NORTHERN VIEWS and HISTORICAL PIGEON ISLAND
Take some time to visit the northern reaches of St. Lucia, including Pigeon Island. Your tour begins with a coach ride through the capital, Castries City, and on to the Morne Fortune vantage point. After a chance to savour and photograph views of Castries Harbour and the northern landscape, you will travel through the Morne Complex on a scenic route that skirts the city.
Look out for charming communities and vistas of the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean as the coach heads for the small village of La Guerre, where bird’s-eye views of the Marquis Estate – once one of the island’s largest banana plantations. Your next stop will then be at Monchy, an excellent place to see Rodney Bay and Pigeon Island from afar and take some more photos, before moving on to the Cap Estate residential area, home also of the exclusive Sandals Golf and Country Club. Although it is still called an island, the Pigeon Island National Park – the final highlight on the tour – was linked to the mainland by a causeway in the early 1970s. Situated on Pigeon Island is the 19th-century British-built Fort Rodney. A tour of the historic remains will give you a glimpse back in time, spend some time on your own relaxing, swimming or hiking up to Fort Rodney for a view of Rodney Bay and the Northern coastline. After, your return journey will take you through the village of Gros Islet and bring the tour to a close. Guests must be at least 4 years old to participate.
