Travel to Saint Lucia
With green rainforests, volcanic peaks and stunning beaches, St. Lucia is a nature-lover’s dream. Visitors should take the time to drive through the island’s drive-in volcano, climb to the top of Gros Piton (one of the island’s twin peaks), and trek through unspoiled rainforests, take a dip in the hot Sulphur Springs, discover the beautiful Botanical Gardens, and learn about the island’s history at Fort Rodney in Pigeon Island National Park. Whether you decide to spend most of your time topside or under the water, St. Lucia is a thrilling Caribbean destination that you are sure to remember for years to come.
Diving in Saint Lucia
Most of the diving around St. Lucia takes place in the Soufriere Marine Reserve to the island’s south. Here divers will get vibrant coral reefs and a range of tropical fish. Famous dives include Anse Chastanet, Fairy Land and Coral Gardens. Two shallow shipwrecks sunk to make artificial reefs, i.e. the Lesleen M and Daini Koyomaru, are often reported as favorite sites among dive masters in the area. There are also a few of dive sites off the northwest coastline of Saint Lucia. These sites tend to be less crowded but offer the same types of tropical fish seen in the reserve.
