The bus eases away from Castries and the coast opens like a painted edge — fishing boats bobbing, low houses shaded by tall palms. Through the windows, the Pitons arrive suddenly: two dark teeth thrusting from the sea, Gros Piton and Petit Piton rising roughly 2,500 feet above Soufrière Bay. At a roadside stop most groups take a breath for the first proper look; wind and sea spray sharpen the view. From there it’s minutes to Morne Coubaril Estate, where the engineered quiet of a zipline platform meets a working plantation.
