PANORAMIC TOUR TO THE POINTE DES CHATEAUX
Leave the ship and treat yourself to a tour of panoramic views to one of the island’s most popular destinations: the Pointe des Châteaux, or castle point, located at the island’s easternmost tip.
A drive along the southern coastline will see you reach St. François and discover its treasures. Head east along the coastal road to the Pointe des Châteaux, a rock formation sculpted by the wind to resemble a castle’s crenellations. A walk will take you up to the highest spot, from where you’ll catch views of the neighbouring Caribbean islands simply perfect for a photo or two. As the outing continues you will stop for a drink before going to Morne-à-L’Eau, a town curiously noted for its artistic cemetery, which represents the unique black-and-white architecture of the West Indies (picture from the bus). A short drive will then take you from Morne-à-L’Eau back to your ship. Guests must be at least 4 years old to participate.
Please note: The path up to Pointe des Châteaux involves going up/down approx. 400 steps. Due to safety considerations, the climb to the cross is subject to weather conditions. The path leading to Pointe des Châteaux is narrow in places and includes steep steps. It can also become muddy and slippery. Guests are recommended to bring a bottle of water on the tour, suitable shoes (no flip flop or sandals). Guests must be at least 4 years old to participate. The order of stops may vary
