St Lucia Ultimate 3: Aerial Tram, Zipline and Hiking at Rainforest Adventures

3.St Lucia Ultimate 3: Aerial Tram, Zipline and Hiking at Rainforest Adventures

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 262 reviews · from $115

Spend about five hours at Rainforest Adventures St. Lucia with a private group, riding the aerial tram, walking rainforest trails, and taking eight zip lines across 16 platforms. Guides such as Dela, Mel, Josiah, and Marcia are praised for safety and clear nature commentary, though pickup details need careful checking.

“Booked this trip, did not go on the trip because the driver arrived early and we were not told of the arrival time by the company or our resort. They refused to reimburse us our money. This is not a good tour, their communication is poor. They wanted to book another day, but we had other things booked those days, still they refused to refund us.”

Gros Piton Hike

5.Gros Piton Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 89 reviews · from $60Best value

Hike Gros Piton through tropical forest to broad views of Soufrière, Petit Piton, St. Vincent, and Martinique. Private pickup is offered, but the local park admission and trail guide fee are separate. Drivers such as Kevin and Julian have earned praise for friendly island commentary.

“Taxi arrived promptly and taxi driver Kevin was great. Journey from the north to base of Gros Piton was approximately 1.75 hours. A large bottle of water was included in the price and believe me it was needed for the climb along with extra we took along and some snacks. We did have to wait 30 mins for our taxi at the end which was a little disappointing but a bottle of Piton ( local beer & also included in price) went down well 😁”

Gros Piton Hike

7.Gros Piton Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 42 reviews · from $156

Hike Gros Piton with a local guide after a scenic drive from Castries through banana country, old villages, and Soufriere. Expect a moderate start, steep rocky climbing later, about four hours on the mountain, island views, lunch, and hotel or port transport.

“This was a great excursion and a once in a life time experience but the intensity of the hike needs to be more apparent when booking. The van ride, lunch, and after lunch swim were all great and there are no complaints on that part. However, given how strenuous the Pitons climb is, I think there needs to be an option to complete a half vs. full climb as well as inform people that there is no path and this excursion involves climbing over rocks and a very steep incline.”
