The programme

During the first part of our excursion, which is carried out aboard a motor catamaran/cruising boat, we stop just off a beach where we can go for a swim. From here, we reach the small town of Soufrière, nestled in the foothills of the Pitons, two famous twin volcanoes * Gros Piton (797 m) and Petit Piton (750 m) * symbol of the island and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, from where we can enjoy amazing views.
Soufrière means “solfatara” and is named after the sulphur water springs that are so common in the region. Founded by the French in 1746, Soufrière is now a lively town with a typically Caribbean atmosphere. Here, we can visit the sulphur springs offering an amazing bubbling sulphur spectacle.
The next stop on our tour is the botanical gardens, where we can admire amazing species of tropical flora and fauna.
For lunch we head to a restaurant to enjoy a buffet of Caribbean dishes.
On our way back to the ship by coach, we can take pictures of a few characteristic views offered by the lush banana plantations.
Before reboarding the ship, we will also stop at Pointe Seraphine, where the best duty free shops of the Caribbean are located, and you can buy jewellery, perfumes, make-up, spirits, cigarettes and cigars, souvenirs and local crafts.
