Sandals St. Lucia Excursions

Although every Sandals all-inclusive resort has tons of complimentary activities onsite, you’ll probably also want to explore what the area has to offer. That’s where Sandals excursions come in. They cost extra but are super easy to arrange through the resort.

You can book Sandals excursions online via the Sandals website after you’ve made your reservation, or once you get to the resort. If there’s something you really want to do, we recommend booking it in advance just to be safe.

But what excursions does Sandals offer? They are different at each Sandals resort. In this article we’ll discuss Sandals St. Lucia excursions, so read on to learn more.

Excursions at Sandals St. Lucia

Considered one of the most romantic Caribbean islands, St. Lucia is often referred to as “little Hawaii.” This picturesque island is home to some jaw-dropping scenery, thanks to the Piton mountains and rainforest interior. You can enjoy spectacular views, stunning beaches, and a plethora of activities, making St. Lucia one of the best honeymoon destinations in the Caribbean.

There are three Sandals St. Lucia resorts: Sandals Halcyon Beach, Sandals Regency La Toc, and Sandals Grande St. Lucian, all in the northern part of the island and close to plenty of activities and nightlife. Each resort is a luxurious, adults-only enclave set on a gorgeous beach, but there are some differences. (To learn more, check out our comparison article here.)

What’s great about staying at a Sandals in St. Lucia is that when you stay at one, you get to enjoy the amenities and restaurants of all three; free transfers between the resorts is included. This means you can access 3 beaches, 2 golf courses, 11 pools, 27 restaurants, and 21 bars on your St. Lucia vacation!

There is a lot to do in St. Lucia, so you’ll have plenty of options. Sandals St. Lucia excursions are all managed by Island Routes, but you book and pay through Sandals.

St. Lucia is full of wonderful natural attractions, such as the Piton mountains, Soufriere Volcano, Toraille waterfall, and beautiful beaches. Popular Sandals St. Lucia excursions are boat rides to see the Pitons, a waterfall, and bathing in the volcanic mud pits. You can either go on a speed boat or on a more relaxed catamaran.

You can explore the Pitons or Pigeon Island National Park, or book an excursion such as a sunset snorkeling cruise, the Pigeon Island Undersea Trek, a historical sightseeing tour, a rum and chocolate experience, a dune buggy and ziplining rainforest tour, horseback riding on the beach, catamaran cruises, and more.
