Join us for a wonderful, relaxing
and enjoyable vacation to what many will say is the best island in
the Caribbean. St. Lucia is the sort of
island that travelers to the Caribbean dream about--a small, lush
tropical gem that is still relatively unknown. One of the Windward
Islands of the Lesser Antilles, it is located midway down the
Eastern Caribbean chain, between Martinique and St. Vincent, and
north of Barbados. St. Lucia is only 27 miles long and 14 miles
wide, with a shape that is said to resemble either a mango or an
avocado (depending on your taste). The Atlantic Ocean kisses its
eastern shore, while the beaches of the west coast owe their beauty
to the calm Caribbean Sea.

In natural beauty, St. Lucia
seems like an island plucked from the South Pacific and set down in
the Caribbean. Its dramatic
twin
coastal peaks, the Pitons, soar 2,000 feet up from the sea,
sheltering
magnificent rain forests where wild orchids, giant ferns, and
birds of paradise flourish. Brilliantly-plumed tropical birds
abound, including endangered species like the indigenous St. Lucia
parrot. The rainforest is broken only by verdant fields and orchards
of banana, coconut, mango, and papaya trees.

The island's people have
earned a well-deserved reputation for their warmth and charm, and
the island itself is dotted with aged fortresses, small villages,
and open-air markets.
There is a broad array of
exciting and exotic
activities
available on St. Lucia. The island's steep coastlines and lovely
reefs offer excellent snorkeling and scuba diving. The rainforest
preserves of St. Lucia's mountainous interior are one of the
Caribbean's finest locales for hiking and bird watching. Of course,
the island also possesses excellent facilities for golf, tennis,
sailing, and a host of other leisure pursuits. Not to be missed is
St. Lucia's Soufriere volcano, the world's only drive-in volcanic
crater.

Did I mention scuba diving?
We get many divers on our trips and
we cater to you. St. Lucia is in one of the most scenic settings the
Caribbean has to offer, with the top St. Lucia dive and snorkeling
sites right off
shore.
Just 15 yards beyond the waters edge, the reefs remarkable
ecosystem offers an amazing profusion of
unusual tropical marine life in 20 to 140 feet of calm clear water.
In the shallow areas be sure to keep your eyes open for peacock
flounders, octopus, needle fish and turtles. Or drop down a little
deeper over dense coral growth to see puffers, moray eels, parrot
fish, lobsters and even sea horses. St. Lucia is a volcanic island
with stunning scenery above the water. The majestic twin Pitons,
rise to over 2619 ft, dominating the island and the Soufriere
diving/snorkeling sites. This stunning scenery is duplicated
underwater with white sand, volcanic pinnacles, sheer walls,
shipwrecks and coral reefs with a multitude of marine life. We can
visit over 25 diving/snorkeling sites suitable for all levels from
absolute beginner to avid dive nut. Depth ranges vary from 12 ft to
around 140 ft. For those who prefer to snorkel, there are many
beautiful shallow reefs with an abundance of fish and aquatic life
easily visible from the surface.
