SOAK UP THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS
Start the journey at Stony Hill, a grand privately owned home in tropical surroundings. Explore the orchid house and admire the perfume trees and flower and cactus beds. Afterwards, a pianist will play on the veranda while local delicacies are served. Next, it’s on to the charming fishing village of Gros Islet, home to the Pantime Steel Orchestra.

FOR NATURE LOVERS
TAKE A HIKE ALONG THE JACQUOT TRAIL
St Lucia’s rainforest covers nearly 7,700 hectares and is best discovered on foot. From the base of La Sorcière mountain, you’ll make a gradual ascent into the forest. Your guide will take you along the Jacquot Trail, named after the Saint Lucia amazon parrot (or Jacquot parrot) that is the island’s proud symbol. As you cross ravines, look out for epiphytes, giant ferns and colourful birdlife. Jacquot Trail Hike
