The Pitons and Hotel Chocolat and the Hot Springs
Bonkers11 Says: If, after experiencing the Hot Springs you dont fancy the Piton climb then go to Hotel chocolat and watch the sunset behind The Pitons. Its a brilliant place to eat or drink.
laurenkjones Says: Climbing the Gros Piton, the taller and southern of the 2 pitons, was the most excting and rewarding thing we did on St. Lucia. The hike takes on average 4 hours, 2 hours up and 2 hours down. It is a difficult hike and you should be in good shape to enjoy it. The piton rises...
SWFC_Fan Says: The volcano crater situated close to Soufriere is said to be "the only drive-in volcano in the world", on the basis that you can park your cars in the crater! In fact, there are even people living within the perimeter of the crater.The crater was created some 40,000 years...
SWFC_Fan Says: The Diamond Waterfall is located in the Diamond Botanical Gardens in Soufriere.The water comes directly from the nearby volcano crater and is coloured by the minerals that it contains. On the day that I visited, the water appeared to be brown. On other days it appears green...
SWFC_Fan Says: The Pitons are undoubtedly the most famous landmark on St Lucia, and arguably one of the most famous sights in the Caribbean.These two volcanic peaks stand either side of Soufriere Bay, although from a distance they appear to be side by side (see above photo).The peaks are...
jadedmuse Says: It's not easy to get to this area if you're coming from the capital of Castries - but the ride through the St. Lucian rainforest is interesting and educational.Once you arrive in Soufriere, you'll see the famous Pitons' silhouette in the distance. Just ask anyone where the...
View of Soufriere from the south
Martin_S. Says: This is a picture of the town of Soufriere as seen from the south as you climb the road toward the Pitons. There is a "lookout" there where you can see this view and also a perfect place for seeing some of those perfect Caribbean sunsets. If you look close you can just about...
Martin_S. Says: There is an active volcano on St.Lucia which they promote as the only "drive through" volcano. They don't let you actually drive through it, but the road does lead into the old caldera. You then take a short walk through to see the active fumerols.
Martin_S. Says: The Pitons as seen from our dining area at Talk To Me Cool Place. They loom over the town of Soufriere and are the most noticeable landmark on the island. There is a trail that you can hike up to the top, but it is almost straight up.
Martin_S. Says: This is a great pic for me, both Michael (the owner and manager of Talk To Me Cool Place) and Tal were tired from getting up at 02:30 to make the airport by 04:00. But they both took this picture, you can see Michael did not stand up straight so that Tal would not look too...
Martin_S. Says: This is a pic of the biggest grasshopper that I have ever seen. If I were to guesstamate the size, it was about 12-15 centimeters long. I told the girls that it was in the room only in the morning, otherwise we would have to removed it before we went to sleep, so I "saved"...
Martin_S. Says: This is the Talk To Me Cool Place outside dining area.
The Still: Traditional St Lucian buffet lunch
SWFC_Fan Says: The Still restaurant in Soufriere offers a buffet lunch where you can try traditional St Lucian cuisine.This spacious restaurant is set in an excellent location with amazing views of the surrounding rainforest. The table I was sat at provided a vista of the restaurant’s...
Various resorts in area: Not really
tpappas Says: We chose to have nice meals once per day and decided to visit various resorts in the area to do so. We dressed country club casual but hip.
SWFC_Fan Says: Piton beer is brewed and bottled on the island of St Lucia, in the town of Vieux Fort.The beer takes its name from St Lucia’s most famous landmark – the Pitons (two volcanic peaks in the town of Soufriere), and the label on the bottle depicts this amazing landform.
Martin_S. Says: We had several "guides" approach us after we parked our car, they wanted to "guide" us to the sulfur springs. After you purchase your ticket the concrete path that leads you to the springs is very well maintained and clear, you do not need a guide.
SWFC_Fan Says: Bananas are one of the most important crops on St Lucia, and one of the island’s main exports.They are grown all over the island and feature prominently in St Lucian cuisine. The three types of banana grown on the island are the “normal” bananas that you buy in supermarkets,...
Martin_S. Says: Try and find the path that takes you down to the beach below The Pitons. As you approach on the road you will pass several fancy hotels, pass them and you enter a small village, at one point there is a very small turnoff to the right, sort of a trail really, take this to its...
Martin_S. Says: The Soufriere Sulphur Springs are a good spot to send a few hours relaxing after you have spent the day traveling or walking. Just drive into Soufriere and ask how to get there.
SWFC_Fan Says: The currency of St Lucia is the East Caribbean Dollar.This same currency is also used on the islands of Dominica, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Montserrat, Antigua and Barbuda, St Kitts and Nevis and some other nearby islands.However, if arriving from Barbados or...

You must venture into the town and leave your preconceived notions behind. Sure people will approach you for a few EC coins. Give it up. They need it more than you. Plus you may meet the Bird Man,...
