subject: 3 Fun Activities To Enjoy In St Lucia [print this page] If you are planning a holiday in St Lucia, why not spoil yourself and stay in one of the top luxury hotels like Cap Maison? St Lucia is a stunning Caribbean island with everything you could ever want from a tropical holiday, but one of the best things about it is that there is a huge range of activities to keep you interested if you dont want to spend the whole time on the beach. Here are a few of the best.
1. Trekking
If youre feeling adventurous, trekking could be the perfect activity to try when you stay at Cap Maison. St Lucia has a number of places where you can organise a trek through the rainforest with a guide, and you will find a number of routes available depending on your experience level. With tropical birds to encounter and plenty of waterfalls to cool off in, it is an excellent way to discover more of the beauty of the island. For one of the most exciting treks, arrange a hike to the top of Gros Piton and enjoy the spectacular view from the summit.
2. Whale Watching
Whale watching is another one of the popular activities that can be arranged for you to enjoy when you stay in a hotel like Cap Maison. St Lucia is blessed in that it has an abundance of sea life and whales are one of the most exciting creatures to see in their natural habitat.
The whale-watching season lasts from May until November, and at these times you will be able to spot Humpback whales on their annual migration. Although seeing a whale is not guaranteed, there is a very good chance of spotting one during your trip - and it will be something that you will never forget.
3. Scuba Diving
Scuba diving is one of the most popular activities in the Caribbean and St Lucia has an enviable selection of top-quality spots for divers of all levels. Along the coastline you will find shipwrecks, reefs and a huge variety of marine life including turtles, seahorses and countless species of tropical fish. Some of the best dive sites to check out during your holiday include Anse La Raye, Anse Chastanet and the wreck of the Waiwinette Freighter. There are many more, however, so find out which sites are most appropriate for your ability level when you arrive.
While weve highlighted these three, there are plenty of other fun activities to keep you busy when you stay in a luxury hotel like Cap Maison. St Lucia is not just a holiday destination to spend all day on the beach unless you want to of course! There are so many things to see and do here, including some excellent golf courses, windsurfing and deep-sea fishing to name a few. Come and discover the rest for yourself.
