What you can expect

The historic estates, charming towns, and incredible sights of Saint Lucia's southwestern coast are the setting for a grand sightseeing tour. Follow a knowledgeable guide to explore the natural attractions of Soufriere and get to know the relaxed culture of the region.

A convenient hotel pickup gets the day started, taking you for a scenic drive along the winding coastal road. Get a look at peaceful fishing villages that lie along the route to the Balenbouche Estate, a heritage site where a former plantation guesthouse stands amid a lush assortment of tropical greenery. Enjoy some fruit juice at the 19th-century building and take a walk through the grounds before you move on, passing the historic Anglican church at the River Doree on your way to the town of Soufriere.

Your visit gives you spectacular views of the majestic Pitons, a pair of volcanic spires that form a UNESCO World Heritage Site and and an iconic St. Lucia destination. From here, a ride through the countryside brings you to the bubbling waters of the famous volcanic sulphur springs, and then to the traditional working plantation of Morne Coubaril.

Once you've had a look at the beautiful setting surrounded by fruit trees and the tropical birds that flit among them, settle in for a sumptuous creole lunch. The tour winds to a close with a final stop at the lovely Catholic church in the village of Choiseul as you head back to your hotel.
