The Pitons are a must see if going to St Lucia. It is best to see them by boat to get the best pictures. We stopped at a beach between the two Pitons near Sugar Beach resort. We snorkeled and saw some amazing fish even saw schools of squid. It is also nice to take a drive to see the... More

Took boat tour to this beach between the Pitons. Very pretty to see the Pitons from the water. Small beach but you're going for the snorkeling and the views of the coast and NOT the beach experience. Snorkeling was very good; saw many squid, lots of other fish in this protected area.

We were recommended a guide by our villa manager on the Cap Estate. This turned out to be the best recommendation of our holiday as Fransis Alexander lived at the last house in the village before the start of the trail on the east side of Gros Piton. Fransis is an official guide for the tourist board & nature trails... More

St Lucia is a lovely and difficult place. To be surrounded by so much beauty, in the presence of an often friendly, lyrical and delightful people, to indulge oneself in some of the most comfortable sights and experiences as the Pitons while sipping on one of its mirroring pleasant cold brews, is utterly relaxing and memorable. Yet like so many... More

We went to the Pitons on a cruise excursion for zip-lining. Loved the whole thing - got a bazillion photo's - even though it rained a good part of the time there. The zip line was a disappointment, as it had only 6 short runs and you had to do A LOT of walking and climbing. Soufriere was a "different"... More

We didn't hike the pitons, but we did do a land and sea to the pitons tour. I thought it was so beautiful to see the pitons from the ocean. It allows for many great photo opportunities.
