With lush mountains and baby blue waters, St. Lucia is one of my favorite Caribbean destinations for couples looking for a romantic week away. The occasional concern with my clients, though, is that there’s not enough to do in St. Lucia. The truth is that there is so much to do, chances are you won’t get to everything in just a week.
Top resorts picks in St. Lucia are the adults only, couples-oriented all-inclusive resorts Sandals Grande St. Lucian and Sandals La Toc Resort. Sandals offers so much at their resorts, including water sports and scuba. Plus there’s exchange privileges (stay at one and play at three) and golf fees are included at the 9 hole La Toc Golf Course.
It is always fun, though, to explore the island a bit. Here are our top picks for excursions and tours away from your resort:
- Tropical Jeep Safari – $90
- Waterfall Cycling Adventure – $70
- Hiking the Pitons – $155
- Zipline – $110
- Horseback riding – $75
- ATV adventure – $135
- Volcano highlight – $90
- Whale and dolphin watching – $100
- Piton sunset cruise – $95
Or, for the ultimate in exploring, visit a nearby island (flight is included)
- Grenada for a day – $475
- Dominica for a day – $490
These tours are operated by Island Routes, and are open to families and couples who are staying in St. Lucia. Age and physical restrictions apply to some tours.

The first time I ever went zip lining was in St Lucia, I LOVED it, now that is the first activity I look for when visiting any island.
Wow–so much to do in St Lucia.
St. Lucia is one of the Caribbean islands that we haven’t been to yet. I would love to go, especially to one of the Sandals resorts!! Thanks for the great info!
