St. Lucia Excursions

Located in the eastern portion of the Caribbean Sea, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, is the island nation of St. Lucia. Couple its natural beauty with a culture that is heavily influenced by the French, and you have one remarkable vacation destination. St. Lucia excursions offer you the ideal opportunity to experience a wealth of marine and wildlife tours, take in some absolutely breathtaking sights, and expose your adventurous side.

Experiencing St. Lucia

St. Lucia offers hours of adventure for travelers of every type and level of experience. Whether you're a seasoned outdoor explorer or someone looking for a fun day on the town, there are endless things to do and sites to see.

Pristine Sandy Beaches

There's no shortage of beautiful beaches that surround the mountainous landscape of the island of St. Lucia, from Anse Chastanet to Reduit Beach. We can't possibly list them all, but we can try. The lively port village of Marigot Bay is located on the western shores of the island and offers several stretches of soft sand with clear calm waters for easy surfing and a romantic atmosphere. Anse de Sables is one of the most picturesque beaches in St. Lucia, and it has shimmering white sand that stretches over a mile long! It can be found just east of the village of Vieux Fort. Sugar Beach (Jalousie Beach) is a paradise like no other. Located at the base of the famous Gros Piton mountains, just south of the town of Soufriere, it's hands down one of their best beaches. Plus, this mountain range isn't just any old backdrop, it's a certified UNESCO World Heritage site! You could spend your whole trip exploring all the different beaches St. Lucia has to offer.

Beautiful Island Wonders

There's more to this Caribbean island than pretty beaches. From the rejuvenating hot springs at the Sulphur Springs to quaint fishing villages like Gros Islet that surround the island, St. Lucia is nothing short of paradise. For such a small island, it is also blessed with a diverse and exotic array of wildlife. A wildlife tour is an absolute must - witness all sorts of canaries, iguanas, parrots, and more, or try scuba diving to see all the local marine life. The flora here is as magical as the fauna. Take a pleasant walk around the St. Lucia Botanical Gardens and take some Instagram-worthy pictures.

Thrill Seeking Adventure

So many thrills await you on the island of St. Lucia. Go on a world-class zipline adventure through the trees, explore nature trails while horseback riding, or climb and jump off the breathtaking Toraille Waterfall near Soufriere. There's also a variety of water sports activities: scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing, and so much more. A St. Lucia vacation can be as exciting as you want it to be.

Fun Island Tours

Not much of a thrillseeker? No problem. There are a lot of relaxing things to do too. Pigeon Island is a national landmark, a nature reserve, and a popular spot for tourists and locals alike. It's a great place to do some sightseeing and exploration. Or check out the only drive-in volcano in the world, the Soufriere Volcano, which has mud baths that attract thousands of tourists each year. More interested in history? St. Lucia happens to be home to historic sugar mills and banana plantations that have been around since the 18th century. They offer private tours for visitors as well.

Shore Excursions Group offers St. Lucia tours and shore excursions that give you a comprehensive look at the island by both land and sea, where you can encounter volcanoes, rolling hills, and all kinds of beautiful fauna. Another plus? St. Lucia uses the Eastern Caribbean dollar, which has a favorable exchange rate for US dollars (1 USD = 2.70 East Caribbean dollars as of winter 2022). While, their official language is English, Saint Lucian French Creole, which is colloquially referred to as Patois ("Patwa"), is spoken by the majority of natives.
