Rhythm Discovery Tour (North Island Tour)
Three hours of magic moments
Best value for money anywhere with great ambassador service.
<back to main tour page
No need for a whole day tour, Short, Sweet, Fun, Tasty
ONLY 3 HOURS
The highlight of this fabulous tour is a visit to the island’s distillery, St. Lucia Distillers Ltd. Its extensive line of specialty rums and liqueurs, 21 varieties in all, tease the palate with a unique ‘taste’ of the Caribbean. Flavours range from orange to ginger, cocoa to peanut, coffee to coconut.
The fun begins with warm meet and greet with your ambassador at your cruise port arrival lounge, hotel lobby or private villa. Look for your ambassador's green polo shirt and the SERENITY sign and logo.
Castries Cathedral
Together, we’ll hit the road en route to 200-year-old Castries Cathedral, the largest and oldest church on the island. Ideally, it stands alongside the oldest tree on island, a 400-year-old Samanea saman or rain tree.
Morne Fortune
Next stop, the historical ‘ruins’ of Morne Fortune for a bit of island history. These centuries’ old buildings were chess pieces as warring French and British armies, fought for possession of the island in the 1700s.
Banana plantation
We move from forts to farming with a detour to the Roseau Banana Plantation, where you’ll be treated to a taste of St. Lucia’s sweetest and most important agricultural export.
Marigot Bay
You’ll have a photo opportunity when we pause for a bird’s eye view of Marigot Bay one of the sites for well known films such as the original 1960s version of Dr. Dolittle and 1970s Sophia Loren film Fire Power. Marigot Bay with its secure cove and spectacular scenery is one of the most beautiful sites on the island.
