St. Lucia is known for its natural beauty, including the iconic twin Piton peaks, rainforests, waterfalls, and sandy beaches.

St. Lucia is a Caribbean island nation located in the eastern Caribbean Sea. It is part of the Lesser Antilles and is located southeast of Martinique and northwest of Barbados. St. Lucia's capital and largest city is Castries. The official language is English, but French patois is also widely spoken.

When we first visited the island on 11/30/2016, it was a rainy day.  We made arrangements for a private tour from the port at Castries along the west coast down to Soufiere and then back.

On our second visit on 2/17/2025, we took a group tour Castries along the west coast down to Soufiere stopping at Marigot Bay, Maranatha Gardens, and the sulphur springs in the Soufiere caldera.

 It is a popular tourist destination and is known for its luxury resorts, diving sites, and adventure sports such as hiking, sailing, and zip-lining.
