This is a beautiful island and the people are very friendly. We took the ship’s shore excursion because all of the sights we wanted to see were further away and the prices were about the same if we did the tour on our own. (We did a ship shore excursion on each island because we like a group environment, and with only the two of us it was cheaper.) We chose the Catamaran to Volcano. This was amazing. You sail for about an hour from Castries to Soufriere. You see the beautiful landscape and the Pitons. You don’t really get to see them any other way. We then got into taxis and drove up to the Volcano. They call it a drive-in volcano because the top was blown off the last time it erupted. It smells like rotting eggs because of the sulphur. But it’s interesting seeing the lava boil. We then went to the botanical gardens. It was very lush, full of local flowers and a spectacular waterfall. After the tours we headed back to the catamaran for lunch. Lunch was good; we had chicken, rice, pasta, and fruits with unlimited rum punch. We sailed to a secluded cove for a swim and sailed around Margot Bay for a brief tour. St. Lucia’s pier is beautiful and offers lots of shopping unless you get unlucky and dock on the industrial side. If this happens you have to take a taxi to the shopping plaza.
