4 Hikes in St Lucia to Plan a Trip Around

1.Rainforest Hike and Waterfall Safari

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 567 reviews · from $66Our pick

From Gros Islet, you ride an open-air 4x4 through plantations and rainforest to Anse La Raye. Guides such as Lulu, Marley, Crystal, and Kelvin share island stories, point out plants and wildlife, and lead you across streams to Venus Estate Waterfall. Bring water shoes, sunscreen, and a camera.

“The rain forest safari tour from Gros Islet was a great way to see the lush natural beauty of Saint Lucia's west coast. The open-air 4x4 vehicle allowed us to spot lots of local wildlife as we drove through the fruit plantations and forests. The highlight was definitely the Venus Estate Waterfall, where we had about 20 minutes to swim in the refreshing pools, snap photos of the cascades, and take in the tranquil scenery. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, though I would have loved to have a bit more time to fully enjoy the waterfall area. Overall, a wonderful introduction to Saint Lucia's rainforest ecosystem!”
