1. Take in the Beauty of the Pitons – You can’t visit St. Lucia without seeing Gros Piton and Petit Piton – the two iconic volcanic peaks. If you’re up for it, hike Gros Piton with a guide (warning: it’s challenging!) Or, kick back at a beach and just enjoy the view – they look amazing from pretty much anywhere along the south west coast. Check out this video of the view from Rabot’s Hotel Chocolat:

3. Snorkel or Dive at Anse Chastanet – Love exploring the ocean? Head to Anse Chastanet for some of the island’s best snorkeling and diving. The reef just off the shore is packed with vibrant fish and coral, and if you’re lucky, you might spot a sea turtle swimming by! Check out TheScpotter’s video below of their snorkelling experience:
5. Join de Party at de St. Lucia Carnival Parade – If your plans have you visiting in mid-July, you’re in for a treat! Hands down, our fave is the Parade. St. Lucia Carnival is all about music, dancing and eye-popping costumes. The parade is a wild and colorful street party with infectious soca beats. You can jump in the action with a costume on or just soak up the festive vibes as a spectator on the streets or see the parade from one of the catamarans parked along the water in Castries. Please note: If you want to view the parade from the water on a boat, you’ll need to book this in advance. Here’s a quick little recap of our time there this year:
