Spend a full day on a catamaran from Rodney Bay to Soufriere: see the Pitons, bathe in Toraille Waterfall, tour the Sulphur Springs and snorkel Anse Cochon. This cruise mixes geology, Creole culture and reef snorkeling into one accessible seaside day.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran slips from Rodney Bay at first light, the engine easing while reef-edged water catches the morning. On a clear day the Pitons appear as vertical landmarks on the horizon, their volcanic flanks dropping into the sea. Guests move between shaded deck benches and sunny rails, watching coastline shift from low coral beach to steep volcanic cliffs as the boat heads south toward Soufriere.
