As we cruise through Marigot Bay, you will be captivated by its picturesque and idyllic beauty. Surrounded on three sides by steep emerald-colored hills and with a strand of lush palm trees along the shoreline, Marigot Bay is certainly one of the most beautiful bays in the Caribbean!
Marigot Bay is a safe harbor during hurricanes, a haven for luxury yachts and was the location of the 1966 movie Dr. Doolittle staring Rex Harrison. Overlooking the cliffs on Marigot Bay are homes from famous celebrities including Mick Jagger, Sophia Loren and George Foreman. You will also be amazed by the house that looks like a UFO! |

St. Lucia's coastline is truly spectacular. The aquamarine waters of the Caribbean Sea against the dramatic drop of high rocky cliffs is definitely impressive.

You will be in awe as we travel past secluded and picturesque black sand volcanic beaches.
At Anse Chastanet we will make a brief snorkeling/swimming stop. This beautiful sheltered cove surrounded by lush hills and glorious palm trees is absolutely stunning!  |

The Bat Cave in Soufriere Bay is another sight sure to captivate your interest. See, smell and hear the screeching of "Fishermen Bats" which reside in this unique 4-storey high cleft in the coastal rock.   |
| From Soufriere, it is a short drive around the base of the Petit Piton to Jalousie Beach. Your Jalousie Beach Break will allow you to enjoy 3 - 4+ hours of serene beauty in a tropical paradise. |

 During your time at Jalousie Beach you may relax and enjoy a swim in the warm crystal clear water or marvel at the abundant sea life as you snorkel along the base of the Petit Piton. A sumptuous hot, Creole beach lunch will also be provided.   |
Jalousie is French for "jealousy" and it is easy to see why! This dramatic white-sand beach nestled between the stunning volcanic peaks of the Gros and Petit Piton boasts amazing scenery and spectacular views that will simply take your breath away!  |
