Hiking & Camping in St Lucia

Hiking the Pitons is a great way to see more of St. Lucia off the beach. With a guide, you'll pass by villages and a 200-year-old town before starting the trek up the mountain. This is a moderate to strenuous hike that takes about four hours. You'll be rewarded with views of the island and Caribbean Sea.

Trek along the Gros Piton Nature Trail with a local guide during this full-day adventure on St Lucia. Visit the nature interpretation center at Fond Gens Libre to learn about the area's flora and fauna. Attempt the challenging climb to Gros Piton's summit, which affords panoramic views of the entire island and the turquoise Caribbean Sea that lies beyond. Explore the tunnels and caves at Anse L'Ivrogne Canyon, a historic site used as a hiding spot for rebel fighters during the slave uprising in the 18th century. 

Hike the UNESCO-listed twin Pitons in the company of a private guide on this 4-hour hiking tour from Castries. Go at your own pace and choose which mountain you'd like to conquer: the challenging Petit Piton or the easier Gros Piton. Bottled water and round-trip transportation from your Castries hotel included.

Rising nearly 3,000 feet out of the sea, Gros Piton and its twin, Petit Piton, dominate the west coast of the island nation of Saint Lucia. These iconic pyramids may be the most celebrated peaks of the Caribbean. Only Gros Piton (2,619 feet), the taller of the two volcanic mountains, is easily accessed and climbed by tourists.
