The experience

Five hours on a private boat means you set the pace through Soufriere's coast without a fixed schedule or a crowd. The route starts at the Tunnel of Love, the limestone formation where Pirates of the Caribbean was shot, then moves through Marigot Bay and past the fishing villages of Canaries and Anse La Raye. The boat stops at Anse Cochon to walk through St. Lucia's ancient history, then heads to Anse Chastanet Beach and Reef, where you snorkel in the water and walk the beach to see Jade Mountain and the Anse Chastanet Resort.

Lunch comes at a local restaurant serving hot meals, and the fifth stop is optional: a dip in the Sulphur Springs mud bath and a look at the volcano if you want it. Toraille Waterfall is next, where you can rinse off in fresh water and swim. The day ends at the Soufriere market for a local experience. Snorkeling equipment, bottled water, soda and rumpunch are provided throughout.
