Morning light slides across the Caribbean and the driver eases the van out of Castries, the island opening in stages: palm-fringed bays, rust-red rooftops, and mountains that seem to press the sky. On a private island sightseeing tour of Saint Lucia, travelers move at their own pace — stopping for cassava bread in a fishing village, lingering where the Pitons loom, or slipping into a calm cove for a quick swim.
