St Lucia Attractions

Below is a list of some of the best nature, heritage and cultural st lucia attractions, including waterfalls, hiking trails, plantations, gardens and historic sites. Most sites are between Soufriere and Vieux Fort, within 15 – 30 minutes from Balenbouche Estate and of each other. Several popular St Lucia attractions are also in the North of the island and on the East and West Coast. It takes about 2 hours to drive from North to South, there is no road from East to West – the main road loops around the coast and it takes about 3 hours to do the whole loop. The best way to see the island and visit the many sites and attractions is to rent a car. If you prefer to drive shorter distances, consider staying in more than one place.

Most sites and trails require a local guide, but cost only $5 – US$ 15 per person to visit. This goes towards maintaining the site, providing employment, and ensuring a quality visitor experience, including education and safety. A few of the St lucia hiking and rainforest trails cost more, especially if you do these as part of an organized tour and/or if transportation is included. Some require advance reservations (reserve) others require you to hire a private guide (guide). Ask about hiring a local guide at the place you’re staying. At many of the sites you can just show up and pay the entrance fee.
