This is the island's headline sights, reached by sea. From Rodney Bay you sail south past the Pitons on a roomy catamaran, with rum drinks flowing on deck.
At Soufrière you go ashore for Toraille Waterfall, the Sulphur Springs and the old Morne Coubaril plantation estate, where lunch is a Creole-style buffet.
The afternoon belongs to the water: a swim or snorkel at Anse Cochon and a cruise into Marigot Bay before heading back to the marina. Hotel transfers are included both ways.
Why This Journey
Seeing St Lucia's west coast from a catamaran deck gives you the Pitons at their best angle and saves the long drive south. You still get time on land for the waterfall, the volcano and an estate lunch, so the day balances sightseeing and sea time.
It suits couples and groups who want a full, sociable day out, and first-time visitors who'd like the island's best-known places in one trip.
Good to Know
The cruise lasts about 8 hours, starting and ending at Rodney Bay Marina, with hotel transfers both ways. Bring swimwear for the waterfall, the optional mud baths and the swim stop at Anse Cochon.

Yes. If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure or book pre-tour accommodation with us, your airport arrival transfer is included. If you choose alternative pre-tour accommodation or arrive by another mode of transport, you’ll need to arrange your own arrival transfer.
Our arrival transfers are private to Soca Islands and are organised in groups based on flight times. Sometimes this means a short wait at the airport until other flights arrive.
There are no scheduled activities on the final day, so feel free to book your departure at your own convenience.
We recommend arriving before 3 pm on Day 1 to make it in time for the welcome event. But don’t worry no matter when you land, we’ll have an airport transfer ready for you.

Please keep in mind that our itinerary, activities, and hotels might change. These adjustments could happen with little notice due to factors like availability, weather conditions, seasonal shifts, or other circumstances beyond our control. Rest assured, we always aim to minimise any impact on your experience. Occasionally, we may tweak the itinerary to try out fresh ideas and keep the adventure exciting.
We believe solo travelers shouldn’t have to pay extra to explore the world. That’s why our group trips are designed around shared accommodation and do not include a single supplement. Solo travelers joining our group trips are paired in twin or multi-share rooms with another traveler of the same sex for the duration of the trip.
Some of our Independent trips are structured differently. For these itineraries, solo travelers will need to book at the single occupancy rate.
Tips are not included in the cost of this tour. Remember, tipping is entirely at your discretion and based on what you feel comfortable with.
