A true paradise in the tropics, St. Lucia is the perfect place for a honeymoon retreat. Many things to do and see around the island can fill hours with beauty and provide memory making time with that special someone.

Pigeon Island Nature Reserve – Visitors can take walking tours of this park and see some of the wildlife and the historical buildings on the island. The park offers views of the nearby island of Martinique.

Volcano Drive – An exciting trip for two, guests can sit back and appreciate an island drive to St. Lucia’s only volcano into which humans can drive their cars. The volcano has not erupted since the 1700s, but steam does escape through openings in the surface of the volcanic crater.
