Petit Piton Trail

Reviewed By kelliecole

Climbing Petit Piton will be one of the best hikes I ever do. The St. Lucian forest, the technicality of the trail as it turns from root grabbing to rock face scaling with rope and guide assistance, and the view of the island from the top is one of the best. Ashley Walking Tree (758-722-2413) met us at the main road turn to Sugar Beach and guided the four of us foot by foot, hand hold by hand hold for the next four hours. We are all in good physical shape, started the hike at 7:30am and were finished by 12:30. None of us had experienced a hike quite like this before and Walking Tree made it possible. He takes his job seriously and was able to help me (who's a shorter person) and people in our group who are sometimes afraid of heights. Without him the hike would have been much more difficult, and perhaps longer as the trail is not marked. Walking Tree's demeanor is calm, tells you we'll warm up the body for the first 1/4 of the trail, gauges comfort levels and offers step by step guidelines of how to easily work with the mountain to climb it. It was a great experience with him and I highly recommend the challenge. Walking Tree has 17 years experience hiking Petit Piton and has been teaching his son, Hennison (758-714-4213) to do the same. They can be reached at either number. We scheduled our trip only a day in advance.

En Bas Saut Trail

A hiking trail winding along a number of scenic waterfalls.

Reviewed By Ang767 - Albuquerque, United States

We took a hike through the rain forest and it was like a dream! We were the only ones there besides some cool forest crabs and birds. Our wonderful guide, Jahrod, drove us there and guided us, educating us along the way about the lush flora and birds. It is a moderate hike and will take about 3 hours roundtrip. There was a lovely waterfall at the bottom of the trail and we took a dip. Contact Jahrod, he's your man! StluciaEcoAdventures.com. Tell him Angela referred you.

Reviewed By Allrre - St. Lucia, Caribbean

The black sand beach is one of the best beach when it comes to the positive energy one feels when relaxing cause the positive vibes comes from the Soufriere drive in volcano also the reef and its marine life is the best in St Lucia and by far the Caribbean

Jamal was a great guide (and awesome photographer!) and the hike was easy and non- strenuous with extremely rewarding views- a fantastic way to view the pitons and a must do when in St Lucia.
