St Lucia tours: Embarking on a catamaran tour sailing around St Lucia’s coast is a brilliant way to soak in the sun and relax while you take in views of St Lucia’s gorgeous coastline and beautiful Piton Mountains.
I’ve discovered an awesome tour offered by Island Routes that allows you to turn this experience into a create-your-own-adventure type of tour where once arriving in Soufriere, you can select from a variety of experiences to add to your day for the perfect St Lucia tour!

The Pitons, St Lucia
The Pitons are two iconic mountainous volcanic spires located in St Lucia known as Gros Piton and Petit Piton.
Gros Piton is 798.25 m (2,618.9 ft) high and located at the Southern end of Pitons Bay. It is the second-highest peak on St Lucia after Mount Gimie.
Petit Piton is 743 m (2,438 ft) high and located towards the middle of Soufriere Bay, north of Gros Piton. Dominica, Martinique, Bardados, and St. Vincent can be seen from its peak.
The two Pitons are linked by a ridge called Piton Mitan Ridge. The Pitons have been deemed a World Heritage Site.
Seeing the Pitons is a must-do during your visit to St Lucia, and this tour will let you experience them from both land and wanter!
With Island Route’s “Mutiny Explorer by Land and Sea Tour“, you can customize your own private tour and see what you really want to see. Start by sailing down the coast enjoying the island’s amazing scenery from a catamaran until you arrive in Soufriere. You’ll have amazing views of the Pitons! Once you arrive in Soufriere, hop into your chauffeured vehicle waiting to pick you up from the dock.
You’ll be able to choose from the following tour stops:

At the end of your adventure, you’ll return to your catamaran and will have an opportunity to swim and snorkel at the base of the Pitons. Next, you’ll end the day by sailing into the St Lucian sunset, passing through gorgeous Marigot Bay for some amazing photo ops. You’ll get to dance on the catamaran to island rythms as you return back to the starting point of the tour to end your day. Talk about a tour with an amazing value!
