Anse La Ray, 16th Century Cathedral

Start your day by meeting your guide and accessible van at the St. Lucia cruise dock. First, you'll set out on a beautiful scenic island drive through banana plantations and beautiful mountain views, before making a stop in Anse La Ray, a small charming fishing village to the far western side of the island right next to Castries. In Anse La Ray, you will exit the van by the small center square to get out and explore firsthand. Take a stroll down the small pier, meet local fishermen and see what they caught for the day, make your way around the charming little city streets with traditional small cottages, and visit the beautiful old cathedral from the early 16th century.

Piton views

As your tour continues to the city of Soufriere, you will make several photo stops along the way. Not only is St. Lucia lush and rich in produce, it is a volcanic island which provides some amazing views, including the Pitons. While the Pitons volcano site is not wheelchair accessible, one can still see them from afar and capture some beautiful photos.

Diamond Botanical Garden

In Soufriere, you will experience one of the only fully accessible waterfall views in the world! In the popular Diamond Botanical Garden, your tour guide will take you on a spectacular stroll while sharing all that he knows about the fauna and produce of the island. The path in the garden is accessible with no steps or steep inclines. At the end of the Gardens, you will see the amazing Diamond Waterfall right in front of you. A traditional St. Lucia buffet lunch will be served at an accessible restaurant close to the gardens.
