The experience

The catamaran leaves Rodney Bay Marina and heads south along the coast. You'll cruise past Port Castries, the fishing villages of Anse La Raye and Canaries, and then see the Pitons (the twin volcanic peaks that define Soufriere) from the water. This is the main photo stop of the sail, and the boat slows so you can take in the view without rushing.

Once you reach Soufriere, you head to Morne Coubaril Estate for the zip lining. The course runs through rainforest canopy, and all safety equipment is provided. After the zip lines, lunch is served at the estate: local-style food, not a generic plate. The meal and the zip lining are the two physical efforts of the day. The rest is sailing and swimming.

The final stop is Marigot Bay, a sheltered anchorage with a long history. You jump in to snorkel with the provided mask and fins. The bay is calmer than open water, and the snorkeling gear stays with you for the whole stop. Soda and alcoholic drinks are available throughout the day. The boat returns to Castries by late afternoon.

What's the Pitons view like from the water?

The Pitons are visible from the boat as you cruise south toward Soufriere, and the catamaran slows at this point so you can photograph them and see them clearly from the deck. They rise straight from the water and are the most recognizable landmark on the island.

What kind of snorkeling will I do in Marigot Bay?

Marigot Bay is a calm, sheltered anchorage where you enter the water from the boat. Snorkeling equipment is included, and you'll have time to explore the bay at your own pace. The water is protected, so conditions are usually stable.
