St Lucia Activities

• St Lucia Rain Forest

Deep in Saint Lucia's mountainous, tropical islands interior almost 1,800 feet above sea level, lies 19,000 acres of rainforest and the 29 miles of trails that run through it.

It is a habitat for rare birds and plants, a world where lushness is overpowering, where elusive parrots squawk overhead, orchids scent the air, hummingbird buzz near brilliant helicon and climbing palms encircle tall trees.

It has taken centuries for Saint Lucia's tropical island rainforest to become its current well developed refuge.

• Sulphur Springs at Soufriere

St Lucia is said to have the only "drive-in" volcano in the world. The road runs right up to and through the crater of the Soufriere Volcano.

Also known locally as the "sulphur springs", it has become a major tourist attraction. The crater emits steam and sulphur with boiling mud and water bubbling away just a few meters from the tourists.

The last eruption occurred in the late eighteenth century and the volcano is considered to be dormant.

• New Jerusalem Mineral Baths, Soufriere

It is located just a short bus ride from Soufriere Town towards are the New Jerusalem Warm Baths, a welcomed retreat for sore muscles and a tired psyche.
