Wait times are not usually a problem though, and you’re unlikely to regret stopping by!
Shop at Catries Market
Who doesn’t want to return home with a few souvenirs to share their experience? The Castries Market is a top choice for picking up small trinkets, and souvenirs of every variety. You can even get local spices and handmade soap here, which are a few of the things found at the market which are worth shelling out a little cash for.
Explore Pigeon Island National Landmark & Visit Fort Rodney
A trip to Saint Lucia is incomplete without checking out the Pigeon Island National Park. Within the park you’ll find Fort Rodney, a historic hilltop with ancient canons and other old war artifacts. There are amazing views from the top of Fort Rodney, and you’ll be able to get great photos to take home. Once you trek back to the park, there are two private beaches inside where you can spend the day lounging, eating at a restaurant, and drinking at the bar.
