Things to do & places to see

This volcanic island boasts cascading rivers, waterfalls, lush rainforests and one of the most breathtaking mountain lakes imaginable. Make sure you don't miss the 3-hour Rum Runner boat trip, a fun-packed excursion combining a live steel band, limbo dancing and rum punch with time ashore at Morne Rouge Beach. If you're feeling adventurous, there's rainforest to explore, and you'll want to visit the capital St George, widely believed to be the loveliest city in the Caribbean.

Highlights of St George

Leaving the pier you will drive through the town of St George, established in 1650 as a French settlement and the capital of the British dependency of the Windward Island from 1885 to 1958.  You will travel over Old Fort Road, and on to Morne Jaloux Ridge residential area, passing Fort Frederick.  Your drive then takes you on to the Grand Anse Valley and to True Blue where the St George's university is located.  Stop for photos before continuing back along the picturesque Carenage with its attractive waterfront, fine restaurants and shops.
