Even first-time visitors to St. Lucia will recognize the Pitons, twin volcanic peaks that rise from the sea to tower some 2,400 feet over the island. They’re the frequent subject of photos and vacation guides that advertise the tropical lures of the Caribbean; they also offer an awe-inspiring welcome to cruise ship passengers as they approach this stunning destination.

Castries, St. Lucia’s historic capital, is known for its quaint cobblestone streets and centuries-old colonial architecture. Outside the city, evidence of St. Lucia’s volcanic history – frozen lava flows, bubbling sulphur springs and mud pools – and the quiet surf of Marigot Bay are enchanting natural attractions. Dolphin- and whale-watching tours are another popular excursion here, with tourists encouraged to greet wildlife above and below the waves with skiff and snorkeling trips.
