St. Lucia Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia (4K 60fps)
Floating like an emerald teardrop between the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea is the island nation of St Lucia.
For centuries the original Arawak and Carib made their homes around the islands northern bays. In the 1550s, the notorious buccaneer, Peg Leg Le Clerc, became the first European to settle here.
After the pirates came the plantations, and the bittersweet years of sugar and slavery. Between the 17th and 19th centuries, St Lucia was pulled back and forth between the French and British, before finally gaining her independence in 1979.
Right in the heart of the capital, Castries, the main square pays tribute to two of the island’s Nobel Prize winning sons. Just across from the park, visit the basilica, filled with murals that blend the colours and traditions of Africa, the Caribbean and the West.
At the Central Market, taste the fruits of this island’s volcanic soil, enjoy real St Lucian home cooking, and browse crafts made by local hands. The creation story continues at Eudovik’s Art Studio, where master carvers transform tree roots into sensual works of art.
The sleepy French colonial town, Soufriere, is cradled by some of the island’s greatest natural treasures. Just a short boat ride away is one island’s finest resort beaches, Anse Chastanet. While nestled between the two volcanic spires of Gros and Petit Piton, is one of the west coast’s most secluded hideaways, Sugar Beach.

Day 5 was our first excursion day!
We decided to take the Breathtaking Soufriere & Warm Mineral Baths half day excursion as a calm but still scenic way to get to know a new island. On the way to Diamond Botanical gardens, we stopped at multiple scenic overlooks, got glimpses of the iconic Pitons, and got to explore the shops at Anse La Rey (Stingray Bay). The trip last 5.5 hours and we were exhausted when it was over. Dinner was great, and then we ended the night with a movie on the deck.
Caribbean | Windward Islands | St Lucia (Helen of the West Indies)
St Lucia was the 5th port of call on the Southern Caribbean cruise aboard Carnival Glory.. The island's beauty has earned it the nickname Helen of the West Indies and I would consider this to be one of my favourite islands that we visited on our cruise.
The island is quite mountainous, owing to its volcanic features in particular the two peaks that rise from the sea- Gros Piton and Petit Piton (2,619ft and 2,461ft respectively).
St Lucia is still geologically active and boasts the world's only 'Drive-in' Volcano at La Soufriere, also known as the Sulphur Springs due to the multitude of thermal springs in the area- some are far to hot to bathe in, however nearby there is a bath house whereby the natural springs are at a more tolerable level, in addition you can also take a hot mud bath.
The beaches are not the usual crisp white sand you see in other Caribbean islands, but has more of a darker shade (black in places) due to the sand being based on volcanic rock.
To get around the can take quite some time despite its size as alot of the main roads circumnavigate the island, and to travel in land the roads are often quite steep and twisty due to the terrain. This can lead to some unexpected, spectacular views at times.
The island is mostly covered by a rich rain forrest, and due to the rainfall and fertile soil there is a large variety of plants and fruits that are grown on the island.
We did not book one of the Carnival excursions as the trips were too short and could not be combined to see what we wanted to see due to timings. Instead we booked a Scenic Tour of Sourfrier privately. On the day we had the advantage of having the entire minivan to ourselves as no-one else was booked on the tour, so in effect we had a 'private tour' as opposed to be herded round in large groups (of people I often find loud/annoying) as is normally the case on the cruise ship organised tours. Our driver 'Shan' was amazing and given the fact that we were the only people on the tour, also meant that we had individual tours at each of the destinations along with being able to spend more time in places to look around etc. He carried a cool box in the minivan which had complimentary refreshments for the day. While driving round Shan was fully of interesting insights relating to St Lucia and was happy to answer any questions. It all made for a very enjoyable day and to be honest I was sad to leave as I genuinely liked St Lucia as the people are warm and friendly and when walking around, you do not get harrassed by vendors as is normally the case with other Caribbean islands. It was a very relaxing place and definetly one I would return to for a longer stay.
During our time on St Lucia we were able to see:
- The Pitons (from a distance, as climbing them takes some experience)
- Toraille Waterfall (You can swim in the plunge pool - but the water is very cold!)
- Diamond Waterfall and Botanical Garden - Originally a sugar plantation, it has been transformed into a diverse botanical garden with fruits, nuts, flowers and trees from around the world growing here. There are independent tour guides who will take you on a tour of the garders our's (Alexander) was very knowledgeable and an interesting character! We had a lot of fun! There is also a natural spring bath here which is available for a small charge.
St Lucia has a mixture of French and British influences as it was fought for on many occasions in the past before finally becoming a British colony; though now independent since 22nd February 1979, it is still a member of the Commonwealth of Nations associated with the UK.
Napoleon Bonaparte's first wife, Josephine de Beauharnais was from St Lucia.

Entry Title: Castries, near Montpellier, France
Entry:
What an interesting shape we have travelled on the map of Europe! Quite a shock to find ourselves driving back through Lyon! We had a good drive down though half of it was through driving rain which i found a little challenging. We felt we had made pretty good time but as we got within a couple of kilometres we were rather dismayed to find the streets narrow and packed with traffic and an incredibly busy hectic scene in all directions, surely this wan't Castries. It took several laps and some serious drives down tram roads and one way streets before we realised we had entered Centre of Montpellier as our final destination on our GPS and not Castries. On the bright side we had a good look around the city. 18km later we found our way to Marc and Trangs, that was after visiting a lovely house in the neighbourhood and much gesticulation about where to go. We enjoyed a restful afternoon, a nice walk to the river with Trang and the kids and a delicious roast dinner before heading off to bed. We only had two nights in Castries, Marc and Trang felt sure it was meant to be more, but I reassured them I had it right ( I found later I was wrong again) We were pleased to see it was wet in the morning and it gave us a chance to relax before our next big drive. It was also Cassandra's 9th birthday and she enjoyed some gifts that we had managed to smuggle along the way as well as a birthday cake in the evening. Trang dropped her and I in the town for a walk in the afternoon and after waving her off Cassandra immediately sprained her ankle. It began to swell immediately so we hobbled to a local cafe and applied first aid. A delicious hot chocolate for the soul and ice for the ankle. We then hobbled home of course getting lost on the way, only to be helped with directions from numerous lovely locals. The next morning we were up and away again before seven for our next long drive to Polopos Southern Spain via Alicante

St. Lucia (font princess.com)
Nestled below the Pitons, twin peaks rising over 2,600 feet above the azure waters of the Caribbean, St. Lucia is an oasis of tropical calm. The island's capital, Castries, is a town of charming, pastel-colored colonial buildings, home to some 60,000. Yet despite its peaceful setting, St. Lucia has a turbulent and colorful history. Fierce Carib warriors overran the peaceful Arawaks in the 9th century. The first European settler, Francois Le Clerc, was a French buccaneer. Le Clerc's countrymen followed in his wake, establishing the town of Soufriere in 1746. Sugar was the lure, sugar was king. Within four decades some 50 plantations flourished on the island. Thus St. Lucia became part of the Caribbean's 18th-century trade triangle of sugar, slavery, and rum. Today this beautiful island welcomes visitors drawn to its exotic tropical landscape, superb beaches, crystalline waters, and colorful marine life.
Sulphur Springs, the Pitons, Scenic Cruise & Lunch
Experience the best of St. Lucia by land and sea. You'll start your adventure with a scenic ride aboard your air-conditioned transportation through the capital city of Castries, stopping for photos at Morne Fortune, the Hill of Good Luck.

Returning to Soufriere, you'll board your catamaran for the sea portion of your exciting activity. While aboard, you'll view of the majestic Pitons, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stop in a secluded cove for a refreshing swim, then cruise into Marigot Bay, the lush, tranquil haven that's been used in many Hollywood films including Dr. Doolittle.
