Cruise with Nature Hike
Board one of our catamarans for a relaxing sail to Soufriere where you will head to Morne Coubaril Estate and embark on a hike to Sapphire Waterfall, taking you deep into the lush rainforest to soak in its healing mineral waters. Begin with a trip through the 18th century estate, where you will pass by a replica Carib village and the historic plantation house. The nature trail enters the lush tropical rainforest and passes mineral streams and pools, along the way to Sapphire Falls, a 35 feet mineral waterfall fed from the volcano. Relax here with some amazing photo opportunities where you will be offered refreshing seasonal fruits. Once you leave this paradise your guide will escort you back to the estate for a delicious local buffet lunch.
After your hike to Sapphire Falls, sit down and relax with nature while enjoying a Creole buffet lunch at the Morne Coubaril Estate plantation house. Lunch is prepared using local provisions and vegetables grown on the estate and of course includes dessert, if you have a sweet tooth. We return to the boat and head back up the coast to our swim stop, where snorkling gear is provided if you’d like to check out the underworld. The day would not be complete if you didn’t see Marigot Bay, St Lucia’s best hurricane haven and location to many movies. As the day winds down, try a few dance moves to some of the Caribbean’s latest songs before returning to docks for 5pm. All tours include complimentary drinks, sodas, fruit/rum punch, rum mixes, transfers and entrance fees. Children under 12 half price.
