Taking it In… While Taking It Easy

You’ll tour through Laborie and Choiseul, nearby small fishing villages and along the west coast to Soufriere for a photo stop. Next, you’ll visit the Botanical Gardens and Diamond Falls, where the group stops for an hour. Take a dip and enjoy the water! Then it’s off to the only drive-in volcano on Earth, at Sulphur Springs mineral and mud baths. Returning to the resort, enjoy breathtaking views of the southern island from Moule a Chique peninsula.

Next, you’ll visit 100-year-old Vigie Lighthouse and get a historical and cultural experience at the Lushan Country Life Centre.
