Re: St. Lucia

We did the ziplining and the horseback riding on the beach... both were great! (although the ziplining also kind of terrified me.

)

We were supposed to do the catamaran tour to the volcano on one of our last days, but I got sick and couldn't go. A bunch of people told me that was good though.

Re: St. Lucia

We did:

Whale Watching - fun and relaxing for the first day. Very beautiful, but don't get sun burned like we did!

The Land and Sea Tour - Mainly because we wanted to see the Botanical Gardens, which were AMAZING.

Piton Hike - I have some experience hiking and my DH has a lot. This was challenging for both of us. It was a great experience but I was in pain by the end and I recommend it only if you are both in really good shape, and have proper footwear. They tell you it's a 'moderate hike' but it's actually kind of advanced and has some scramble. Climbing the Piton is like the unofficial sport of St. Lucia. People there will brag to you about their fastest climb or descent. The guides seem to think the tourists also want to set a record and were going at a breakneck pace. I just wanted to get some exercise and enjoy the view, not kill myself. There was this couple with us who both looked like supermodels and had told us about other 'adventure vacations' they took and they were even having a hard time keeping up. I am glad I did it because I have amazing pictures and for the rest of my life I will be able to say 'I Climbed The Piton!' But if you do it, bring enough water and be careful!
