Petit Piton Hike

Some adventures can be had virtually anywhere; others you have to seek out. You can visit virtually any island in the Caribbean and enjoy a beautiful resort or even hike a nature trail, but the Petit Piton, that's a different beast altogether. 

That's the kind of adventure you seek out if you are brave and if you're looking for a hike that will provide a challenge unlike any you've ever experienced before. 

The Petit Piton is not an easy hike by any stretch of the imagination, and it is one that many hikers abandon long before reaching the summit.

In short, hiking Petit Piton Mountain is not for the faint of heart, nor is it for those who have never climbed before. You've got to love a thrill, seek adventure, want to see St Lucia in a way that few people ever do.

Edmund Rainforest Hike

The Edmund Forest Reserve on the island of St. Lucia is an amazing, beautiful area that is well worth visiting and exploring. That is why we are happy to offer this full day hiking adventure through the reserve.

The trail we will be taking through the Edmund Forest Reserve is approximately 7 miles, or approximately 10 kilometers long. The hike will take approximately 4 hours each way.

The trail itself is not very difficult, but there are some tough spots. As a result, while you don’t have to be an expert trekker by any means, you should be in good physical condition.

There is a great deal to see along the trail. Some examples include the highest peak in all of St. Lucia: Mount Gimie (3,117 feet), as well as an abundance of flora and fauna, rivers and numerous species of wildlife.

• The conditions within the Edmund Forest Reserve are typically very wet and moist, due to the constant rain. Hence, why it is important that participants on this trip dress appropriately.

Descartier Rainforest

The Des Cartiers Rain Forest Trail is a 2.5 mile(4km) loop trail that takes between 1-2 hours to hike. If you stop frequently to see what is around you, the Des Cartier walk can easily take 2 hours.

Located about 1,800-feet above sea level, this hike goes through moist tropical and montane forest. The area receives as much as 150-200 inches of rain annually. Come prepared.

This easy loop trail is one favored by commercial tour operators. Pay the entrance fee at the interpretive center near the trailhead. Note the number of red anthuriums growing along the path as you head into the high canopied forest.

The trail follows roads carved out by the French in World War II. Several observation points deviate from the main trail. These are supposed to be good places for sighting the St. Lucian parrot but the ones I spotted were on the main trail, not at the turnoffs.

At a northern part of the loop is a trail that links up with the , a 4-hour hike requiring a guide.

The trees bordering the Des Cartiers Trail path are tall and mature and some have Tarzan-sized vines hanging from their high branches. The gommier trees are big enough to fashion two or three canoes from them.

Bird Watching - Half and Full day

When birdwatchers consider a new destination for their next holiday, one of the first questions they ask is “what are the speciality birds of the area?”. High on their list of priorities will be birds that are endemic to that location – in other words, they are found nowhere else on earth. St Lucia is blessed with five such species and four of them can be found within the grounds of Anse Chastanet with the fifth located not too far away.

However, you don’t have to hike into the woods to find a wealth of colorful birdlife. Both Green and Purple-throated Caribs together with their tiny relative the Antillean Crested Hummingbird can be found taking nectar from the flowerbeds surrounding the accommodation areas; both Zenaida Doves and Common Ground-Doves amble along the walkways in the early mornings whilst Scaly-naped Pigeons, Scaly-breasted Thrashers, Tropical Mockingbirds and Gray Kingbirds are ever present along the tree-lined roadways. Overhead, both Broad-winged Hawks and American Kestrels keep an eye out for prey; Magnificent Frigate birds, or “Cisseau” as they are known locally simply hang in the air looking for a free meal whilst in the restaurant, if you don’t keep a watchful eye on your butter or jam, those piratical Lesser Antillean Bullfinches and Bananaquits will enjoy a stolen breakfast.

Waterfalls Adventure

Saint Lucia is an amazing destination for a waterfalls adventure! The island’s lush rainforest and volcanic landscape create some breathtaking cascades, perfect for exploring, swimming, and even hiking.

Here are some of the top waterfalls you should check out in Saint Lucia:

1. Toraille Waterfall

• Location: Near Soufrière
• Why Visit? This is one of the most popular waterfalls in Saint Lucia. It’s an easy-to-access, 50-foot waterfall that cascades into a natural pool where you can take a refreshing dip.

2. Diamond Falls

• Location: Inside the Diamond Botanical Gardens (Soufrière)
• Why Visit? This waterfall is famous for its colorful, mineral-rich water that flows from the nearby Sulphur Springs. While you can’t swim here, the vibrant surroundings make for amazing photos.

3. Superman Falls (Sault Falls or Dennery Falls)

• Location: Soufriere.
• Why Visit? A more off-the-beaten-path waterfall, this spot got its nickname after being featured in the movie Superman II. It’s less crowded, making it a great place for a peaceful swim.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to see these waterfalls in full flow is during or right after the rainy season (June to November), but they’re beautiful year-round.

Mont Gimmie Hike

Mount Gimie, is St. Lucia's highest peak, and at just over 3,000 feet (950m) above sea level we had sensational panoramic views of the island.

You could clearly see the east and south coastlines, including Vieux Fort and the Maria Islands. Looking to the north across the whole island, really gave you an
appreciation for the rugged terrain of St. Lucia. You will enjoy some incredible views for several minutes before the top of the mountain became
enveloped in clouds.
