Book your private St Lucia cruise ship excursion in Castries (Charlotte) with Varoom
Your private guide meets you with a sign at the cruise port or hotel in Castries, and as you leave Castries you'll pass the banana plantation near Roseau Valley where you'll hear about the island’s main export, taste a sweet ripe banana and see crafts made from dry banana leaves; the drive continues to the fishing village of Anse Raye, famous for its seafood Friday festivals, and then to the smaller coastal village of Canaries where you get a real taste of St. Lucia and can sample freshly baked cassava bread before reaching the beautiful town of Soufriere for a brief stop at the viewing point to photograph the dramatic twin peaks of the Piton, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rising 2,400 ft from the sea, with the main highlights of the tour being the Sulphur Springs volcano experience (including the mud bath) and the scenic Toraille Waterfall.
