St. Lucia offers excellent sightseeing and hiking. You can see most of it by taxi, bus, or rental car. Adventurous travelers willing to combine driving with hiking will want to rent a 4-wheel drive vehicle and explore some faraway corners like Grand Anse or Anse Louvet on the windward shore. Any taxi driver will be delighted to take you on a tour, or you can join organized tours through most travel agents. Popular routes are; round the island, plantation tours, where you get to see the backbone of the St. Lucia economy at work, and rainforest tours, where you hike across the middle of the island. Those interested in nature should contact the National Trust, which runs tours to Frigate Island and the Maria Islands as well as turtle watches. It is also worth calling the forestry department about rainforest tours. They can supply knowledgeable guides.
There are many marked trails in St. Lucia you can follow on your own, including rainforest hikes at the height of land as you drive across the island on the main road to the airport.
St. Lucia is well developed and offers several marinas including Rodney Bay Marina, an excellent full service facility including haul out. St. Lucia is a charter center, with charter companies in Rodney Bay and Marigot Bay. Ashore you will find lots of shops, golf, and other activities. |

Tobago Cays is a national park, and for a while, debate raged between those who envisage a "Disneylike" park with welcome centers, a dock, buildings, and moorings, and those who love it just as it is. For the moment the new park authority is doing an excellent job. No building is envisaged, the islands are looking cleaner than they have in many years, the vendors drive slowly and there is great area where you can snorkel with turtles. Please help keep the Cays wonderful. Fishing is not allowed, nor are jet or water skis. Use the dinghy moorings; do not anchor your dinghy. Anchoring your yacht is permitted behind Horseshoe Reef and around the islands in sand only. Adventurous and experienced skippers could sail outside Horseshoe Reef (the approach is easiest from the south exit) and find temporary anchorage in Petit Tabac on sand bottom only. This is strictly eyeball navigation and for calm weather only. Even so, it is small and rolly. Local boat vendors hang out in the Cays during the season selling everything from ice, bread, and lobsters to jewelry. They are a friendly bunch and very obliging if you need them to bring you ice or bread the next day. If you want to be left alone, they will do that also. Sydney, one of them, offers a big stock of t-shirts; ask him to show you some of the Carriacou Fidel productions art t-shirts ~ each one is a painting by a local artist reproduced on a shirt. Another vendor, Mr. Fabulous, sells lobster and offers a water taxi. |
Lying just nine miles to the south of St. Vincent, Bequia is the largest of the Grenadine islands - a compact seven square miles. Her history has been deeply entwined with the sea for generations. The age-old traditions of boat-building, fishing and whaling are still evident.
