More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Rodney Bay as the north coast recedes and the island’s spine tightens—small farms and coastal coves roll past while the Pitons loom ahead, twin peaks that seem to measure the day. The driver eases you into Soufriere’s slower rhythm: a local breakfast, then the smell of roasted cacao at Hotel Chocolat where guests follow beans into bars with sticky, hands-on instruction.
