Bel Jou, St Lucia

Exploring St Lucia

Tucked between Martinique and St Vincent, the Windward Island of St Lucia offers a wealth of attractions despite its diminutive size. At its longest it is just 27 miles from end to end, and a mere 14 miles across, but you will find plenty to keep you occupied on this, one of the friendliest islands in the Caribbean.

Fringed by coral reefs and sandy beaches, the island features rainforests full of orchids and brightly-coloured birds, lush plantations of banana, coconut and mango trees, and imposing mountains such as the iconic peaks of the Pitons. Saga’s carefully-planned excursions will show you the classic sights and hidden gems of this welcoming island.

Included excursions on eight-night* holidays:

Castries, Rodney Bay and Pigeon Island (half day): Enjoy a heritage walk around the island’s capital.
Catamaran cruise to Les Pitons (full day): Sail along the coast by catamaran before disembarking to visit the world’s only drive-in volcano.

Plus, on holidays of 15 nights* or longer:
